Upcoming Changes to the US SNOMED CT Content Request System

Upcoming Changes to the US SNOMED CT Content Request System. NLM Tech Bull. 2017 Sep-Oct;(418):b7.

2017 September 20 [posted]

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is pleased to announce a replacement application for the United States SNOMED CT Content Request System (USCRS). The timeline for the launch of the new application is:


  • Week of September 19 - An updated USCRS main page and documentation for the new USCRS application will be available.
  • Mid-October - The USCRS application will be shut down for data migration and system overhaul. At this time we regret that users will be unable to login or complete requests for changes on the USCRS.
  • Mid- to late October - USCRS users will be sent additional details including a new login and the new application URL.
  • Final week of October - We anticipate that the new request system will be in place during the final week of October.

Please note that the new application will have a new URL, login, and interface.

Details for a Webinar that will demonstrate submissions for the new request system will be announced in late October.

The new content request system will be similar to the SNOMED International Content Request System (CRS) but will have a different URL and some slight interface differences. You can use the current CRS User Guide to become familiar with the application. Documentation specific to the new content request system will be provided once the system is live.

If you have any questions, please contact us via NLM Customer Support.
