MEDCIN, a system of standardized medical terminology, is a proprietary medical vocabulary and was developed by (Medicomp Systems, Inc. ) MEDCIN is a point-of-care terminology, intended for use in Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.medicomp.com )〕 and it includes over 280,000 clinical data elements encompassing symptoms, history, physical examination, tests, diagnoses and therapy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/sourcereleasedocs/current/MEDCIN/ )〕 This clinical vocabulary contains over 26 years of research and development as well as the capability to cross map to leading codification systems such as SNOMED CT, CPT, ICD-9-CM/ICD-10-CM, DSM, LOINC, CDT and the Clinical Care Classification (CCC) System for nursing and allied health.〔 The MEDCIN coding system is touted especially for point-of-care documentation and architecture. Several Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems embed MEDCIN, which allows them to produce structured and numerically codified patient charts. Such structuring enables the aggregation, analysis, and mining of clinical and practice management data related to a disease, a patient or a population. ==History== MEDCIN was initially developed by Peter S. Goltra, founder of Medicomp Systems “as an intelligent clinical database for documentation at the time of care." The first few years of the development were spent in designing the structure of a knowledge engine that would enable the population of relationships between clinical events. Since 1978, the MEDCIN database engine has been continuously refined and expanded to include concepts from clinical histories, test, physical examination, therapies and diagnoses to enable coding of complete patient encounters with the collaboration of physicians and teaching institutions such as Cornell, Harvard, and Johns Hopkins. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MEDCIN」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
