2009AA UMLS Metathesaurus: New and Updated Sources - Expanded Representation Information
General Information:
What's New to the Metathesaurus
For 2009AA, there are 3 new sources (ICD10PCS, ICF, ICF-CY), 2 new translation sources (MSHLAV, KCD5), 31 updated sources,
and 17 updated translation sources.
ICD10PCS, the ICD-10 Procedure Coding System, is a system of medical classification used for procedural codes. It
is a successor to Volume 3 of ICD-9-CM.
ICF, The International Classification
of Functioning, Disability and Health, is a classification of health and
health-related domains. These domains are classified from body, individual and
societal perspectives by means of two lists: a list of body functions and
structure, and a list of domains of activity and participation. ICF is useful to
understand and measure health outcomes. It can be used in clinical settings,
health services or surveys at the individual or population level.
ICF-CY, The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for
Children and Youth is a derived version of the International Classification of
Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) designed to record characteristics of
the developing child and the influence of environments surrounding the child.
This derived version of the ICF can be used by providers, consumers and all
those concerned with the health, education, and well being of children and
youth.
KCD5, Korean Standard Classification of Disease, is a Korean
version of ICD10, published by the Korean National Health Information Task
Force.
MSHLAV is Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), Latvian
Edition.
As translation sources are updated, we continue to attempt to
represent them as closely as possible to the English version. This includes
using the same term types and creating the same relationships in the translation
source. If there are concepts missing from the translation source that would
cause gaps in the hierarchy, those gaps are filled in with the English language
version of the missing concept.

International Classification for Nursing Practice
SAB: ICNP1_1
1) New attribute name (ATN):
ICNP_TYPE
STATUS
Discussion: STATUS shows if a code is active (current) or inactive (obsolete/deprecated).
Currently, all codes are "A".
ICNP_TYPE shows if a code is a Diagnosis/Outcome (DC), an Intervention (IC), or Primitive (7-axes: A, C, F, J,
L, M, T).
2) It is important to note that this source does not "look
like" versions of ICNP that can be browsed on the web or are described in the
book. It is organized differently. Also, the axis information is passive
information (assigned to the ICNP_TYPE attribute) and is not used to build a
hierarchy.
