SNOMED CT has an enormous number of clinical concepts and mapping to SNOMED CT is considered as the foundation to achieve semantic interoperability in healthcare. Manual mapping is time-consuming and error-prone thus making this crucial step challenging. Terminology Servers provide an interface, which can be used to automate the process of retrieving data. Snowstorm is a terminology server developed by SNOMED International. In this work, the feasibility of using Snowstorm to automate the data retrieval and mapping has been discussed.
