Abstrakt: Despite enormous investment of effort and resources there are few formal comparative evaluations between different coding schemes. We have recently described a methodology of a randomised crossover trial comparing the performance of Clinical Terms Version 3 (CTV3) and Read Codes 5 Byte set (RC5B) coding schemes in General Practice. 1 This study looked at the comparative performance of the two coding schemes by 10 general practitioners using a total of 995 concepts extracted from clinical records. This paper describes the use of the Certainty-Agreement diagram in providing a graphical representation of comparative functionality.
