Talk:SNOMED CT

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article has a lot of linkspam, but at the same time, a lot of these links provide references, so we can't just delete them all...This article needs a lot of work. I'll just tag it for now with the relevant templates. S Sepp 21:12, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] British spelling

The article should adopt the Wikipedia convention of American spelling, e.g don't use "organised," rather "organiZed." It makes for an unpleasant reading experience. Furthermore, British spellings are not recognized by most on-line dictionaries.

[edit] SNOMED CT usage

SNOMED CT is a reference terminology and cannot be used directly for generating health statistics and general research. SNOMED requires mapping to other classification systems before data can be used by researchers. Classification provides a method of distributing coded concepts in a sorted and meaningful manner. tygrus (talk) 04:27, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Implantation and use of SNOMED by doctors and other health professionals is hampered by the size and complexity of SNOMED. Attempts to simplify data input risk limiting its capability and compatibility of multiple data sources ie. loss of data quality. tygrus (talk) 04:27, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
