Description of Collaborative Activity: |
This activity provides support for SNOMED CT, a systematically organized computer processable collection of medical terminology covering most areas of clinical information such as diseases, findings, procedures, microorganisms, pharmaceuticals, etc. It allows a consistent way to index, store, retrieve, and aggregate clinical data across specialties and sites of care. It also helps to organize the content of medical records, reducing the variability in the way data is captured, encoded and used for clinical care of patients and research. |
