16,101 clinical terms

snomed percentagesnomed_pct

Proportional or ratio value expressed as a percentage and associated with a SNOMED CT coded clinical observation or measurement. Used in clinical data systems to represent quantitative findings such as body fat percentage, stenosis severity, or test positivity rates tied to standardized terminology concepts.

snomed periodsnomed_prd

Duration or time interval associated with a SNOMED CT coded clinical concept, such as the length of a condition episode, treatment course, or observation window. Used in clinical data systems to define temporal boundaries for diagnoses, procedures, and findings documented with standardized terminology codes.

snomed phonesnomed_ph

Telephone contact number linked to an entity associated with a SNOMED CT terminology record, such as a reporting facility or clinical site. Used in clinical data administration and terminology management workflows to support communication and follow-up related to coded clinical concept records.

snomed plansnomed_pln

Documented clinical treatment or care plan associated with a SNOMED CT coded condition or finding. Captures the intended course of action for managing a patient diagnosis or symptom, supporting care coordination and clinical decision-making within EHR and care management platforms.

snomed policy numbersnomed_pol_nbr

Insurance policy identifier linked to a clinical encounter or service coded with a SNOMED CT concept. Used to associate standardized clinical terminology records with corresponding coverage information in claims and member data systems, supporting billing, authorization, and reimbursement workflows.

snomed preferred namesnomed_pref_nm

Officially designated display term for a SNOMED CT concept, selected from available synonyms as the standard label for clinical documentation and interface display. Used in EHR systems and clinical data warehouses to ensure consistent, unambiguous representation of clinical findings, disorders, and procedures.

snomed pricesnomed_prc

Monetary cost assigned to a clinical service, procedure, or item associated with a SNOMED CT coded concept. Used in healthcare financial and billing systems to capture list or contracted pricing for terminology-coded clinical encounters, supporting charge capture, cost analysis, and revenue cycle management.

snomed primary indicatorsnomed_prim_ind

Flag designating whether a SNOMED CT concept represents the primary clinical finding, diagnosis, or procedure within a given encounter or record. Used in clinical data systems to differentiate principal coded conditions from secondary or comorbid entries, supporting accurate reporting and clinical decision support workflows.

snomed prioritysnomed_prty

Ranking or urgency level assigned to a SNOMED CT coded clinical finding, condition, or task within a care workflow. Used in EHR and care management systems to sequence clinical actions, triage patient needs, and ensure appropriate resource allocation based on the severity or importance of coded clinical concepts.

snomed procedure datesnomed_proc_dt

Date on which a clinical procedure or intervention represented by a SNOMED CT concept was performed. Captured in EHR and claims systems to establish procedure timing for surgical, diagnostic, and therapeutic services, supporting care sequencing, outcomes measurement, and claims adjudication workflows.

snomed pulsesnomed_pulse

Heart rate measurement recorded as a vital sign observation and coded using a SNOMED CT concept. Expressed in beats per minute, this value is captured in clinical flowsheets, inpatient monitoring records, and outpatient encounter documentation to support cardiovascular assessment and ongoing patient monitoring.

snomed quantitysnomed_qty

The numeric count or volume associated with a SNOMED CT clinical concept, such as the number of units of a substance, specimen volume, or dose quantity. Used in clinical documentation to quantify findings, procedures, or medications mapped to standardized SNOMED terminology.

snomed racesnomed_race

The patient racial or ethnic classification encoded using SNOMED CT terminology, enabling standardized representation of demographic data across clinical systems. Supports population health analytics, disparity reporting, and regulatory compliance where race data must align with recognized clinical coding standards.

snomed rangesnomed_rng

The defined minimum and maximum value boundaries associated with a SNOMED CT clinical concept, such as normal reference intervals for a lab observation or vital sign. Used in clinical decision support and result interpretation to flag values outside expected parameters for a given finding.

snomed ratesnomed_rt

The frequency or speed measurement associated with a SNOMED CT clinical concept, such as heart rate, infusion rate, or respiratory rate. Captures quantitative clinical data expressed as a value per unit of time, linked to standardized SNOMED concepts for interoperability across clinical systems.

snomed ratingsnomed_rtg

A scored or scaled assessment value linked to a SNOMED CT clinical concept, such as pain severity, functional status, or disease activity scores. Used in clinical documentation to capture structured evaluations that correspond to recognized SNOMED-coded assessment instruments or severity classifications.

snomed ratiosnomed_ratio

A proportional relationship between two clinical values encoded using SNOMED CT terminology, such as a drug concentration ratio or clinical index. Used in laboratory and diagnostic reporting to express comparative measurements that require standardized coding for cross-system data exchange and clinical analytics.

snomed reasonsnomed_rsn

The clinical justification or rationale associated with a SNOMED CT-coded event, such as the reason for a medication order, procedure, or care plan action. Enables structured documentation of clinical intent using standardized terminology, supporting auditing, quality measurement, and clinical decision support.

snomed received datesnomed_rcvd_dt

The calendar date on which a SNOMED CT-coded clinical item, such as a specimen, referral, or clinical document, was received into the system or facility. Used in clinical workflows to track intake timing, calculate processing intervals, and support longitudinal care coordination documentation.

snomed referencesnomed_ref

An external identifier or pointer linking a clinical record to a SNOMED CT concept, enabling cross-referencing between local clinical data and the standardized SNOMED terminology hierarchy. Supports semantic interoperability, data mapping, and integration across EHR systems and clinical data repositories.
