On this page
A SNOMED CT concept's number, the clinical term a health system records: 22298006.
Use it for clinical terms such as procedures and findings. For a diagnosis in reporting, use Icd10Code.
Shape
One value, held as text in one set form, with no parts: 999480561000087100.
Example
SnomedConcept("22298006")SnomedConcept(raw) checks the text, and text that isn't one breaks the format rule.
text.parse(raw, as: SnomedConcept) reads one from text that comes from outside. Text that isn't one at all fails malformed, such as 22298007, 22298010 or 022298006.
Good to know
- It checks its own last digit, so a mistyped number is usually refused.
==tells you whether two are the same.<andlist.sort_bydon't take it.- A field that holds one counts as personal data (
health), so you don't mark it yourself.
In JSON
A string, in a request, a response or json.write:
"22298006""73211009""138875005"
