Environment or geographical location foundation reference set

This reference set provides terminology to support recording of information about types of environments or named locations such as countries, states and regions in Australian e-health implementations. It can be used:

· in implementations where use-case specific reference sets for types of environments or geographical locations are yet to be developed

· as the basis for developing further use-case specific reference sets for types of environments or geographical locations, through a process of constraint

· as a benchmark against which use-case specific reference sets that have been developed by the SNOMED CT-AU user community can be tested to assure that they are logical constraints of content relating to types of environment or geographical locations.
