Description

Scope

Currently the AMT resides as a stand-alone terminology based on the hierarchal structure of SNOMED CT. The AMT will be integrated into SNOMED CT-AU (Australian extension) where appropriate (substances, medicinal entity, non proprietary medicinal product).

How SNOMED CT will be used

SNOMED CT has been selected in Australia as the national clinical terminology.
