To the extent feasible that is already in place in VistA. Note that some codes (actually, many codes) do not have a one-to-one correspondence, so some codes in one system or the other may have one-to-many or one-to-none relationships. Also note that as CPT codes themselves are copyrighted and licensed, such a cross-reference cannot be FLOSS.
What he may want to do is purchase a license from AMA on the web and pick up the data to install in a recent copy of the VistA FOIA. Then he can use VA FileMan and in particular the Lexicon Utility package to surf the relationships. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of K.S. Bhaskar Sent: Wednesday, June 14, 2006 8:18 AM To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Hardhats-members] Cross reference between ICD-9 and CPT codes Between his freshman and sophomore years, one of my sons is a summer intern with the National Institutes of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, MD. His project is to create a cross reference index between ICD-9 codes and CPT codes. In view of the pervasiveness of VistA, and the fact that it is freely available and usable FLOSS, his group has been persuaded to consider doing the work with Fileman (and making it accessible via M2Web). On successful completion, they plan to make the work freely available. If you care to volunteer to help him, please contact me off-list. In particular, I would like to see that the cross reference is created in a way to make it accessible to and usable by VistA applications. Thank you very much, in advance.
