Are Today’s LLMs Ready to Take Over SNOMED Coding?

Introduction: High-quality semantic mapping to standardized medical terminologies like SNOMED is critical for interoperability and secondary use of health data. Traditionally, this task is performed manually by experienced coders. However, the recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have sparked [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
