SNOMED International is undertaking a Quality Initiative (QI) project focused on addressing concepts within the hierarchy of Clinical Findings. The purpose of the QI project is to improve the structural consistency of existing content and adherence to Editorial Policy. Applying the principles of the QI project to the domain of laboratory findings gives us the opportunity to update the terminology to reflect current laboratory reporting practices and provide a consistent model for the addition of new content.
The attached briefing note documents the consensus of the EAG relating to standardization in the terming and modeling of positive and negative measurement
findings. These changes apply to approximately 150 concepts within the 118245000 |Measurement finding (finding)|hierarchy.
Improving the quality of patient care through the effective sharing of clinical information among health care organizations, clinicians and their patients.
