We have Ethnicity = Salvadoran
Canary's output has 'Not Hispanic or Latino'. What is the ethnicity value for this record? UT0003.json

Hi @valli chidambaram, can you attach the file that you're testing with? We'll take a look tomorrow morning.

valli chidambaram (Sep 14 2021 at 22:24):

Sure thing Pete. I just uploaded the file. Thanks.

"Salvadoran" is the detailed section (code 2161-8 I think). But the ombCategory should be "Hispanic or Latino"

@Michael Riley that's correct, @valli chidambaram the ethnicity section should have ombCatergory with "Hispanic or Latino" and a detailed url, this is how it should be structured

            "extension": [
              {
                "url": "ombCategory",
                "valueCoding": {
                  "system": "urn:oid:2.16.840.1.113883.6.238",
                  "code": "2135-2",
                  "display": "Hispanic or Latino"
                }
              },
              {
                "url": "detailed",
                "valueCoding": {
                  "system": "urn:oid:2.16.840.1.113883.6.238",
                  "code": "2161-8",
                  "display": "Salvadoran"
                }
              }
            ],

I noticed the race extension had "- Salvadoran" appended to the end of the race value strings. That should be removed, for instance

"display": "American Indian or Alaska Native - Salvadorian"

should become

"display": "American Indian or Alaska Native"

Here is a link to the cdc race and ethnicity code for reference https://www.hl7.org/fhir/us/core/CodeSystem-cdcrec.html
