Tables
The database needs updated information.
The details are not sufficient to properly convert into vocabulary concepts.
This page collects some details about improvements and changes as far as the are known or identified so far.
Performing the analysis several issues could be noted:
- Some tables are named as ‘ID’, and they also refer to identifer. They seem to be added as an error and should be removed.
- ‘type’ tables: it should be checked whether they really refer to a type!?
- ‘code’ tables: this is duplicate because all tables should contain codes -> remove abbreviation from name
Tables for Identifiers
Tables should contain coded information.
Therefore, the following tables are erroneously added and refer to identifiers instead of coded information.
- 0010: Physician ID: is assigned to PV1-7/8 and more, but not used as a codesystem. Is rather an identifier.
- 0188: Operator ID
Candidates to Maintain as Code System

as domain with examples only
Declared as a codesystem, but the table is probably more like a domain only because the values seem incomplete or not reasonable enough to argue a codesystem:
- 0189: Ethnic Group (compare with table 0005 in v2.1)
- 0216: Patient Status Code: list is incomplete, eg. planned patient, or ambulatory patient
Keep As Concept Domain Only with Example Values
Following a list of tables that represent domain only, some with some example values.

open
The following list waits for further analysis.

tables to External Vocabulary
The following tables refer to external vocabulary like Snomed or LOINC.
We can create value sets by listing the specific codes that should be included, but we cannot
create a codesystem:
- 0719: Access Restriction Reason Code
- 0961: Device Type
- 0963: Device Safety
tables that changed among versions
- 0005: ethnic Group vs. race
- codesystem: v2.1
- domain only: v2.2 - v2.3.1
- foreign value set: v2.4- v2.9
- domain only: v2.9.1
- 0006: religion
- different codesystems
- missing values in new codesystem
- 0078: interpretation codes
- maintained as codesystems till v2.8.2
- maintained as concept domain from v2.9
Incomplete Tables
- 0359: diagnosis priority
- 0391: segment group (requires new extract from message structures)
Tables with specific syntax for some codes
- 0359: diagnosis priority
- ????: timing
outdated or unused tables

Other Issues
This list identifies other issues that need clarification:
- 0242: Primary Observer’s Qualification
- this list seems to introduce a hierarchy of values
- this list seems to be incomplete
- TODO: validate and complete list
- 0359: diagnosis priority
- incomplete codesystem, “2 and higher” as code
- 0372: Specimen Component
- unclear whether this is a classification (with other), or a terminology
- treated as terminology for the moment
- 0383: Substance status
- seems to be a hierarchic codesystem (would need to add other codes)
- can bo temporarily solved by declaring “OW” and “OE” as “other”
- 0485: Extended Priority Codes
- incomplete list
- expression syntax
- 0642: Reorder Theory Codes
- 0739: (DRG) Status Patient
- verify correct name of table -> change for early versions
- 0882: Medical Role Executing Physician
- should become domain with example values only
