Abstract
SNOMED CT browser is a browsing tool for searching clinical terms in SNOMED CT which is a standard terminology set used worldwide. The search result view of previous browsers merely list up candidate terminologies. The problem is that most of users become confused about how to select an appropriate term from the list. This leads serious waste of medical recoding cost. This paper discusses characteristics of SNOMED CT dataset and proposes a novel design of enhanced result view by restructuring the results using relationships of SNOMED CT concepts. Using the proposed scheme, medical doctors or officers can select appropriate terms more efficiently and can reduce overall recording time.
