- Identifying true ambiguity rather than lack of specificity or the meaning is "not known" and resolving the full suite of POSSIBLT_EQUIVALENT_To target concepts can sometimes be difficult.
- Share difficult ambiguous inactivations in the internal editor's meetings
- It is possible that one of the interpretations of the ambiguity gives rise to a concept that is not clinically meaningful. It is still important to create a concept to represent this concept to ensure that there is full semantic equivalence between the sum of the POSSIBLY_EQUIVALENT_TO targets and the ambiguous concept being inactivated as this is the only way of supporting analysis of historically coded clinical data that may have used the ambiguous concept. As a secondary action, the concept that is not clinically meaningful may then itself be inactivated.
