Feedback required: Heart Failure Content Changes, International Concept Inactivation Reports

Hi Anibal,
The CA Edition will go through the reconciliation cycle for the planned March and September releases. This will mean that the monthly releases will be dealt all together for each publication date. We will not reconciliate the monthy releases for now,

The stakeholders that will want to view the monthly releases will be able to do so by browsing the SNOMED International Daily Build .

I think that for now option #1 is best, until the next steps are determined. If your implementation requires the use of new concepts that are published in the International monthly release, you can certainly decide to leverage and use them as "pre-adopter", knowing that those changes will also be found in the next Canadian Edition publication.

Understood.

So, for those using the Canadian Edition out there, how are you planning on managing this?

The way I see it, we have a few options:

1. Ignore the changes done by SI until we see them in the Canadian Edition
2. Manually look at the changes done by SI and see if they'll affect Canadian Edition concepts
3. Create a unique edition with the SI monthly updates

I'm inclined to do #1 above, but not sure if this could cause issues. I don't think it'll cause that many issues right now, but eventually, as we all progress towards CA-PS we'll need to be on the same page as to which edition we'll be using.

thoughts?

Hi Anibal,
Thank you for the question. The Canadian Edition will not be published on a monthly release this year. Discussions are going to determine if more releases will be done eventually and when. Currently we are status quo, which means that we are publishing end of March and end of September 2022.

Hi Linda,

With the introduction of monthly releases by SI, does that mean that we'll get also monthly releases for the Canadian Extension?

If that's the case: will the new releases be made in a way that I can import them into snowstorm?
If that's not the case: how will we manage until the Canadian release is made?

Thanks,

-Anibal
