Simple Map type Reference Sets

The Simple Map type Reference Set should be used for one-to-one mappings between SNOMED CT and alternative coding schemes. Although one-to-many mappings are allowed as well. It is possible to map to an external code system, using any of the imported terminologies or code systems as map sources.

To create a new Simple Map type Reference Set, right-click on the Simple Map type Reference Set grouping concept in the Reference Set View and select New Simple Map type Reference Set and specify:

Field	Description
Preferred term	A description for the new Map type Reference Set
Referenced component type	A SNOMED CT Concept or SNOMED CT Description
