Situation with Explicit Context Naming Conventions

For information on precoordinated naming patterns that have been reviewed or are currently in review, see Pre-coordination Naming Patterns project. Unreviewed patterns for the Situation with explicit context hierarchy can be found here. New content should conform with the naming patterns; however, legacy content may not.

• For example,

  • Acceptable naming pattern

    • FSN: declined (situation)

    • PT: declined

    • SYN: refused (This is optional).

      • 736013005 |Body weight measurement declined (situation)|

The following naming patterns are no longer accepted for addition to the International Edition:

• Procedure offered

• Procedure not offered

• Procedure done

• Procedure not done

Note that 385658003 |Done (qualifier value)| (a descendent of 410523001 |Post-starting action status (qualifier value)|) remains in use as the target value of the 408730004 |Procedure context (attribute)| in History of concepts.

Not every naming pattern is found in the Pre-coordination Naming Pattern project. Some naming patterns can be prescribed in Templates. Others can come from trackers or fast track documents, such as the examples below.

716186003 |No known allergy (situation)|

• FSN: No known allergy (situation)

• PT: No known allergy

• SYN: NKA - No known allergy

428197003 |No known insect allergy (situation)|

• FSN: No known insect allergy (situation)

• PT: No known insect allergy

History of finding or disorder occurring in past pregnancy

For concepts relating to a history of a finding, disorder, procedure, or event occurring in a past pregnancy of the subject of the record, use an FSN and PT of |Past pregnancy history of X (situation)|. These concepts are subtypes of 271903000 |History of pregnancy (situation)|.

• For example,

  • 161804005 |Past pregnancy history of antepartum hemorrhage (situation)| is a subtype of 271903000 |History of pregnancy (situation)|

For content relating to family history, this must be specified in both the FSN and preferred term to distinguish between past pregnancy of the subject of the medical record.

• For example,

  • |Past pregnancy history of neonatal death (situation)| versus |Family history of neonatal death (situation)|
