Can anyone give me some guidance on how to find SNOMED codes for my family history form? GE suggested we get licenses from NIH, which we did, but I don't see where I can look up a SNOMED code there. Also, does anyone know how to tie the SNOMED codes into VFE forms so that we can use our current forms? I have a form that currently collects the information as disease and then member of the family instead of family member and disease. It appears we are using the same obs terms, so I would like to try to keep the same form.
Any help or guidance is appreciated!
This is the site I use:

Ignore the ones with a UK flag, they have extended codes.
As for tying them within the form, you have to use the new MEL functions that GE created for this.
Family History:
MEL_RELATIVES_FHX — In the Family History form, this returns a list of all patient family members. Includes the following information: FHXRelID, Relation, Degree, Description, Code, Code Type, and Gender where relevant.
MEL_LIST_FHX — Returns a list of all signed FHx records for a patient.
MEL_LIST_FHX _AFTER — Returns a patient's family history (FHX) data; this includes both signed and unsigned information.
MEL_LIST_FHX_NEW — Returns a list of all patient family history information updated during the current chart update.
MEL_ADD_FHX — Adds a new family health condition to a patient's chart.
MEL_UPDATE_FHX — Allows users to edit an existing family health condition for a patient's family member.
MEL_REMOVE_FHX — Allows users to remove an existing family health condition for a patient's family member.
Thanks!
