No. It’s an idea. Would it be possible to use concept_synonym to maintain 1:n synonyms? If yes, then maybe we could work on it together.
Yes, you can have as many synonyms as you want. Yes, let’s do that, but we should still roll out the current set of concepts if no other improvements are found.
@Christian_Reich @Dymshyts - here are some ideas for concept_synonym
- NUCC vocabulary (Healthcare Provider Taxonomy Code Set ) map to descriptions from here
- CMS specialty codes maps to NUCC. (Although I would ask that we rename the name of this vocabulary as CMS specialty codes - to disambiguate)
- NUCC Healthcare Provider Taxonomy Code Set has classifications built in here that i think we should incorporate as classification concepts or even concept ancestor hierarchy (if standard). Also described[here] .(https://www.hipaaspace.com/medical_billing/coding/health_care_provider_taxonomy_codes/taxonomy_codes_lookup.aspx)
- For ABMS vocabulary here are paragraph descriptions.

Regarding mappings: These mappings are already done by external sources, and we need to import them into OMOP. Some of these mappings are already in ATHENA may only need updating/validation for accuracy.
- We can map NUCC to CMS specialty codes here
- We can map CMS specialty codes to ABMS
- We can map ABMS to NUCC
Can you check the table against those resources?
Wait. I’m somehow lost. Haven’t we done that? I’m pretty sure that I actually mapped these things in order that we previously agreed on.
I did it by hand on the fly. Needs to be checked. Right now, there are almost no “Maps to” links.
There aren’t many, right. And Gowtham’s links are already incorporated (or we’re missing the file).
Hi Everyone,
I’m not sure whether this is the appropriate thread/place to raise this query - but here goes. I’m getting 4 HES specialty codes (National UK Treatment Function Codes) flagging in my DQD output with a null specialty_concept_id - ie. don’t exist in the vocab, these are 223, 262, 324, 329.
Is there a regular update of HES Specialty codes in the vocab?
Many thanks
Helen
262 exists as non-standard concept 44777775 Paediatric Pheumalogy (strange spelling), mapped to standard 45756818 Pediatric Rheumatology. You need to write the standard concept into the PROVIDER table if you don’t want to be dinged by the DQD.
The other three don’t exist. They would need to be added. Consider contributing them through the Community Contribution mechanism.
223 Paediatric Epilepsy Service - could be mapped to or made descendant of 45756772 Epilepsy
324 Anticoagulant Service - could be mapped to or made descendant of 38004501 Hematology
329 Transient Ischaemic Attack Service - could be mapped to or made descendant of 45756754 Cardiovascular Disease
