The process of postcoordination involves combining SNOMED CT® concepts, in accordance with the rules of the concept model, to form a new composite clinical meaning. This enables clinical systems to represent millions of new clinical meanings, in a computable form that can subsequently be classified and queried. This chapter explains the basics of postcoordination, including when to use it and how to do so safely.
