Parsing ICD.txt or ICD.xml into VistA is more problematic. IMHO (and as suggested by someone earlier) that is not to be undertaken as an alternative to waiting for the VA to finish their update of the ICD9 within VistA.. To reinvent that wheel would be non-trivial to the max. The VA's use of ICD9 is a big, complicated wheel.. or set of gears, actually. regards, jlz
