This is potentially a pretty big project. We will want to review with stakeholders before starting this.
Originally, the standard was to create a new record for a concept set if it was designed from scratch for a study, even if it related to the same clinical concept as a codeset already existing in PEDSpace. A new version of the preexisting codeset would be created only if that codeset was modified for reuse.
Here's an example of how the current practice is confusing. Two CAKUT concept sets below are almost exactly identical, down to the fact that Levon developed both, but one was created for RECOVER and one was created for PRESERVE.
I think it could be better to consolidate the codesets as versions under one concept. (E.g., two Acute Chest Syndrome records, A
and B, would become 2 versions of the same record) Their versioning metadata would list the different studies they were used for. When/if we create "PEDSnet Definitions", we can think about how we would keep those as the first Record.
Here's the issue. I identified 21 concepts that need to be consolidated, and I could do this work myself, BUT, I think this would totally mess up the DOIs since I'd be creating new versions in this process. Unless we somehow version them on the backend, I'm not sure if it's possible for me to do this without loosing a few identifiers.
Lmk from a technical perspective if this is possible, advisable, or generally if this makes any sense at all. Thanks!!
