London-based SNOMED has partnered with DCHealth as an approved delivery agent of its CT education product throughout China.
DCHealth and SNOMED have struck an agreement to deliver mutually agreed upon SNOMED CT educational content including the organisation’s clinically and “technically curated” Foundation and Implementation courses, with the potential to offer the organisations suite of Authoring courses for delivery.
SNOMED began delivery of education programming to support understanding, use and implementation of SNOMED CT in 2015. It has since been exploring ways to broaden its ability to educate audiences interested in clinical terminology.
SNOMED CEO, Don Sweete said: “We recognise and value the growing interest and demand for SNOMED CT education in China.”
David Shi, the founding CEO of Digital China Health said: “In China, we are so passionate about big data and AI in healthcare, but without comprehensive coding, the benefits of medical data are limited substantially. The desire to adopt a world-leading terminology is met with this great opportunity of assisting SNOMED CT in disseminating education locally. With our hands-on experience in the national projects in cancer, cardio and nephropathy, local experts will soon discover that SNOMED CT is the missing part they had been looking for.”
