1 year ago I applied for and received a UMLS license to access a SNOMED to ICD-10 crosswalk. Here's the info I received:
Dear Riley Kwong,
Thank you for your interest in licensing terminology data from the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM). Your UMLS license request has been approved. Your UTS account gives you access to the following resources:
Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) The UMLS integrates and distributes key terminology, classification and coding standards, and associated resources to promote creation of more effective and interoperable biomedical information systems and services, including electronic health records.
- Download the latest UMLS release
- Search and browse the UMLS Metathesaurus
- Use the UMLS API
- Use natural language processing tools like MetaMap that rely on the UMLS for identifying meaning in text
- Visit the UMLS Homepage for access to all UMLS resources and documentation
Value Set Authority Center (VSAC) The VSAC is a repository and authoring tool for public value sets created by external programs. Value sets are lists of codes and corresponding terms, from NLM-hosted standard clinical vocabularies (such as SNOMED CT, RxNorm, LOINC and others), that define clinical concepts to support effective and interoperable health information exchange.
- Download eCQM, C-CDA and other value sets
- Search and browse the Value Set Authority Center
- Use the VSAC SVS and FHIR API Resources
- Visit the VSAC Homepage for access to all VSAC resources and documentation
RxNorm RxNorm provides normalized names for clinical drugs and links its names to many of the drug vocabularies commonly used in pharmacy management and drug interaction software, including those of First Databank, Micromedex, Gold Standard Drug Database, and Multum. By providing links between these vocabularies, RxNorm can mediate messages between systems not using the same software and vocabulary.
- Download RxNorm weekly and monthly updates
- Search and browse RxNorm
- Use the RxNorm API
- Visit the RxNorm Homepage for access to all RxNorm resources and documentation
SNOMED CT U.S. Edition of SNOMED CT is one of a suite of designated standards for use in U.S. Federal Government systems for the electronic exchange of clinical health information and is also a required standard in interoperability specifications of the U.S. Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel. The clinical terminology is owned and maintained by SNOMED International, a not-for-profit association.
- Download the U.S. Edition of SNOMED CT, including the SNOMED CT to ICD-10-CM Map
- Download the International Edition of SNOMED CT, Spanish Edition, and other International derivatives
- Visit the NLM SNOMED CT Homepage for access to SNOMED CT resources, documentation, and additional license information
NIH Common Data Elements (CDE) Repository The NIH Common Data Elements (CDE) Repository has been designed to provide access to structured human and machine-readable definitions of data elements that have been recommended or required by NIH Institutes and Centers and other organizations for use in research and for other purposes. Your UTS license allows you to:
- Create, edit, and comment on CDEs and forms
- Save CDEs and forms to boards
- Obtain additional privileges in an administrator role
Questions? Write to the NLM Help Desk.
