KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 17 -- SNOMED International recently presented its Award for Excellence and Lifetime Achievement Award at its Awards Gala held in conjunction with the SNOMED CT Expo 2019 hosted here last October.
According to a statement, award recipients are nominated from among the community to recognise exceptional contributors to the evolution and ongoing guardianship of SNOMED CT.
The Award for Excellence is given for outstanding contribution to the improvement of SNOMED CT and its successful implementation in health and social care. Last year, the award was presented to Dr Mark Jurkovich.
Jurkovich’s commitment to SNOMED CT’s Dentistry Clinical Reference Group and its Special Interest Group predecessor, has made it among the most productive and successful of its kind.
The organisation was also pleased to present the Lifetime Achievement Award to Dr Stewart Jessamine and Lies van Gennip, PhD.
The late Jessamine’s passion for the global implementation and adoption of SNOMED CT was unparalleled, lending his time to progress the development and evolution of the company’s vision and mission, having served as Chair of the General Assembly on two separate occasions.
Meanwhile, van Gennip has made a significant and sustained contribution to the community of practice and ongoing development of SNOMED CT. Throughout her career, she has focused on promoting initiatives improving population and patient health at national level in the Netherlands.
SNOMED International is a not-for-profit organisation charged with setting global standards for health terminology, a critical element of safe and effective healthcare. More details at http://www.snomed.org.
