description

Used to map standard code system concepts to the related area of the Laboratory package database. It supports mapping codes used in the role identifying the result or expressing the answer. Examples of result codes are LOINC and VA NLT Test Result codes such as LOINC code 11475-1 MICROORGANISM IDENTIFIED: PRID:PT:XXX:NOM:CULTURE which represents the concept of organism identified. Examples of answer codes are SNOMED CT code 23506009 which is the term 'normal flora' or SNOMED CT code 30334005 AEROMONAS SALMONICIDA (ORGANISM) which represents the name of the organism identified. This file should not export its data via the standard KIDS data export mechanism. Because local codes can have the same identifier as national codes, the KIDS install may inadvertently overwrite local codes. Data exports should use a different mechanism, such as using KIDS Transport global to load the data onto the target system.

Fields

#	Name	Location	Type	Details	Index	Description
.001	sequence		11			Sequence number (IEN).
.01	concept(+)	0;1	FREE TEXT		B	Indicates the nature of the codes and what area of the laboratory the concept relates.
.02	lr subscript(+)	0;2	SET OF CODES	CH:CHEM, HEM, TOX, RIA, SER, etc. MI:MICROBIOLOGY EM:ELECTRON MICROSCOPY SP:SURGICAL PATHOLOGY CY:CYTOLOGY AU:AUTOPSY BB:BLOOD BANK		Lab Data file (#63) subscript for this entry.
.03	database code(+)	0;3	POINTER	64.061		For 'result' type codes this field indicates the related area of the Laboratory package database where answers to this code area to be stored. The database code indicates the storage location within the Laboratory package.
.04	alternate concept	0;4	POINTER	62.47		Used to designate an alternate concept when the answer associated with this concept is not in a form that can be stored within the current VistA database. Example is when VistA expects to store the answer as a pointer to a VistA file and the instance of an answer is free text. This field will point to a concept that will allow the answer to be stored in a field which can accept the answer.
1	identifier	1;0	MULTIPLE	62.4701		The Identifier contains the codes/codesets that are associated with this Concept.
