the issue of medical errors is currently a global concern which places a heavy financial and emotional burden on communities. a clinical decision support system (cdss) is an electronic system designed to support clinical decision making. considering the increasing importance and use of systematized nomenclature of medicine-clinical terms (snomed-ct), we developed snomed-ct to implement it more ...

Matching clinical data to codes in controlled terminologies is the first step towards achieving standardisation of data for safe and accurate data interoperability. The MoST automated system was used to generate a list of candidate SNOMED CT code mappings. The paper discusses the semantic issues which arose when generating lexical and semantic matches of terms from the archetype model to releva...

Relationship groups are a construct which is particular for the representation of concepts in SNOMED CT. In this paper, the July 2008 version of SNOMED CT is analyzed to determine the usage of relationship groups. Relationship groups are used with 36 out of 65 relations, playing a role in 28% of all concepts. Relationship groups are used in the concept types: "procedure" (including "regime/ther...
