"Grouper" Intended site concepts
Cutaneous/Transdermal and Intravesical/Urethral are concepts whose roots are in the history of Standard Terms, where they were used as search terms in (paper) documents. Now, they are being used as descriptive (even definitional) attributes for the pharmaceutical dose form concept and therefore using more granular/individual concepts would be appropriate. The Standard Terms Working Group is informed about mapping initiatives such as this one with SNOMED CT and is open to discussing changes to the Standard Terms that would be of benefit to this, and to other similar initiatives.
From the perspective of this mapping, having the ST change to use individual intended sites in PDFs rather than than the dual grouper concepts would be beneficial and we would support that change.
