Analyzing data in free text format is inefficient, prone to error, and difficult. While mapping free text to coded concepts can address some of these issues, additional structure is necessary to enable non-expert end users to retrieve data from a clinical warehouse. A review of the current literature reveals that this structure is often built and maintained locally with significant effort. Alternatively, one can use external reference terminology to provide the necessary structure. This study examined whether one such reference terminology, SNOMED Clinical terms could enhance the querying of a clinical data warehouse. 000002395 540__ $$fCC BY 000002395 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002395 650__ $$aSystematized Nomenclature of Medicine$$034929 000002395 650__ $$aInformation Storage and Retrieval$$028998 000002395 650__ $$aMedical Informatics$$021938 000002395 650__ $$aData Warehousing$$012154 000002395 650__ $$aElectronic Health Records$$038928 000002395 650__ $$aVocabulary, Controlled$$031160 000002395 650__ $$aMedical Records Systems, Computerized$$029086 000002395 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000002395 692__ $$aDivision of Medical Informatics and Outcomes Research$$041423 000002395 7001_ $$aLieberman, Michael$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002395 7201_ $$aSpackman, Kent$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eCommittee chair 000002395 8564_ $$96df657ac-03ac-4473-8b18-33af1595ff6e$$s2026051$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2395/files/3129_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$275510878f2656206385b8a38f4515c92$$31 000002395 905__ $$a/rest/prod/z3/16/q1/84/z316q184z 000002395 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2395$$pstudent-work 000002395 980__ $$aBiomedical Informatics
