Disambiguation
Not to be confused with:
- Concept, in its more general dictionary usages, referring to an idea or to a class of real-world entities. When working with SNOMED CT, the words "idea" or "meaning" are suggested instead of this more general use of concept.
- Concept identifier. For clarity when referring to the identifier of a SNOMED CT concept, specifically refer to the "concept identifier", "concept id" or "code" rather than using the word concept.
