Progressing to Higher Maturity Levels (User Organizations)

This section provides guidance to support User Organizations in progressing to higher levels of maturity in the use of SNOMED CT.

This section provides guidance for User Organizations (e.g., healthcare providers) on how to progress between maturity levels.

Progression typically involves moving from isolated clinical use cases to enterprise-wide integration and data-driven care.

Moving from Level 0–1 (None / Basic) to Level 2 (Emerging)

• SNOMED CT used in isolated workflows • No governance or strategy • Limited training

• Establish ownership and governance • Define implementation goals • Expand to additional clinical areas • Provide basic training

→ Structured but limited organizational adoption

• Use across several departments • Inconsistent workflows • Limited interoperability

• Standardize use across departments • Embed SNOMED CT into workflows • Strengthen governance • Improve training and support

→ Consistent use across key clinical processes

• Broad adoption • Workflow integration underway • Limited data use

• Integrate across systems • Improve data quality and consistency • Expand interoperability • Introduce analytics and reporting

→ Fully integrated organizational use

• Integrated systems • Reliable data • Limited optimization

• Implement real-time analytics • Enhance decision support • Continuously improve workflows • Use data for performance improvement

→ Data-driven, continuously improving care delivery

• Clinical engagement • Strong governance • Workflow integration • Effective use of data
