Using the HERON code base, we do not generate encounters (visit_dimension) for 
NAACCR tumor records.

Subject: NAACCR Encounter type?

Hey all,

I'm close to loading our NAACCR data into our I2B2 instance, which involves 
generating encounter records (per the tumor_reg_visits table referenced in 
KUMC's naaccr_facts_load.sql).  These encounters don't line up with any 
existing encounters, they're all unique.

My question is, should these NAACCR "encounters" be represented in the 
Encounters portion of the I2B2 tree?  I checked Babel and spot-checked a few 
setups and didn't see any reference to NAACCR under Encounter Type, which is 
where I'd expect to find it.

Has this been considered/discussed/rejected?  Your thoughts are welcome.
