CommunicableDiseaseStageCode Subset

Here is the final version of the CommunicableDiseaseStageCode subset after the Communicable Disease Work group review. 

This subsets represents the periods of progression of the disease or condition from incubation through to period of convalescence.  The value is intended to be used in combination with the reportable disease/condition (e.g. Diphtheria -  stage value acute).

Stakeholders who are interested in encoding outbreak and case management for communicable disease should consider using this subset.  The subset reflects mainly Manitoba requirements but attempts have been made to incorporate other jurisdiction  needs.  The development process relies on an implementer to test this product.  This step has not occurred, therefore if a stakeholder wishes to use this content, they should contact Infoway. 

Thankyou for the assistance of all who participated in this subset development and review.
