Topic: Read Code to Snomed Code Mapping

I am mapping some data into FHIR.
The producer EHR I am using uses READ CODE, where as the consumer system on the other end only uses SNOMED CT. I was wondering if there is a programmatic way to map between these. I am using HAPI FHIR.

In the UK the NHS produces Read to SNOMED mapping tables. We have loaded this information into a database table and then implemented a simple API that takes a READ code and returns the equivalent SNOMED code.

This could also be exposed in FHIR using ConceptMap - don't know if anyone has done any work on that, though.

My server implements NZ Read to SNOMED CT mapping (in both directions) via the FHIR ConceptMap $translate operation.

Ontoserver exposes the SNOMED to READ map as an implicit ConceptMap (in the same style as the historical association maps described at http://hl7.org/fhir/snomedct.html#implicit-cm
