Language games and patient-centred eHealth.
The sharing of clinical information between ehealth systems requires a common terminology, and SNOMED CT is seen as an acceptable solution for this task. Widespread adoption of SNOMED CT may mean that other terminologies, particularly those of citizens and patients, are sidelined or ignored. This paper considers the role of a citizen's "voice" in a connected ehealth world.
