Creating a Concept

Creating Code Systems are managed by the controls above the Code Systems table

🚧To create a new Code System, please follow the steps below:

Open the Create Concept View

Creating a Concept is started by clicking the Add button above the Concept table

🚧To open the Create Concept view:

Click the Create button

After, the Create Concept view will display

Define the Mnemonic

The Mnemonic is a globally unique human readable label for the concept.
This mnemonic is used by programmers and humans to reference the mnemonic using a more friendly name than the UUID

🚧To define the Mnemonic for the Concept:

Enter a Mnemonic into the Mnemonic input

Define the Classification

The Classification is used for internal model validation, the classification lets the CDR understand the overall categorization under which the concept falls

🚧To define the Classification for the Concept:

Click on the Classification input

After, a dropdown will appear with a collection of available Classifications

Select an appropriate Classification

Add Names

Names are human readable descriptions of the concept which appear in SanteDB's user interface

🚧To add a Name for the Concept:

Enter the Name into the Name Value input
Select the appropriate language in the Language input

Adding More Names

Adding More Names is handled by the Add button

🚧To add another Name for the Concept:

Click the Add button
Enter the Name into the Name Value input
Select the appropriate language in the Language input

Removing a Name

Removing a Name is handled by the Remove button

🚧To remove a Name from the Concept:

Click the Remove button

Add Associations

Setting Membership of a Concept is handled through the Members of Set input. This input handles groupings of concepts within a concept set

🚧To add the new Concept to an existing Concept Set :

Click the Concept Set input

After, a dropdown will appear with a collection of available Concept Sets

Select an appropriate Concept Set

Click the Add button

➕Adding More Associations

Adding more associations are handled through the Add button

🚧To add more Concept Set associations:

Select another Concept Set
Click the Add button

❌Removing an Association

Removing Associations are handled by the Remove button

🚧To remove a Concept Set associations:

Click the Remove button

Add Reference Terms

The Reference Terms are wire level manifestations of the concept in a particular code system.

🚧To add a Reference Term for the Concept:

Click the Add button

After, new controls will appear in the Reference Terms input

Select a Mapping

The Mapping defines the comparison between a Reference Term and a Code in the Code System

Click the Mapping input

After, a dropdown should appear with a collection of Mapping options

Search and select an appropriate Mapping option

Different Mappings

The mapping should be selected keeping the following options in mind:

SAME_AS — The Reference Term has an identical semantic meaning as the Code in the Code System
INVERSE_OF — The Reference Term has the opposite meaning as the Code in the Code System
NEGATION_OF — The Reference Term indicates a *negation of the Code in the *Code System (e.g. a code indicating a negative diagnosis)
NARROWER_THAN — The Reference Term has a definition that is narrower in meaning to the Code in the Code System
WIDER_THAN — The Reference Term has a meaning that is more broad in meaning to the Code in the Code System
