Description
Summary:This document describes the application of the syntax, semantic rules, and format of the Nomenclature for Properties and Units (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 Committee and Subcommittee on Nomenclature for Properties and Units (C-SC-NPU) and collects the experience with the system through some eight 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.
