The use of standardized terminologies is an essential component to support interoperability in electronic health records. In British Columbia, Canada, a commonly used nursing wound assessment template was mapped to SNOMED CT. Preliminary results have found that 50.8% of the wound assessment data elements had direct matches to concepts within SNOMED CT. Results of this mapping activity have produced a set of mapped wound assessment parameters to SNOMED CT.
