NACRS Pick-Lists and Value Sets
Core
The NACRS pick-lists and value sets are standardized short-lists used to collect and report presenting complaint, diagnosis and intervention information on emergency department visits. These documents are for use with the National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS).
The NACRS pick-lists and value sets include the following:
- CEDIS Presenting Complaint List (PCL): Developed by the Canadian Emergency Department Information System (CEDIS) Working Group, this list includes common symptoms, complaints, problems and reasons for seeking medical care.
- Canadian Emergency Department Diagnosis Shortlist (CED-DxS): This includes more than 800 diagnoses in common terms, which are mapped to ICD-10-CA codes.
- Emergency Department Intervention Value Set (EDVS): Added to eStore in 2022–2023, this list contains more than 170 interventions in common terms and their associated CCI codes.
Note: PDF versions dating back to 2012–2013 are available upon request. The CED-DxS was updated in 2019–2020 and 2020–2021 to include COVID-19 codes.
