Inactive concepts in HERMES

Developers
#1

Hi all,

It seems that HERMES is including inactive SNOMED CT concepts. For example, Nausea NOS was inactivated in the January 31, 2007 release.

Is this a feature or a bug?

Thanks,
Brandon

This is working as intended. We currently allow exploration to all concepts, active and inactive. We support filtering related concept by status (invalid/valid). Do you think we should have an indicator on the concept screen so you know if you are looking at an invalid concept?

Frank:

That would be good. Maybe it may even make sense to grey them out a bit, or so. Because people usually don’t think about the valid stuff. Even I keep forgetting, from time to time.

Ok I’ve added a new issue to GitHub for this feature in the next release.
