Is there official THEMIS guidance on this that I could reference?
For example, if I had a data set that listed diagnosis positions I would map it the following:
DIAG_POS_1 = 38000184 - Inpatient detail - 1st position
DIAG_POS_2 = 38000185 - Inpatient detail - 2nd position
DIAG_POS_3 = 38000186 - Inpatient detail - 3rd position
This data set didn’t have a specific “primary code” entry so I wouldn’t assert it. However from the conversation above I would think individuals would say DIAG_POS_1 was the 38000183 - Inpatient detail - primary.
@clairblacketer or @Christian_Reich or @aostropolets or @Gowtham_Rao what would you do in this situation?
