Clinicians must record the same information twice using two separate SNOMED codes.
Elective Delivery (CMS 113) uses value set 2.16.840.1.113762.1.4.1045.26 ("Estimated Gestational Age at Delivery") while Exclusive Breast Milk Feeding (CMS 9) uses value set 2.16.840.1.113762.1.4.1045.47 ("Estimated Gestational Age at Birth") to express the gestational age in weeks at time of delivery/birth. Both value sets have a different SNOMED code.
Is there a particular reason why two separate value sets with two separate SNOMED codes are used in these situations? To report on both measures, clinicians will have to build two different processes to capture the same information.
