This document describes the model for the concepts in the SNOMED Medicinal Product hierarchy; when populated, this model will provide:

• concepts Concepts in the international release to meet the core use cases
• a A foundation for national medicinal product terminologies
  • for For member nations with an existing terminology, the model underpinning the concepts will facilitate both direct use or mapping
  • for For member nations without an existing terminology, the concepts provide a consistent starting set of concepts and a model to develop from

The document is primarily a specification; ongoing development will be through the documentation and actual implementation of the machine readable concept model for the Medicinal Product hierarchy and population of this model will be directed by the detailed Editorial and Terming Guidance for the hierarchy (see:  Drug Concept Model - Editorial Guidelines for Modeling and Terming SNOMED CT Editorial Guide - Medicinal Product).

This document also provides a description of how aspects of the SNOMED Medicinal Product hierarchy correspond with the suite of standards in ISO, collectively known as the "Identification of Medicinal Products standards" (IDMP).
