Death Table - Addition of Death Type Concepts

CDM Builders
#1

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?

#2

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?

#3

In the upcoming release.

#4

@Christian_Reich - Thank you.

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

#5

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

#6

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

#7

Another one?

#8

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.

#9

261 US Social Security Death Master File record

Released on Monday.
