## SNOMED CT expression constraint template

A SNOMED CT expression constraint containing template slots that can be populated by specific values when in use.

#### Notes

* An *expression constraint template* is particularly useful when non-technical users need to create structured constraints or queries. A technically competent designer creates the template and users enter values in the template slots. A form-driven query tool may also be used to create structured constraints or queries.
