In this series of posts I am assessing SNOMED CT® using the international browser.
There is a section in the SNOMED CT® terminology on substances. This encompasses a wide variety of substances including biological and chemical substances as well as physical states of substances.
This is a heterogenous group. There are various ways the described substances are relevant to the clinical history ranging from environmental exposure to ingestion. These are the building blocks for developing a standardised clinical language.
