AbstractA concept-based reference terminology that covers all aspects of healthcare is essential in developing the Electronic Health Record (EHR). SNOMED Clinical Terms (CT), scheduled for release in December 2001, integrates the relative strengths of SNOMED RT, and the United Kingdom s Clinical Terms Version 3, formerly known as the Read Codes Version 3. It promises to be the most comprehensive terminology available. Since a significant portion of the EHR can be drug-related information, we describe here some of the background information and rationale for the structure and scope of the merged drug hierarchy within SNOMED CT. A controlled drug terminology within a reference terminology has the potential to support a number of functions within healthcare practice. One of the functions proposed is to serve as the bridge between reference terminology and drug knowledge bases.
