SNOMED CT is a controlled medical terminology which has been licensed by the National Library of Medicine and recommended as the general terminology of choice by the National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics for the development of the electronic medical record. Osteopathic terminology is unique to Osteopathic practitioners and must be included in any terminology if the terminology is to meet the needs of the Osteopathic community. The Authorized Osteopathic Thesaurus was used as a resource and compared with the content of SNOMED CT. It was found that a large number of concepts which were of importance in documenting Osteopathic encounters were not included in SNOMED CT. The decision was made to integrate this content into SNOMED CT.
SNOMED CT是一种受控医学术语，已获美国国立医学图书馆许可，并被国家生命与健康统计委员会推荐为电子病历开发的首选通用术语。整骨疗法术语是整骨疗法从业者所特有的，如果要满足整骨疗法界的需求，任何术语都必须包含该术语。《授权整骨疗法词库》被用作参考资料，并与SNOMED CT的内容进行了比较。结果发现，SNOMED CT中未包含大量在记录整骨疗法诊疗过程中很重要的概念。于是决定将这些内容整合到SNOMED CT中。
