substancecode

Description

This subset contains concepts that represent general substances, the chemical constituents of pharmaceutical/biological products, body substances, dietary substances and diagnostic substances. This is a broad data exchange subset that is intended to support semantic interoperability and conformance testing. It is recommended that jurisdictions define and implement more specific clinically curated subsets that contain a portion of these concepts for data capture at the point of care for their specific use case. This subset was defined using the intensional definition of <105590001|Substance (substance)| against the substrate SNOMED CT Canadian Edition. This resource is an informative value set; a normative subset containing the expanded values can be found on Canada Health Infoway's Terminology Server.
