CDM Documentation: Table Description and User Guide update for the CONCEPT_CLASS table #660

Closed m-khitrun closed 2 months ago

m-khitrun commented 2 months ago

Hello, Here I would like to propose some updates for the CONCEPT_CLASS table section of the CDM 5.4 documentation:

Table Description The CONCEPT_CLASS table includes semantic categories that reference the source structure of each Vocabulary. Concept Classes represent so-called horizontal (e.g. MedDRA, RxNorm) or vertical levels (e.g. SNOMED) of the vocabulary structure. Vocabularies without any Concept Classes, such as HCPCS, use the vocabulary_id as the Concept Class. This reference table is populated with a single record for each Concept Class, which includes a Concept Class ID and a fully specified Concept Class name.

User Guide Users can utilize the CONCEPT_CLASS table to explore the different classes or categories of concepts within the OHDSI vocabularies.

Regards, Masha.
