Semantic drift caused by limited values in value set
The Hospital Measures - Expired value set (2.16.840.1.113883.3.666.5.1146) had only 2 values in it.
R99 Ill-defined and unknown cause of mortality ICD10
798.9 Unattended death ICD9
The problem is that not very few deaths in a hospital or ER are unattended (ICD9) nor are they all ill-define and unknown cause of mortality (ICD10)
This value set forces one of those two options, but if a patient is in a code situation neither fits. Could we just have a generic 'Expired' code?
