The optimal process to fix this error would be to fix it locally for the immediate benefit of the VA. Then there would need to be a submission of the change request to the US National Release Center (NRC). The US NRC would evaluate the request as to whether it is applicable to only the US or if it is an issue for the International core of SNOMED. If the US NRC determined that this was an issue for the International core they would then forward the request to the International staff for consideration. Acknowledging that there is limited bandwidth at both the US and International level for authoring, the request may not make the next 6-month Release cycle. This request has been submitted to the US Content Request Service for evaluation (Request ID: 349742, Jira Ticket ID: USCRS-31022).
As an example, if the request submitted to fix the error was picked up and forwarded immediately to SNOMED International, the earliest it would and will only be available in the US Release for the VA to use would be in March 2021.
The corrected concept will now subsume other chronic lung disorders.
