Rationale for USCRS<br />

• IHTSDO requires submissions to <strong>the</strong><br />

International release to go through <strong>the</strong><br />

member National Release Center<br />

• Existing request system being phased out<br />

• No new accounts accepted<br />

• Older users “grandfa<strong>the</strong>red – in”<br />

• Needed support for U.S. users who need to<br />

add content to <strong>SNOMED</strong> <strong>CT</strong><br />

• Support users who need content <strong>with</strong> stable<br />

(maintained) identifiers before next release<br />

• Must support functions defined by IHTSDO<br />

• Triage and handling by NLM
