ICD-9-CM Resource package review

Hi everyone

As previously discussed, a deprecation process has been followed to remove the SNOMED CT to ICD-9-CM Epidemiological and Statistical Map from the International edition, as of July 2016. Instead, the map will now be provided as a permanent, static resource, to be published separately to the International Edition - this will be called the SNOMED CT® ICD-9-CM Resource Package Edition.

We would greatly appreciate all help with performing a review of this new package.

The review should be relatively quick and painless, as the content itself does not require verification, due to it being an exact replica of the January 2016 complexMap Full/Snapshot files.

However, in creating this edition we took several decisions with regards to the format of the package, and it's this on which we would appreciate your opinion. The decisions are detailed in the Release Notes, but I'll list them below as well:

1. The Full and Snapshot complexMap files are included exactly as they were in the January 2016 International edition, including all effective times.
2. The Delta complexMap file is now blank, as there have been no changes to this content since the January 2016 International edition.
3. All other files in the package remain blank, as this package retains a dependency on the January 2016 International edition, and therefore all other content must be referred to the files in that release.
4. The date of the package, and all files within it, is set to 1st May 2016, in order to demonstrate the dependency on the January 2016 International edition, whilst denoting its separation.
5. The moduleDependency file is also blank, because ICD-9-CM content resided in the core module, and therefore the dependency of the core module on the January 2016 edition (that was called out in the January 2016
moduleDependency file) persists for this ICD-9-CM package.
6. The refsetDescriptor file likewise remains blank, as the ICD-9-CM refset description persists in the International edition.

The aim is to publish this package around the 15th July 2016, so if you could possibly review the package and provide any feedback before then, that would be greatly appreciated.

I've shared the google folder with you all, so you should receive an email with the relevant link shortly - please let me know if you don't receive it.

Thanks very much for all of your help,

Kind regards

Andrew
