In particular, they consider the suitability of the medical ontology Snomed CT for enhancing a health information system developed in the OpenMRS framework. They propose ways in which Snomed CT can be linked to an OpenMRS application, based on their experience of extracting a module of Snomed CT for tuberculosis.enMedical ontologiesSNOMED CTOpenMRSHealth information systemsHealthInvestigations into the use of SNOMED CT to enhance an OpenMRS health information systemArticleHalland, K., Britz, K., & Gerber, A.
