Sorry, I should have dug a bit deeper for the exact code. SNOMED CT covers non-clinical terms along with clinical ones. It covers tons and tons of 'stuff' from measurements, drugs, finding areas, diagnoses, substances, social contexts, foods, etc. The point was to create a coding system which captured more than just clinical information. SNOMED CT is used to build 'clinical statements' which are combinations of SNOMED CT-terms to help build a more in-depth patient record. Many of those terms are non-clinical, but can be used in combination with clinical-terms. Here's 'Victim of Statutory Rape': http://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/SNOMEDCT?p=classes&conceptid=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.bioontology.org%2Fontology%2FSNOMEDCT%2F17044007 http://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/SNOMEDCT?p=class... I run a company that develops a web-based medical practice management system. We use NLP techniques combined with the SNOMED CT database (and others) to extract clinical-statements from all text inputted against a medical record. Whether it's a complaint, treatment, diagnosis, or even an email to the patient. So I don't doubt for a second that there are other systems out there that do a similar thing and have auto-associated patients with various clinical and non-clinical terms.
