I will definitely try to! Going to be a while before there is anything though. Hopefully it can turn into a case study or something like that. On Mar 17, 2016 5:34 PM, "Kyle Banerjee" wrote: > BTW, I hope you share the solution you decide to implement. > > Public health

Howdy Jacob, One thing you'll want to consider in choosing a vocabulary is to find one that's optimized for purposes/topics similar to yours. For example, SNOMED is designed to provide standardized terminology for storing/retrieving information from clinical care EHRs, ICD-10 is for reporting
