Kent Spackman made a presentation on how SNOMED should be used to
represent complex clinical statements, using a design pattern approach\.
This idea is clearly important in our thinking in openEHR on how to
connect the information models \(archetypes\) to terminology\. See
http://www.openehr.org/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=5997269 for
this discussion; the slideshow \(PDF format\) is linked at the bottom\.

To improve the URLs, I changed the title of the page referred to below so that a 'proper' permanent URL would be generated - it is now [http://www.openehr.org/wiki/display/term/Information+Model+-+Terminology+Equivalence](http://www.openehr.org/wiki/display/term/Information+Model+-+Terminology+Equivalence)
