ICD-10 and/or CPT code inclusion

[SQLDataNinja]

Hello, Is there a chancee that inclusion of ICD-10 and/or CPT Codes to patient encounter and procedure data might be on the roadmap for this awesome project?

Thanks!

Short answer is "only if it is included by the user as part of a value set."

See #347 and #380.

In general, the idea is that inside a module a user may specify a FHIR ValueSet instead of a single code and the system will randomly use different codes from that value set in the records. That value set can be provided locally or from a service like VSAC (https://vsac.nlm.nih.gov).

We do not plan to embed ICD-10 or CPT in the repository due to licensing issues (both real and/or perceived).

Closed with #709.

In order for ValueSets to be used, you need to specify a FHIR terminology server using the generate.terminology_service_url property and have a module with ValueSet specified.

ValueSets can be specified in any State that contains a code. Just add a value_set attribute in addition to the system, code, and display.

For example:

{
  "system": "SNOMED-CT",
  "code": "2501000087107",
  "display": "MRI of right knee with contrast",
  "value_set": "http://snomed.info/sct?fhir_vs=ecl/<<2491000087104"
}

The example value_set: "http://snomed.info/sct?fhir_vs=ecl/<<2491000087104" links to a 404 page. I was wondering if you can give an example of local value_set or what would a terminology server/service link look like. Does the server need to be specific query URL and give a simple txt/json/xml response? What would be the lowest hanging fruit approach? Modify all modules to include some ICD directly on value_set attribute for each encounter codes?
