EHR Reporting and Analytics

The design of SNOMED CT facilitates the use of a range of powerful reporting and analytic techniques. For more information about the applications of these techniques, please see the guide to Data Analytics with SNOMED CT. The same techniques can also be employed to support clinical decision support as described in the guide to Decision Support with SNOMED CT.

The table below shows a summary of the terminology services required to support reporting and analytics.
