ATTENTION:
Please note that CP-1850 Change old RT-style SNOMED IDs to CT-style Concept IDs will be out for ballot in CPack-100 this week. Once again, we encourage you to vote and submit comments on this CP because it may have a significant impact on your implementations.

Please read the rationale section of the CP carefully.

We encourage commenters to perform risk assessments (an example is shown in the rationale) and communicate the results back to the Committee. The more detail you provide (specific codes, specific consequences) the better we will be able to help mitigate those risks.
