Procedures
Generate realistic Procedure resources with proper coding and clinical context.
Coding Systems
Use dual coding when possible:
- CPT (Current Procedural Terminology): system = http://www.ama-assn.org/go/cpt
- SNOMED CT: system = http://snomed.info/sct
- HCPCS: system = https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coding/HCPCSReleaseCodeSets
- ICD-10-PCS (inpatient): system = http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coding/ICD10
