Diego, this is a wise thought!!!
It seems logical, but that is often in good ideas, they seem like: why
did no one ever think about this.
No clinician handles the complete medical science/SNOMED repository in
his profession. Some even use a very small sub-part, think about a
dentist, a
Dear Silje,
I think we agree.
In my view it is not wise to use pre-coorinated codes that include contextual
information. The reason is that the complete why, when, who and how result in
too many permutations in order to be tractable.
One must make the distinction between how data is expressed
IMO having both representations (pre and postcordinated) is not bad per se
(in fact, knowing that they are equivalent is pretty good). The main
problem is that technical people (including myself) shouldn't just dump the
entire snomed ct into a data field and call it a day. To design better and
Maybe a match-table which matches pre coordinated expressions to all
possible post coordinated expressions which have the same meaning will be
necessary.
How can you else find data-entries of a specific meaning by filtering on
SNOMED?

Thomas,
I agree with your opinions.
In summary:
Model 1- Ontological models define primitive concepts in Terminologies.
Concepts that one can expect to see in a dictionary.
Model 2- Archetypes define compound concepts using primitive concepts from
terminologies. Archetypes are models that
I read Thomas' reply with great interest, and I generally agree that with a
well thought out information model, the very detailed precoordinated
expressions are redundant. At the same time I understand Mikael's point of view
too. BUT, what I'm often met with is that because these precoordinated
