Narrative description | A concept that has been inactivated because the FSN contains an error which impact the meaning. For example, while in ordinary usage the words sprain and strain are often used interchangeably, in fact they are not synonyms. A sprain refers specifically to an injury of a ligament, which connects bone to bone. A strain is an injury of a tendon, which connects muscle to bone. Therefore a sprain of the biceps tendon would be an error, it should be a strain of the biceps tendon. The important aspect here is that by making this change to the FSN there is a clear change in meaning of the concept and hence the need to inactivate the original concept. Historically this inactivation reason has also been used to include (usually minor) technical typographical and grammar errors. However, current guidance recommends that the FSN can be changed whilst retaining the concept ID provided such corrections do not in truth change the meaning. Therefore, in the context of inactivating concepts, this inactivation reason now explicitly excludes such minor technical corrections. Note however that, where a typographically incorrect FSN description is inactivated to make way for a corrected alternate FSN on the same concept, then the reason Reason for inactivation Inactivation of the inactivated FSN description component would validly be: Erroneous. | |
Details | What is being inactivated (concept/description/any component)? | The concept which is considered to be in error |
What is the reason for inactivation (description)? | The meaning portrayed by the FSN is clinically incorrect and/or there are typographical errors which change the meaning beyond what was originally intended or understood | |
Which inactivation value should be used? | Erroneous component | |
Which historical association reference set should be used? | REPLACED_BY association reference set (foundation metadata concept) | |
