Abstract

 In these days many hospitals and clinics are introducing electronic patient record systems. Because of that, it is becoming very important to construct a standard code set of disease names. There are already several code sets and in these sets huge number of disease names, almost 30 thousand, is included. In that situation if we classify disease names into any thesaurus, it is not easy to look up words. In this work we aim to construct a system where everyone concerning to medical care can make own minimal code set of disease names.
