Is that the same as Condition.category=problem-list-item?
Lloyd McKenzie (Jan 30 2019 at 21:31):
Problem list doesn't imply chronic. Pregnancy might be a problem list item, but it's rarely described as chronic :)

Got it. Thanks.

FYI -- response posted as follows:
It might be worth logging a change request to solicit more feedback from Patient Care on this question, but I will add that there has been some discussion in the past that implied some might be using pre-coordinated condition codes to make that distinction. For example:
Acute otitis media (disorder)
SCTID: 3110003Chronic otitis media (disorder)
SCTID: 21186006

As a follow-up, Patient Care voted on GF#20358 and concluded:
1) a pre-coordinated code is recommended to be consistent with CCDA
2) due to implementers having some support for an acute/chronic flag (although it was debatable whether users actually use the flag), Patient Care agreed to add an extension for disease-course
