PheNominal basic use case. In part 2, the user is considering the addition of 2 discrete HPO terms, synophrys (unibrow) and polysyndactyly of hallux (extra big toe) for their patient. In part 3, the superclass and subclass terms are highlighted, as in some cases the user may prefer to be more or less specific in their term choice. After adding terms in part 2, in part 4 the user may choose to save the terms to the EHR, which makes them immediately available for inclusion in patient notes as a pre-formatted Rich Text Format (RTF) table, as well as available for downstream use in bioinformatics or analytics pipelines
