Recommendation Details

Need to add the following codes in bold to the EducationLevel code system:

EducationLevel

     ASSOC (Associate's or technical degree complete) 
     BD (College or baccalaureate degree complete) 
     ELEM (Elementary School)
     GD (Graduate or professional Degree complete)
     HS (High School or secondary school degree complete)
     JHS (Junior High portion of primary schooling complete)
     PB (Some post-baccalaureate education)
     POSTG (Doctoral or post graduate education)
     SCOL (Some College education)
     SEC (Some secondary or high school education)
     SJHS (Some Junior High primary schooling)

Display name and description are to be made identical with the content within the parentheses followed by the code to be consistent with other codes within the same code system.

These concepts are not abstract, and it is an intentional valueset consisting of all codes from EducationLevel code system.

This code system is used in the Person.educationLevelCode attribute in the PRPA_RM201301UV model and the PRPA_IN201311UV02 (Patient Registry Add Request) and PRPA_MT201301UV02 is the message payload.
