title: Methods for testing SNOMED CT in a defined clinical domain.
abstract: This paper presents the results of a study in which SNOMED CT has been tested in clinical practice by combining quantitative and qualitative methods. An application has been developed for registration of vascular diseases and procedures using SNOMED CT concepts. We conclude that it requires clinical and technical insight to adapt the terminology to a defined clinical domain.
