Rationale: Terminologies are used two different ways within EHR systems— first, as a reference terminology and second, as a point-of-care terminology. A reference terminology consists of a set of concepts with definitional relationships. A point-of-care terminology, frequently referred to as an interface terminology, is what the clinicians see on the screen and consists of terms with which clinicians are familiar.
