STUDY MATERIAL
●● controlled medical terminiology
Answer: a structured, formal vocabulary used in healthcare to ensure
clear and consistent communication and data.
●● International Health Terminology Development Organization
(IHTSDO)
Answer: a not-for-profit organization that develops and maintains the
SNOMED CT standard; the primary purpose is support the safe,
accurate, and effective of exchange of health information by owning,
administering, and developing SNOMED CT.
●● General purpose of SNOMED CT
Answer: to provide a consistent way of indexing, storing, retrieving and
aggregating clinical data from structured electronic health records.
●● granularity
Answer: the level of detail or specificity to represent clinical concepts.
●● Structure of SNOMED CT
,Answer: Polyhierarchical, meaning the placement of the concept in the
hierarchy is based on the underlying medical concepts represented.
●● root concept
Answer: in SNOMED CT, the root concept is a fundamental element
representing the entire terminology itself, acting as the parent of all other
concepts
●● SNOMED CT concepts
Answer: represent clinical thoughts; representing clinical meanings that
are organized into hierarchies; every concepts has a unique concept
identifier
●● SNOMED Descriptions
Answer: link appropriate human readable terms to concepts; a concept
can have several descriptions, each representing a synonym that
describes the same clinical concept
●● SNOMED Relationships
Answer: link concepts whose meaning is related in some way; provide
formal definitions and other properties of the concept
●● SNOMED CT reference sets (Refsets)
,Answer: a flexible standard approach used by SNOMED CT to support a
variety of requirements for customizations and enhancement of
SNOMED CT.
●● ___________ is when a combination identifiers are joined to convey
clinical meaning.
Answer: post-coordination
●● True or False? SNOMED CT was specifically designed to capture
and organize clinical information for use in the EHR environment.
Answer: True
●● True or False? Pre-coordinated concepts are most useful for
capturing less commonly reported clinical issues with greater detail.
Answer: FALSE
●● Because of its tremendous amount of content, SNOMED CT is a
poor choice for what function?
Answer: a. reimbursement
b. medical research
c. application in the EHR environment
d. Documentation of clinical concepts
Answer: A
, ●● The URU principle requires that all SNOMET CT concepts be:
Answer: understandable, reproducible, useful
●● What are the main SNOMED CT components?
Answer: Concepts, descriptions, and relationships
●● Which of the following is NOT a derivative work?
Answer: hierarchies
●● derivative work
Answer: a document, subset, set of maps, or other resource that includes
references to, or derived from one or more SNOMED CT concepts
●● A motor vehicle accident is an example from which SNOMED CT
hierarchy?
Answer: Event
●● True or False? Every SNOMED CT concept has at lease one
relationship to another concept.
Answer: True
●● Which of the following is NOT an example from the hierarchy
"social context"?
