Codeset Builder - Import Codes

The Codeset Builder includes an option to import SNOMED CT Expression Constraint Language queries, this enables you to quickly add codes in bulk.

These can come in the form of published reference sets, for example, a PRIMIS specification or reference sets exported from 3rd party tools.

For example, a reference set for all Asthmatics "19567001" excluding acute Asthma + all children "304527002" :

(195967001 OR <<195977004 OR <<225057002 OR <<233679003 OR <<266361008 OR 389145006 OR <<866881000000101 OR <<424643009) MINUS (<<708094006 OR <<30352005 OR <<56968009 OR <<703953004 OR <<703954005 OR <<708093000)
