VISTA uses SNOMED in the Lab module (includes pathology). At the Heart
Institute Berlin we bougth the more recent version of SNOMED from CAP and
updated the VISTA module. Other modules in VISTA use the ICD classification.
In Berlin we added the specific versions of ICD and ICPM required by german
regulations to our VISTA system.
