General description

The Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) comprises a collection of files and software designed to unify various health and biomedical vocabularies and standards, facilitating interoperability among computer systems. UMLS merges and disseminates essential terminology, classification, and coding standards, along with related resources. This integration supports the development of more efficient and interoperable biomedical information systems and services, such as electronic health records.
