Integrating a mechanism to store, retrieve and use clinical data with a system to manage medical records enables better utilisation of medical data and improved healthcare. This poster introduces a research project that aims to extend OpenMRS and OpenMRS concept dictionary by integrating SNOMED CT and related ontology technologies. It investigates beneficial outcomes of this integration, specifically aspects of methodology, enhanced functionality and reasoning.
