Hi Mean, We plan to use MVP's concept dictionary which already maps to ICD-10 and SNOMED. So you get three for the price of one (free).
If you want the ontology behind SNOMED, that is when you will need to get a license. But until then, MVP may be the most economical approach. I can show you how we plan to deploy OpenMRS in the Philippines when we meet in Bangkok... alvin On Wed, Nov 30, 2011 at 7:07 PM, Andrew Kanter <[email protected]>wrote: > Mean, > > We are using ICD-10-WHO as maps to our diagnostic concepts.
