The objective of this article was to evaluate the Gabrieli Medical Nomenclature (GMN) as a coding system for primary care, using a system of five criteria. These were: the infrastructure supporting the coding system; the code structure; ease of use of the codes; the reproducibility of coding; the usefulness of the codes to Australian GPs. The performance of the GMN was evaluated as being at, or below the level of other coding systems in each of the assessment areas. It was found that the GMN has no advantages over other, existing coding systems. Evaluation of coding systems should include an assessment of the reproducibility of coding and its usefulness to Australian general practice.
本文的目的是使用一个包含五个标准的系统，评估加布里埃利医学术语表（GMN）作为初级保健编码系统的情况。这五个标准分别是：支持编码系统的基础设施；代码结构；代码的易用性；编码的可重复性；代码对澳大利亚全科医生的有用性。在每个评估领域中，GMN的表现被评估为处于或低于其他编码系统的水平。研究发现，GMN相对于其他现有的编码系统没有优势。编码系统的评估应包括对编码可重复性及其对澳大利亚全科医疗有用性的评估。
