Create Concept Sets using equivalent standard and non-standard codes
In this tutorial, we will show you:
How to create a new Concept set that uses standard codes equivalent to original non-standard codes
How to create a new Concept set that uses non-standard codes equivalent to original standard codes
Find equivalent non-standard codes for standard codes
We start by having a Concept Set defined using standard codes. In the example below, we have defined an Asthma Concept Set with nine standard codes. Our goal is to create an equivalent concept that uses non-standard codes.
Go to the Included Source Codes page.
The Vocabulary filter on the left shows, SNOMED, ICD10fi, ICD9fi, and ICPC codes. SNOMED codes are standard codes, while the other codes are non-standard codes.
The Included Source Codes page shows all codes in blue regardless if they are standard, non-standard or classification codes.
Select all ICD10fi and ICD9fi non-standard codes using the Id column checkbox.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Add To Concept Set button.
Go to the Concept Set Expression page. Non-standard codes (in red) are now also listed (see screenshot below).
The red shopping cart icon on the left of the Concept Set indicates that the Concept Set has been changed but not saved.
Rename the Concept Set.
Select all standard codes (shown in blue) using the Id column checkbox.
Scroll down the page, and click the Remove Selected button.
Save the Concept Set.
The new Concept Set is now ready. It contains non-standard codes that are the mapped equivalents for the standard SNOMED codes used to define the original Concept Set.
Mapped equivalent codes can also be selected using the Mapped checkbox option on the Included Concepts page.
On the Included Concepts page, after selecting standard codes, select the Mapped checkbox and click the Add To Concept Set button. This will add all equivalent non-standard codes to the Concept Set.
Find equivalent standard codes for non-standard codes
We start by having a Concept Set defined using non-standard codes. In the example below, we have defined a Concept Set with nine non-standard codes. Our goal is to create an equivalent concept that uses standard codes.
Click a Concept Name to show Details of the code. In the example below, you see that the code is Non-Standard:
Go to the Related Concepts tab. There you can see the mapped standard (in blue) and non-standard (in red) codes.
Select the standard code using the Id column check box.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Add to Concept Set button.
Go to the Concept Sets page to see that the standard code (shown in blue) has been included in the Concept Set. You can add other standard codes in the same way.
Rename the Concept Set.
Select all non-standard codes (in red).
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Remove Selected button.
Save the new Concept Set.
The new Concept Set is now ready. It contains standard codes that are the mapped equivalents for the non-standard used to define the original Concept Set.
