Book Description
Excerpt from Standard Nomenclature of Diseases and Pathological Conditions, Injuries, and Poisonings for the United States In 1918, at a meeting of representatives of the Army, the Navy, the Public Health Service, the War Risk Insurance, and the Council of National Defense, the possibility and desirability of creating and adopt ing a standard medical nomenclature were discussed. It became clearat once that the original plan for the Government services to adopt and put into immediate use a common nomenclature, meeting all needs of the Army, the Navy, and the Public Health Service, was imposible of accomplishment. The Army had just printed a new nomenclature, and it was apparent that even the preparation of a short combined list of diagnostic terms, meeting all needs, would require several months for completion. It became apparent, however, that the adoption of a common nomenclature of diseases and injuries would be very desirable and would be welcomed by all three Federal services.
