IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE GPS
As a whole, the GPS is not a clinically curated list
The GPS does not include SNOMED CT relationships, attributes,
hierarchies and historical versioning that are fundamental to the nature
of the ontology and its ability to enable clinical data analytics, decision
support, etc. The complete set of concept synonyms and definitions are
not part of the GPS.
DISCLAIMER: All persons and events depicted throughout the GPS scenarios are fictional. Any
resemblance to actual persons or events is coincidental.
