What sort of issues are anticipated in transferring from Read Codes to SNOMED CT?
Moving to the new terminology is a vital component in a larger exercise that deals with migration of existing systems and data to new systems. However in answer to the specific question about changing from one coding system to another, no major issues are anticipated as Read Codes have a corresponding SNOMED CT code that will enable implementers to migrate coded data. Mapping information is released with the Read Codes and SNOMED CT UK Edition.
