Description
Category code "health-concern" takes a commonly understood term and introduces a specific local constraint ("outside the provider’s problem list"). This is confusing and potentially dangerous. Either change the term to something matching the definition (e.g., "extra-problem-list-concern") or change the definition to match the existing term (one option: USCDI I/II "Health related matter that is of interest, importance, or worry to someone who may be the patient, patient’s family or patient’s health care provider.")
