What is SNOMED CT? - CORRECT ANSWER-is a controlled medical terminology with
comprehensive coverage of diseases, clinical findings, etiologies, and procedures and
outcomes used by physicians, dentists, nurses, allied health professionals,
veterinarians, and others.
controlled medical terminiology - CORRECT ANSWER-a structured, formal vocabulary
used in healthcare to ensure clear and consistent communication and data.
International Health Terminology Development Organization (IHTSDO) - CORRECT
ANSWER-a not-for-profit organization that develops and maintains the SNOMED CT
standard; the primary purpose is support the safe, accurate, and effective of exchange
of health information by owning, administering, and developing SNOMED CT.
General purpose of SNOMED CT - CORRECT ANSWER-to provide a consistent way of
indexing, storing, retrieving and aggregating clinical data from structured electronic
health records.
granularity - CORRECT ANSWER-the level of detail or specificity to represent clinical
concepts.
Structure of SNOMED CT - CORRECT ANSWER-Polyhierarchical, meaning the
placement of the concept in the hierarchy is based on the underlying medical concepts
represented.
root concept - CORRECT ANSWER-in SNOMED CT, the root concept is a fundamental
element representing the entire terminology itself, acting as the parent of all other
concepts
SNOMED CT concepts - CORRECT ANSWER-represent clinical thoughts; representing
clinical meanings that are organized into hierarchies; every concepts has a unique
concept identifier
BRAINSCAPE1
, BRAINSCAPE1
SNOMED Descriptions - CORRECT ANSWER-link appropriate human readable terms
to concepts; a concept can have several descriptions, each representing a synonym
that describes the same clinical concept
SNOMED Relationships - CORRECT ANSWER-link concepts whose meaning is related
in some way; provide formal definitions and other properties of the concept
SNOMED CT reference sets (Refsets) - CORRECT ANSWER-a flexible standard
approach used by SNOMED CT to support a variety of requirements for customizations
and enhancement of SNOMED CT.
___________ is when a combination identifiers are joined to convey clinical meaning. -
CORRECT ANSWER-post-coordination
True or False? SNOMED CT was specifically designed to capture and organize clinical
information for use in the EHR environment. - CORRECT ANSWER-True
True or False? Pre-coordinated concepts are most useful for capturing less commonly
reported clinical issues with greater detail. - CORRECT ANSWER-FALSE
Because of its tremendous amount of content, SNOMED CT is a poor choice for what
function? - CORRECT ANSWER-a. reimbursement
b. medical research
c. application in the EHR environment
d. Documentation of clinical concepts
Answer: A
The URU principle requires that all SNOMET CT concepts be: - CORRECT ANSWER-
understandable, reproducible, useful
What are the main SNOMED CT components? - CORRECT ANSWER-Concepts,
descriptions, and relationships
Which of the following is NOT a derivative work? - CORRECT ANSWER-hierarchies
derivative work - CORRECT ANSWER-a document, subset, set of maps, or other
resource that includes references to, or derived from one or more SNOMED CT
concepts
A motor vehicle accident is an example from which SNOMED CT hierarchy? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Event
True or False? Every SNOMED CT concept has at lease one relationship to another
concept. - CORRECT ANSWER-True

Which of the following is NOT an example from the hierarchy "social context"? -
CORRECT ANSWER-gender
True or False? Content submitted for inclusion in the US extension of SNOMED CT will
likely be included if it is not currently supported by any other recognized standard
reference terminology in the US - CORRECT ANSWER-True
Which of the following is the unique text assigned to a concept in SNOMED CT that
completely describes that concept? - CORRECT ANSWER-Fully specified name
SNOMED CT is a designated standard for of the following but one. Which of the
following does NOT include SNOMED CT as a standard? - CORRECT ANSWER-a.
HIPAA transaction code sets
b. HITSP interoperability specifications
c. ONC EHR certification standards
d. US Federal Government for electronic exchange of health information
Answer: A
SNOMED CT I is a I relationships serve what purpose? - CORRECT ANSWER-to
further define the concepts
Which terminology provides a common language that enables a consistent way of
capturing, sharing, and aggregating health data across specialties and sites of care for
electronic health record (EHR) adoption? - CORRECT ANSWER-SNOMED CT
ICD-10-PCS Convention A1 - CORRECT ANSWER-ICD-10-PCS codes are composed
of seven characters. Each characters is an axis of classification that specifies
information about the procedure performed. Within a defined code range, a character
specifies the same type of information in that axis of the classification. Example: The
fifth axis of classification species the approach in sections 0 through 4 and 7 through 9
of the system.
ICD-10-PCS Convention A2 - CORRECT ANSWER-one of the 34 possible values can
be assigned to each axis of the classification in the seven-character code: they are the
numbers 0 through 9 and the alphabet (except I and O because they are easily
confused with the 1 and 0). The number of the unique values used in an axis of
classification differs as needed. Example: where the 5th axis of classification specifies
the approach, seven different approach values are currently used to specify the
approach.
ICD-10-PCS conventions A5 - CORRECT ANSWER-as the system is expanded to
become increasingly detailed, over time more values will depend on preceding values
for their meaning.
ICD-10- PCS conventions A6 - CORRECT ANSWER-the purpose of the alphabetic
index is to locate the appropriate table that contains all information necessary to
