Built-in Code Sets

Please note that this page is currently under construction. There is more information to come.

Overview

The SmartSimple platform comes with built-in code sets to help streamline the user's ease of look-up, identification, and categorization of various items specific to their instance. The three main built-in code sets include MeSH, NAICS and ICD.

Each code set corresponds to the categorization of a specific type of item that is beneficial to differing clients depending on which vertical market they belong to.

To enable these code sets as Custom Field options, you will need Global User Administrator access. 

Description of Code Sets

Abbreviation	Description	Target Client	Use-Case
MeSH (Medical Subject Headings)	MeSH includes the list of medical terms used by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) for its computerized system of storage and retrieval of published medical reports. As a comprehensive controlled vocabulary, MeSH serves as a thesaurus that facilitates searching within the medical research market.	Medical Research	the classification of specific details within medical research  Ex:
ICD (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Health Related Problems)	The ICD code set, currently on its 10th revision, is a medical classification list by the World Health Organization (WHO). It contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances and external causes of injury and diseases.	Independent Medical Examiners (insurance)	the classification of a type of injury Ex: Chronic post-traumatic headache, drug-induced headache
NAICS (North American Industry Classification System)	NAICS is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). NAICS is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries - it encompasses all economic activities, and is designed for the classification of data relating to industry establishments.	Industry	the classification of the purpose of a company, enterprise, or business Ex: Footwear store, dessert café, pay-per-view cable programming
