Hi,

Starting to actively work on MU2 certification. Have completed the Smoking Status (and other things; see below) item:
http://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/Smoking_status_(MU2)

Here’s a link to the code:
http://github.com/bradymiller/openemr/commit/8a5e217afc29a22e638e7b0a75a7ffc03485844b

In addition to the smoking status, also implemented the following things:
-Support for broad SNOMED clinical terms (rather than only diagnosis codes)
     -A new code type was added to support this
-Support for Clinical Term Code(s) mapping in Administration->Lists
     -See Smoking Status list for example
-Added ability to import the SNOMED US extension pack
     -You import the international package first, then import the Us extension pack
     -The size of the code columns in codes table was increased to
      support these longer SNOMED codes.

Would be great if could get input/review/testing/feedback. It would also be great to get others to begin actively working on the MU2 certification elements (at this point, only Z&H is actively using resources towards this). Here’s the Stage II Certification project page:

Hi,
This code is testing very well after extensive testing, so just committed it to sourceforge.

Hi,
This is more of a note to myself. The SNOMED US extension codes are up to 15 digits long, so will increase all sql columns in the database up to a size of 20 (for example code column in billing table).
