For the GPC SHRINE, the approach of starting without modifiers, then
adding them later seems appropriate.  I¹d rather have some data available
in SHRINE, then none.

For the modifiers, at UTSW, we simply added our local modifiers under the
SCILHS modifiers.  So, the ³Primary² modifier had all of the various
billing, claims, encounter, professions, etc. primary modifiers.  We did
the same for the other modifiers as best we could as well.

If you are using the GPC modifiers in your local data,  it¹s possible we
could share this mapping across GPC sites to have better alignment of the
modifiers.  And it would allow you to support the SHRINE PCORI modifiers
with little local effort.
