SCIENTIFIC MODELS
This page is designed to enumerate and summarize major theoretical and clinical models related to [CONCEPT]. The purpose of this page is to:
- Distinguish between what is known to be true about a concept based on current best scientific evidence and what remains an empirical question
- Distinguish between how a concept is conceived in the scientific domain and how it is conceived in the clinical domain (e.g., in the scientific domain there is lack of consensus about whether "quality" of emotion (i.e., sad, happy, angry, shocked, surprised, disgusted, etc.) and how it relates to other attributes. However, in the clinical domain the quality of emotion is one of the most frequently recorded finding related to emotion.
- Because SNOMED is a clinical terminology, the clinical perspective trumps the scientific
- Because SNOMED is a clinical terminology, the clinical perspective trumps the scientific
CONSTRUCT SUMMARY
Use this section to summarize major differences in the way the concept (construct) is defined across healthcare disciplines, theoretical groups, and regions. Focus on implications of these differences for modeling the concept in SNOMED.
Concepts relevant to the target concept to be used in claims matrix)
| concept | description | example |
|---|---|---|
| specific symptom, illness | the specific sign, symptom or illness being experiences or claimed | seizure, limp, headache, stomach pain, high blood pressure |

| person in whom symptom or illness resides | the person phenomenologically experiencing the specific sign, symptom or illness or in whom the specific sign, symptom or illness is being claimed to exist | self or other (factitious disorder imposed on another) |
