Does anyone know how the PHINS VADS plans to accommodate mappings into its model? PHIN VADS is set up to handle concept codes from code systems, grouped into value sets for specific purposes. A mapping is a pair of concept codes, generally from two distinct coding systems, matched to each other to capture a specific meaning. And what might be called a Mapping Set would be a group of such mappings. That is not the kind of thing PHIN VADS usually deals in. But that is what is necessary to handle the Reportable Condition Mapping Tables (RCMT). Are they going to do this modelling behind the scenes and just surprise us when they publish this new kind of object? Or would it be better to get some idea what they are thinking ahead of time and be able to offer some feedback as to the appropriateness of their solution?

A question that will be discussed with respect to the RCMTs is: after this version is finalized, how will the tables be maintained?
To me the answer is pretty clear: automate the process. Write a program.
To justify this as a reasonable proposal, we need to define the task in a little more detail. The word "maintain" is not sufficiently precise to capture this. Here is what I mean.
[Note: I have lots of experience with the LOINC table from Regenstrief, and how to analyze it and work with it with software. I have no such experience with SNOMED. So my proposal here is actually just to write a program to maintain the LOINC-to-Reportable-Condition Mapping Table (L2RCMT). I am guessing that a similar program can be written to maintain the SNOMED-to-Reportable-Condition Mapping Table (S2RCMT)]
Definition of "maintain the L2RCMT": when each new version of the LOINC tables comes out, the new rows are submitted as input to the maintenance program. For each new row, the program will output the code of the unique Reportable Condition to which that LOINC code maps, or "Not Mapped" if there is no such unique Reportable Condition.
The program is not guaranteed to work perfectly. It will be designed based on the codes that have already been mapped in the prior version of the L2RCMT. It will be written so that it can perfectly generate the prior version of the L2RCMT. It will probably work by fairly simple textual analysis, eg. mapping a LOINC code to the Condition Code for Malaria if and only if the Component or the Long Name contains the string "Plasmodium".
However, new LOINC codes may contain textual patterns that differ in some way from the ones seen before. So there will be false positives and false negatives. Human review will be necessary to detect these. But it is likely that the program can operate with a very high degree of reliability.
