Laterality

2015-10-27

  1. Restrictions on laterality be relaxed.

  2. IHTSDO should add lateralized concepts as needed and not proactively pre-coordinate every laterality.

  3. The AG unanimously recommended laterality Option 4, which is essentially the same idea as option 3 but implemented with a new attribute like “has laterality” that users add to the same role group instead of having it outside the same role group.

The decision to add a new attribute was further discussed and the addition of pre-coordinated structures using the existing "LATERALITY" attribute was approved in light of the timeframe for support of nesting.

Add pre-coordinated lateralized body structures to the terminology as needed to fully define concepts in other hierarchiesImplemented
