| 3 | 'Drug' v 'Medication' | 5 min | Alejandro | https://forums.snomed.org/t/draft-briefing-note-regarding-the-use-of-the-word-drug/1364/5 A recent decision to use 'medication', if that is the true intent of the concept, in lieu of 'drug or medicament' in concepts going forward due to the ambiguity of the word 'drug'. So, if requests are submitted with the old terminology, descriptions will require clarification to change to the new, unambiguous wording. Legacy concepts and other issues with the drug term will continue to be reviewed as resources allow. |
