Oh, I thought it was going to become a standard concept, so Colorado preemptively coded the discharged to morgue/expired records as such. Oops!
However,
the new type_concept_id will cover @ericaVoss use case for CDM v5.*
V6 Death is problematic because there isn’t a type_concept_id associated with the Person.death_date in v6. If the death record lacks a cause of death, a Condition Occurrence record, there won’t be any type_concept_id associated with the death. Source provenance is an important aspect of the CDM.
