Substance Groupers Based on Both Structure and Disposition
Overview
Groupers based on both structure and disposition that are deemed to be clinically useful and that can be sufficiently defined will be included in the |Substance| hierarchy.
Note: This section applies to concepts representing a single structural parent and a single disposition. It does not apply concepts representing more than one structural parent or disposition.
Modeling
Stated parent concept | The stated parent concept must be the concept that represents the structural grouper. If such a concept does not exist, it must be created and its stated substance descendants added before the grouper based on both structure and disposition can be created. |
Definition status | Defined |
Attribute: Has disposition | Range: <726711005 |Disposition (disposition)
Cardinality: 1..1 |

Terming
FSN | Use the following pattern for the FSN, with X representing the structure and Y representing the disposition. The FSN should align with the FSN for the substance grouper and disposition used as the stated parent and attribute value respectively.
For example,
|
Preferred Term | Use the following pattern for the Preferred Term, with X representing the structure and Y representing the disposition. The FSN should align with the FSN for the substance grouper and disposition used as the stated parent and attribute value respectively.
For example,
