HELP-PROMPT: Enter a valid SNOMED CT Identifier (6-18 numeric).
DESCRIPTION: This is the SNOMED CT concept identifier for this entry. If this entry is null then the entry is
either unmapped or no valid SNOMED concept term exists to map this term.
This field is only editable by the Lab software.
TECHNICAL DESCR: Field added via patch LR*5.2*350.
-----------------------------
The SNOMED CT concept identifiers assigned by The International Health Terminology Standards
Development Organisation has the following specifications.
The SCTID data type is a 64-bit integer, which is subject to the following constraints:
Only positive integer values are permitted.
The minimum permitted value is 100,000 (6 digits)
The maximum permitted value is 999,999,999,999,999,999 (18-digits).
As a result of rules for the partition-identifier and check-digit, many
integers within this range are not valid SCTIDs.
Storage of these identifiers in this file is of data type free text with a 6-18 character length
and a numeric pattern match. This conforms to The Department of Veterans Affairs M Programming
Standards and Conventions 2008. The VA SACC has reviewed and indicated this data storage is within
standards and conventions.
-----------------------------
The SNOMED CT ID (SCTID) field needs to be a valid SNOMED CT concept.
The INPUT TRANSFORM checks if the SCT code is valid. If not the INPUT TRANSFORM fails.
------------------------------
This field is modified only by non-interactive means via updates from the VA Standard Terminology
Services.
The variable LRFMERTS is used by the AERT xref to determine if the field is being edited by a user
or by a process.
