Topic: The nature of the disease

Hello. The task is to store information about the nature of the disease for each diagnosis. For example, the preliminary diagnosis is J06. 9 (ICD-10 reference book) the nature of the disease is "Acute", the final diagnosis is J45. 8 the nature of the disease is "Chronic for the first time in life".
To store the ICD-10 diagnosis code, we use the Condition.code resource. But the question arose where is it better to store the nature of the disease in the Condition resource?

That would be Condition.severity
Grahame Grieve (Sep 09 2021 at 10:54):
no sorry. Not that, it would be part of Condition.code - does ICD-10 have a way to do that?
