I still would not like the idea of a list of rape trauma victims being sold as that almost by definition would add to the trauma they have suffered if they knew this happened.

SNOMED CT is used to build 'clinical statements' which are combinations of SNOMED CT-terms to help build a more in-depth patient record. Many of those terms are non-clinical, but can be used in combination with clinical-terms.

I run a company that develops a web-based medical practice management system. We use NLP techniques combined with the SNOMED CT database (and others) to extract clinical-statements from all text inputted against a medical record. Whether it's a complaint, treatment, diagnosis, or even an email to the patient. So I don't doubt for a second that there are other systems out there that do a similar thing and have auto-associated patients with various clinical and non-clinical terms.
