Clinical terminology refers to the specialized language used by healthcare professionals to describe medical conditions, procedures, and treatments. This vocabulary ensures clear communication among doctors, nurses, and other medical staff, reducing the risk of misunderstandings. Terms often include specific names for diseases, anatomical structures, and diagnostic tests, which are essential for accurate patient care. Standardized clinical terminology systems, such as ICD (International Classification of Diseases) and SNOMED CT (Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms), help maintain consistency in medical records and research. These systems facilitate data sharing and improve the quality of healthcare by providing a common language for professionals across different settings.
