Click on Local Extensions/United States.
In the database browser, search for a disorder, organism,
procedure, or substance (e.g., naegleria > (disorder) > infection caused
by naegleria).
Discuss the following:
What was your search item? (1–2 sentences)
How many search results did you get?
What is the purpose of SNOMED CT?
Write all the structures of your search item (e.g.,
“infection caused by naegleria”). It may be easier to use Microsoft Word or
PowerPoint to draw this structure.
Compose a one-page paper in APA format, citing a minimum of
one scholarly resource.
Examples of scholarly sources include professional journal
articles and books obtained from library databases, national guidelines, and
informatics organizations, published within the last five years. A title page
is not necessary, but you do need to include a reference page.
