OMOP does not support movement disorder specialty

@aostropolets for vocabulary landscape assessment. I have struggled with provider specialty vocabulary.

@allanwu do you know how ‘movement specialist’ are documented in your data sources e.g. is it a designated with a specialist code in your health care system? I do not think it is a American Board of Medical Specialties certified specialty (or is it?). Is this a physician specialty or a non physician specialty?

As FYI OMOP vocabulary requests are handled here i believe Issues · OHDSI/Vocabulary-v5.0 · GitHub . If you show them there is an authoritative vocabulary that is generally accepted and if licensure allows them to import it into OMOP - they usually do it.

Current physician specialty list is here and more general provider specialty is here

As @Patrick_Ryan said here, the community does not have the experience with using Provider Specialty mostly because most data sources do not have this information in a reliable way - but if and when available, both the CDM and tools can support it.

@Patrick_Ryan

As a community, we are still harmonizing on provider specialty, and I know many databases either do not provide this information or if its particularly noisy (including not mapped into visit occurence table). Many of the NUCC concepts aren’t specific to Neurology (they combine Psychiatry and Neurology), so I’m just out of my depth to implement this reliably.
