In our national summary record, we are using concepts like fish, milk, egg etc to document past reactions to etc, i.e. the allergen as a separate information element. Our plan is to map this to SNOMED CT (partially done already) or use SNOMED CT as the base terminology. In that context, we won't use the precoordinated concepts. The national work on archetypes do not use the precoordinated concept. I will check whether the precoordinated concepts are used in other contexts. Update will follow.
