New attributes that are added to the SNOMED CT concept model (or to a SNOMED CT extension) may require their value to be concrete. Concrete values include integers (e.g. 500), decimals (e.g. 2.75) and , strings (e.g. "PANADOL"), and booleans (e.g. TRUE

Footnote Macro

Boolean values are not permitted in the SNOMED CT International edition.

Please note that these examples are based on a hypothetical drug concept model, and is not intended to reflect any specific drug model. Attributes for which an identifier has not been assigned have been shown with an identifier of '111115'.

. In represent a product containing precisely 500 milligram amoxicillin per oral tablet. In this case, the dose form, the active ingredient, the basis of strength substance, and the strength unit all use a concept as their value, while the strength magnitude is numerator and denominator are represented using a numeric value. The numeric value is Furthermore, the |Count of base of active ingredient| also uses a numeric value, and represents the number of substances that is the part of the ingredient that the strength of a given product is based upon. The numeric values are indicated in the expression by the preceding '#' symbol (e.g. #500).

Boolean and string-based concrete values may also be used

Footnote Macro

Boolean and string-based concrete values should be used with caution. Care must be taken to only use these in situations in which the clinical meaning cannot be adequately defined using a concept value.
