Characteristics of ATIC terminology
|
Concept-oriented standardized vocabulary |
It includes codes, terms, meanings and assertion knowledge to represent the nursing care provision process and its results, being useful for healthcare practice, semantic harmonization and data processing in electronic medical record information systems. |
|
Interface |
Concept system based on natural language, revised for its theoretical refinement and its scientific foundation. Represented in plain language, which uses common clinical expressions of healthcare practice, and optimized for use in information systems. It acts as a bridge between natural language and the need for code in information systems. |
|
Multi-axial |
It is structured in 3 main axes and 10 secondary axes. Main axes:
Secondary axes:
|
|
High specificity |
The axes are structured in a matrix way in three levels of abstraction:
1st level_Structuring elements (groupers)
2nd level_Basic elements (main axes)
3rd level_Molecular and atomic elements
In practice, the molecular and atomic elements of the secondary axes are used to increase the level of specificity of the basic elements.
In the construction and updating of the terminology system, the molecular and atomic elements are used for the conceptual dissection, in compliance with the recommendation of the ISO standard 18104:2014). |

Validated |
Submitted to a formal validation process of its properties, using qualitative and clinical-epidemiological research methodology (metric):
