Clinical terms project: a coding system for clinicians.
Advances in information management and technology are necessary for improved communication, research and resource management in the health service. The medical profession must be closely involved in the development of a computer-based communications network if it is to be clinically useful and acceptable. The Read codes have been developed by clinicians and form the basis of an entire clinical information system.
