Hi Erica In many cases (I would say most cases) there is not enough semantic information in incoming text to resolve to a leaf level SNOMED code, so the CUI is a good cut at mapping the concept. Applications can then surface just the relevant SNOMED codes/descriptions and have the human who has more context to draw from, make the choice.
