Abstract

This document describes the application of the syntax, semantic rules and format of the NPU terminology for coded dedicated kinds-of-property in the various subject fields of the clinical laboratory sciences. The document sums up considerations and reasoning by the C-SC-NPU and collects the experience with the system through some 8 years of application in electronic health communication. Access to the NPU terminology in English is currently at www.labterm.dk, via the English download files from the Danish Release Centre under the National Board of Health. Updates to the terminology are usually presented once a month.

Keywords: clinical laboratory; coding scheme; dedicated kind-of-property; electronic transmission; examination; measurement unit; NPU entry; property; semantic rule; syntax
