“The International Health Terminology Standards Development Organisation (IHTSDO) has launched a new IHTSDO Workbench with tools to develop, maintain, and facilitate the use of SNOMED CT in health systems around the world. IHTSDO’s 11 Member nations and other SNOMED CT users will use these tools in a shared web-based environment.
“Helping partners from around the world to collaborate on common challenges is one of the reasons that IHTSDO was founded,” says Jennifer Zelmer, IHTSDO’s chief executive officer. “The will to cooperate was there from the beginning, but the Workbench makes it easier to work together and to spread innovations that will improve health and health care”.”
