Death Table - Addition of Death Type Concepts

CDM Builders

The following are valid death type concept ids:

We are finding that we need the hierarchy represented for Death Certificate also present for the EHR record type to describe the cause of death for records.

Example:

EHR Record immediate cause
EHR Record contributory cause
EHR Record underlying cause

Would it be possible to add these as valid concepts for the Death Type Concept id?

I’d like to resurrect this post - but add my own I’m interested in.

@Christian_Reich - Could we add a concept for death being sourced from Social Security Death Master File? Or does one of the above fit the bill?

In the upcoming release.

@Christian_Reich - Thank you.

If already created - can you pass me a CONCEPT_ID and CONCEPT_NAME?

254 EHR Record immediate cause
255 EHR Record contributory cause
256 EHR Record underlying cause

Boo - I want one if the record came from Social Security Death Master File. :crying_cat_face:

Another one?

Yeah, I don’t think death gained from the Social Security Death Master File fits one of the already existing ones. But just tell me if I’m wrong - tell me which to pick.
