Medcin Student Edition Software
Authority
MEDCIN® was created and is maintained by Medicomp Systems, Inc., a corporation specializing in the development of point-of-care tools for electronic medical records.
Purpose
MEDCIN is an electronic medical record engine designed to allow for rapid entry, retrieval and correlation of relevant clinical information at the point of care, and to enable applications to store medical information as coded data elements and produce narrative reports from the same data.
Description
The MEDCIN medical terminology encompasses symptoms, history, physical examination, tests, diagnoses, and therapies.
Many clinical hierarchies exist in MEDCIN. These have been defined by the linkage of MEDCIN data elements to describe many diagnoses in the diagnostic index. This clinical relationship approach of MEDCIN is in contrast to the word (semantic) relationship focus of reference terminologies.
MEDCIN contains more than 300,000 clinical data elements encompassing symptoms, history, physical examination, tests, diagnoses, and therapies.
Metathesaurus Scope
