Hello, has a Concept Map been published for the transformation of ICD Codes to SNOMED, which could afterwards be used with the $translate Operation within the FHIR Mapping Language to do the mapping between the terminologies? Or is there a way to generate such Concept Maps with databases as athena.ohdsi.org? Any suggestions and experiences in this area would be very appreciated!

  1. no there isn't such a concept map published, and I'm not sure who'd care to take on the liabilit associated with that

  2. no, there isn't a way. Yet. It's on the todo list.

Hello @Rob Hausam , we are implementing FHIR Terminology Client Consumer cases, have doubt on below two, please elaborate on below,

• References to SNOMED CT and LOINC implicit value sets
• Create (POST, PUT) ValueSet resources referencing in-line and/or external code systems

NLM publishes a map, with all the caveats you'd expect about completeness and lossiness and risk.
It's not a ConceptMap. And it's ICD-10 CM (US).

athena from OHDSI has such a mapping (as Alexander Dimitrov mentioned(?)), at least for the German modification. But it's no ConceptMap...

That's at least what a colleague of mine from Germany told me.
