*Using SNOMED CT with FHIR
https://confluence.ihtsdotools.org/display/FHIR/4.2.1.0+Using+SNOMED+CT+...
SNOMED CT® can be thought of as a dictionary, specifying exactly what medical concepts mean. It does not, however, tell you how to assemble those concepts within a medical record in a way that can be transmitted to another system and understood.
An information model is required to achieve this; a standard for how records and messages should be laid out and populated. This role is being played globally by HL7® FHIR®.
By combining these two world leading standards, systems using SNOMED CT and FHIR together* are able to communicate clear and unambiguous meaning in a standard way that can be automatically understood worldwide.

*FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources)*
It is important that healthcare information can be shared quickly. This makes sure that the right information is available about each patient, so that providers can make the right decisions. Data sharing goes across
organisations, and now includes mobile and cloud-based applications.
FHIR are part of an international family of standards developed by Health Level-7 UK <https://lists.hl7.org.uk/> (HL7). The information models and APIs developed using this standard provide a means of sharing health and care information between providers and their systems no matter what setting care is delivered in.
Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) is the global industry standard for passing healthcare data between systems. It is free, open, and designed to be quick to learn and implement.
