|
includes the namespace identifier "1000087" (allocated to Canada Health Infoway) and the partition identifier "10", this concept belongs to the| Concept |

in the International Edition. The presence of the Canadian namespace identifier in this SCTID indicates that this concept was originally created by Canada Health Infoway and later promoted into the International Edition.
