A subset of the SNOMED clinical terminology specifically for health encounters in general practice has been released, along with a map from the subset to the International Classification of Primary Care, Version 2 (ICPC-2).
The International Health Terminology Standards Development Organisation (IHTSDO), which is responsible for SNOMED CT, and the World Organisation of Family Doctors (Wonca), which develops and maintains ICPC-2, have jointly developed the general practitioner/family physician (GP/FP) subset, which includes concepts that represent the terms commonly used by GPs to describe reasons for encounter or health issues (problems).
