A clinician wishes to specify more completely the location of a wound using a modifier or qualifier.
Anatomic Location Modifier Refset
This Refset is an all inclusive list of spatial and laterality modifier terms from the qualifier value branch of SNOMED to be used in conjunction with Anatomic location terms for the purpose of describing the location of conditions such as wounds.
The foundation for this refset is the VSAC Anatomic Modifier refset (2.16.840.1.113883.3.2074.1.1.24) that includes standard terms needed for FDA and CDISC. Additional values were added to support the current wound project.
This Refset should not include Anatomic locations, rather it should be used in conjunction with Anatomic location terms.
Zero or one
Based on developer and user feedback, this Refset may need to be split into two refsets. One to represent spatial modifiers and another one to represent laterality modifiers.
