SNOMED CT Templates

SNOMED CT Templates enable users to create concepts easily using pre-determined templates.

When new clinical content is to be authored there can be a large degree of similarity between the resulting SNOMED CT concepts. To reduce author effort and to ensure the consistency and quality of newly authored concepts, similarities can be captured as formal definitions, i.e. templates.
