Evaluation of the CAP microcomputer-based SNOMED encoding system.
The microcomputer-based SNOMED encoding system, recently announced by the CAP, has been evaluated in a setting designed to emulate the typical surgical pathology environment. Key features such as minimization of manual entry, ease of use, data integrity, and convenient retrieval capabilities were examined. The system was found to perform satisfactorily in all such features.
