This would be the equivalent in GNU Health

** In the disease definition (diseases.xml)

<record model="gnuhealth.pathology" id="A084">
        <field name="name">Viral intestinal infection,
unspecified</field> <field name="code">A08.4</field>
        <field name="category" ref="icdcat1-1"></field>
</record>

It belongs to category "icdcat1-1", which is defined as

<record model="gnuhealth.pathology.category" id="icdcat1-1">
        <field name="name">(A00-A09) Intestinal infectious
diseases</field> <field name="parent" ref="icdcat1"></field>
</record>


So the way I would approach to it is f

1) Get the updated strings from the 2016 matching the current codes.
2) Detect and include the latest disease codes and categories (if there
are any)
 
I will create a new task so we can follow it from there. What is
important is to keep the current ids from the xml datafiles (eg,
id="A084" or "icdcat1-1").

Is good that xml datafiles should be equivalent

It's quite interesting the concept of "fragment", which we could use in
the future, to look for specific common conditions. We've been
discussing this with Chris Zimmerman and other colleagues.

I have proposed have some sort of tagging ("hashtags") for each
condition, so they can be found using them. For what I see, this would
be similar to the fragment. Definitely a big plus and help for doctors
to quickly find the condition.

Comments / Suggestions are most welcome !
