ConceptMap: GCS Crosswalk: Ambulance Dispatch Source to This IG's GCS CodeSystems

Official URL: https://fhir.dha.go.ke/ems/ConceptMap/em-gcs-crosswalk Version: 1.0.0
Active as of 2026-10-02 Computable Name:

Maps the ambulance dispatch source system's own GCS eye-opening, motor response, and verbal response codes (EMSourceGCSEyeOpeningCS, EMSourceGCSMotorResponseCS, EMSourceGCSVerbalResponseCS) onto this IG's own EMGCSEyeOpeningCS, EMGCSMotorResponseCS, and EMGCSVerbalResponseCS. Use via $translate during ingestion so a raw source value such as "XC3W" is converted to this IG's "spontaneous" before being placed on EMVitalSignsObservation.component[gcsEye] (and similarly for gcsMotor and gcsVerbal).

This mapping does not specify any particular context of use.
