Value set guidance

HealthConditionCode contains SNOMED CT concepts only. The SNOMED CT CA to ICD-10-CA map supports the conversion of clinical detailed SNOMED CT concepts into ICD-10-CA codes to support interoperability, secondary use of clinical data, statistical reporting and health system analysis. This refset contains a comprehensive set of 120,000+ SNOMED CT concepts from the clinical finding hierarchy mapped to v2022 ICD-10-CA. ICD-10-CA is the national standard for morbidity data collection in Canada.
