I'm with Ian on this. The only use of post coordination is hard and requires
complex tooling support that is way beyond any value you get. I would say even
laterality & other qualifiers should go in the information model and not in the
terminology if you have the choice.
If you are instead ta
Hi, just for clarification, you have mixed are two different things:
- SNOMED CT postcoordinated expressions are structured combinations of one
or more concepts to express a clinical idea. You use them to create new
concepts not available in the SNOMED release. They are built using the
SNOMED CT C
Yes agree laterality is another potentially high value case.
They should probably talk to the CIMI folks. Stan Huff has a good an idea
as anyone of both the potential and pitfalls of complex terminology
handling. I suspect that really held CIMI back at a critical moment but at
least they have a go
I mostly agree with Ian, but with the small caveat that for very
specific and well-known cases such as body laterality, you just /might
consider/ post-coordination on body site e.g.
* 56459004 |foot structure| : 272741003 |laterality| = 7771000 |left|)
However, even here, laterality often see
Basically - don't!!
The UK has been trying to do this for over 20 years without success. It is
a terminologists dream but implementers nightmare.
Make a start with high-value use cases e.g Allergy agent "Allergic to +
causative agent" - so that you do not have to generate a new Snomed code
