      eCQM procedure and intervention clauses are expected to represent this information using SNOMED CT codes. But measures may allow CPT codes while "in transition". If a measure has not included transitional code systems in a (grouping) value set, then it is reasonable to request the addition of appropriate concepts from the transitional code systems in an update. Pending that update, implementors must comply with the current defined value sets. As has been noted by some discussants, this can be accomplished by mapping transitional concepts to concepts in the preferred code system. These mappings are not provided as part of the Meaningful Use artifacts.

    • Impacts capture of procedures

      We have CPT codes for procedures. Suppose a value set for Intervention or a procedure is in SNOMED code, how to identify CPT codes for corresponding SNOMED code. Is it necessary that we have to use only the value set given for each measure or its a vendor convenience to chose a CPT instead of SNOMED, when a SNOMED value set is given.
