UMLS (Value Set Repository) Clinical Concepts (unique per hospital, larger hospital system might share one) Clinical Concepts (unique per hospital, larger hospital system might share one) Sounds like Rich wants to standardize this portion, the process of mapping from the vocabulary codes to the clinical concepts. A A Question: Is the query on the vocabulary concepts (A) and codes OR the clinical concepts (B)? Depending on this answer the CIM will have to be developed taking this into consideration? B Map Vocabulary Codes to Clinical Concept Dictionary
