Overview:This page
discusses SNOMED observable entities related to perception of stimuli obtained via the following ("special sensory") modalitiesThe purpose of this page is to track CRG priorities and work related to review and clean up of the observable entity hierarchy as it related to the following kinds of perception:
- visual perception (seeing)
- auditory perception (hearing)
- gustatory perception (tasting)
- olfactory perception (smelling)
- tactile perception (touching)
Activities To Date:
Uma Vaidyanathan led the review of sensory and perception concepts in the |Observable entity (observable entity) | hierarchy, including review of the gold standard textbook written on Sensation and Perception (add link here). Piper Allyn Ranallo reviewed and harmonized the definitions of concepts in the UMLS (add link here, add artifacts below). The team created graphics depicting current and proposed concepts for perception, sensation, and integrated sensory perception (add links for graphics here).
Immediate Next Steps (in process)
- The CRG is working with Daniel Karlsson to understand what changes are required in the the observable entity hierarchy
- Requesting editorial guidance around modeling functions, processes and states in the observable entity hierarchy
- The CRG is working to understand the distinction between processes modeled in the | Process (qualifier value)| and |Process (observable entity)| hierarchies
