Review of the proposed amendments for concept inactivation
Dear members and observers:
The Editorial Advisory Group has proposed amendments for concept inactivation. The objectives and the latest document (version 0.5) can be found at the following link.
Concept Inactivation Proposed Amendments
Paul has planed to update the document following the last EAG meeting. There will be two key changes, Firstly, change the Concept Moved Elsewhere proposal to remove the requirement to record either the ModuleID or the NameSpaceID. Second, post on the confluence page an example of the ambiguity that has 3 elements, at least one of which is clinically not useful using 3 possible options for resolution.
Could you please review the proposal and provide feedback to Paul via email? Note, there is a summary of proposed changes from page 34. The proposal will be discussed at the April EAG meeting if you have any concerns.
