International Council of Nurses and SNOMED sign ground-breaking agreement to secure a bright future for the International Classification for Nursing Practice GlobeNewswire August 11, 2020 London, United Kingdom and Geneva, Switzerland, Aug. 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SNOMED International and the International Council of Nurses (ICN) have joined forces in an agreement that will pave the way for the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP) to be managed, produced, released and distributed by SNOMED International. This agreement, which is the culmination of years of collaboration between the two organisations, will see ICN retain ownership of ICNP and continue to define its content so that it meets the needs of the global nursing profession. The agreement aligns with increasing global health digitisation, the widespread use of SNOMED CT-enabled electronic health records (EHR), and the documentation of ICNP-specific content by nurses around the world.
