      Continue to use the SNOMED values because:

      • SNOMED more common that LA codes
      • Available in VSAC
      • Already being used to collect data

       

      Will create LOINC to SCT mapping table in the value set introduction.

    Description

      The LOINC observable entity provided as fixed value code has specific example answers with answer ids:

      Answer Code Score Answer ID
      Yes, I want to become pregnant     LA26438-4
      I'm OK either way     LA26439-2
      No, I don't want to become pregnant     LA26440-0
      Unsure     LA14072-5

      The value set for valueCodeableConcept (StructureDefinition-us-core-observation-pregnancyintent-definitions.html) is different (https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/US-Core/ValueSet-us-core-pregnancy-intent.html).

      • wants to become pregnant is directly represented
      • I'm ok either way is different from Not sure of desire to become pregnant (finding) and from Ambivalent about becoming pregnant (finding).

      while the value set is extensible, the options should be relatively standard. The items I mentioned are nuances on a theme and will be difficult to tease out from data collected.  However, what is really missing is I plan to become pregnant  whether or not the patient is successful in her plan, plan is more definitive from "want" and it may yield a different clinical treatment decision.
