SNOMED was designed as a comprehensive nomenclature of clinical medicine for the purpose of accurately storing and / or retrieving records of clinical care in human and veterinary medicine.

The metaphor used by Roger A. Côté, the first editorial chair, was that SNOMED would become the periodical table of element of medicine because of its definitional organization beyond the hierarchical design.

SNOMED was jointly proposed for development to the College of American Pathologists by Drs.

Côté and Dr. Arnold Pratt and the former was appointed as Editorial Chair of the Committee on Nomenclature and Classification of Diseases of the College of American Pathologists and developed the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine ( SNOMED ) from 1973 to 1997.

In 1998, Dr. Kent Spackman was appointed Chair of this Committee and spearheaded the transformation of the multi-axis systems into a highly computable form ( See SNOMED CT ): a directed acyclic graph anchored in formal representation logic.

SNOMED was designed from its inception with complex concepts defined in term of simpler ones.

The early nosological efforts grouped diseases by their symptoms, whereas modern systems ( e. g. SNOMED ) focus on grouping diseases by the anatomy and etiology involved.

The SNOMED CT medical terminology ontology alone contains 370, 000 class names, and existing technology has not yet been able to eliminate all semantically duplicated terms.

The terminology is an American Nurses ' Association-recognized terminology, is included in the UMLS, is HL7 registered, ISO-compatible and available within SNOMED CT with appropriate licensure.

In the field of Electronic health records there are a number of existing information models with overlaps in their scope which are difficult to manage, such as between HL7 V3 and SNOMED CT.

The Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine ( SNOMED ) is a multiaxial, hierarchical classification system.

For the Morphology axis, SNOMED has agreed to collaborate and use the same harmonized codes shared with International Classification of Diseases for Oncology.

The ambitious development of SNOMED required many more axes ( see multi-axial design, below ).

** Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms ( SNOMED CT )

This axis has particular importance because the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine (" SNOMED ") has adopted the ICD-O classification of morphology.
