      ​Thank you for your question. We agree that the more generic term you suggest would satisfy the intent of the measure, however, no code currently exists. The measure steward will not be requesting this code from SNOMED-CT, however, recommend if implementers would like such a code, then they should request it through SNOMED-CT's proper channels. If a code like that becomes available in the future, we would consider adding it to our value set.

      IMO customers have indicated it would be beneficial to have a more generic concept available in this value set. Specifically, "SURGICAL PROCEDURE FOR ATRIAL ARRHYTHMIA". We realize that there is NOT a SNOMED-CT concept for this - but we know it is a clinically friendly term our customers use. Is there a reason, other than lack of a more generic term in SNOMED, that a generic term is not available? Would the measure developer consider requesting a term from SNOMED International and then adding it to the value set?
