Thank you Peter for your input. At this time I suggest our group focus on the semantics of the concepts being proposed. Assigning identifiers (or codes) to concepts would be the next step after the concepts semantics are confirmed.
Thank you, Wendy |

I reiterate my previous comment that there appears to be no pattern to the abbreviations, given the seeming lack of restriction on lengths.
Except for acronyms of very long identifiers, I propose that the full word be used, where possible. Since some of these codes will have to change in order to comply with the existing standard, now seems to me to be a good time to revise the set with a rational approach to the codes. I also note that a code such as PRAC is potentially confusing, since it could imply to a human reader that something positive about a practice may be involved whilst it actually stands for something negative, a restriction on a practice. |

Hi everyone,
From the https://ic.infoway-inforoute.ca/en/forum/221-health-level-seven-international-hl7/413-hl7v3-r02-04-03-terminology-questions thread, we need to do more work around the conditions or restrictions to practice for a health care provider, so I am starting a new dedicated thread on it.
