Procedure specification

SNOMED Groups NPU Project
1

When a specific procedure is represented as a kind-of-property specification (see example below) it is represented in SNOMED CT using 246501002 |Technique (attribute)|.

NPU04998 P—Creatininium; subst.c.(enz.) = ? µmol/L

| Observable entity |:
| inheres in | = 50863008 |Plasma (substance)|,
| component | = 15373003 |Creatinine (substance)|,
| property | = 118556004 |Substance concentration (property) (qualifier value)|,
| technique | = 258026004 |Enzyme method (qualifier value)|

Correct?

It is more a measurement principle than a measurement procedure that is stated in the code. Is this distinction possible to reflect in Snomed CT?

Wording of FSN should be “Substance concentration of creatinine in plasma in umol/L using enzyme method”
