Jeffrey -
Our clinical data repository project is using SNOMED, ICD9 and RxNorm.
While at first blush these all look great, we've found that they all
have warts. Nonetheless, there's nothing better out there. MULTUM is
certainly well regarded for drugs. I think RxNorm has better semantic
relationships. I don't think anyone will say you've made a mistake by
going with MULTUM.
We put on seminars that are available online at:

We are in the midst of implementing a CPOE project, and during some
discussions with other folks on the project, the subject of "What are
other health institutions out there using for the medical
terminology/nomenclature?". The project we are implementing uses MULTUM
(packaged by the vendor), and we also are potentially using SNOMED, and
will be using the UMLS to correlate them all. Does this sound standard?
What are other medical IT groups using for nomenclature?
Thanx for your input!
