The modeling for conditions caused by substance or product has been discussed at the joint Modeling and Editorial AG meetings. Clinical conditions, e.g. allergy, adverse reaction, poisoning, contact dermatitis, have been modeled by substances in SNOMED CT. In practice, these conditions could be reported by medicinal products in clinical records. A key question is whether a condition caused by a substance should have any hierarchical relationship to a condition caused by a product/physic

I am including a summary of last week’s call regarding the upcoming presentation to the MF to obtain support for continuing to develop the allergy/intolerance implementation guide. I underlined the key points and had one question (in red).

Hi Bruce, Do I need to register to attend the allergy CRG meeting of the 10th of April PM either online or in the flesh? Would you find a specific added value that I should make the afternoon hit-and-run trip to London for our session? Thanks for your answer. Marie-Alexandra
