All, To elaborate on Debbie's question here, let me expand a bit. RACE_CD is a standard column in PATIENT_DIMENSION. Ethnicity does not have a standard column in PATIENT_DIMENSION, but many of us in GPC added to a custom PATIENT_DIMENSION table in order to support a CDM requirement.
Ideally, GPC should propose to Partners to add a standard column to the i2b2 PATIENT_DIMENSION table, especially since CDM requires this data? I guess these organizations are not the same, but they all work together, and many of the same people are somewhat involved in the PCORI/CDM project. In the short term and as an alternative, we could propose a new standard SCILHS concept named "SCILHS: ETHNICITY" and use the CONCEPT_DIMENSION instead. Or in GPC, we could have a standard ethnicity concept named "GPC: ETHNICITY". It just makes sense to have a standard concept to represent a standard CDM attribute. --- Keith M.

For example, ETHNICITY:HISPANIC and RACE:01 have C_FACTTABLECOLUMN PATIENT_NUM, C_TABLENAME PATIENT_DIMENSION, C_COLUMNNAME RACE_CD. So you can have an ethnicity or a race but not both. --- Debbie
