Purpose and approach

1. The objective is to develop ten case studies that cover the six domains – data entry and integration through to research – and can demonstrate how SNOMED CT is used.

2. Each detailed case study provides an overview of the organization involved, the use of SNOMED CT and the benefits realized.

3. The case studies are not equivalent in scope, scale and/or benefits achieved.

4. The benefits achieved In each case study are shown as patient service outcomes and patient health outcomes as outlined in the SNOMED International Vision.

5. The benefits described in the case studies are also used to validate the assumptions, and in some instances the data points, in the benefits model and the economic analysis.

6. The Case Studies-at-a-Glance are summarized in this section of the final report. The detailed Case Studies are provided in Appendix 2. 1
