The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is attempting to evaluate the SNOMED CT terminology and would like to learn if there are organizations that have experience in using it for recording information related to either adverse events or clinical trials associated with medical products. If so, please contact Andrea Feight via e-mail feighta@cder.fda.gov or telephone (301-827-3240). In the absence of actual use, if organizations are planning to begin such use or to initiate their own evaluations of the terminology in real-use settings, please contact her to discuss the possibility of collaboration.

[Editor's Note: For details on SNOMED, please refer to the article in Scribe Fall 2003]
