Claim 0:
1. A computing device comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more hardware-based computer-readable memory devices storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to:
map International Classification of Disease, Revision 9 (ICD-9) codes and International Classification of Disease, Revision 10 (ICD-10) codes to ICD-Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terminology (SNOMED CT) concepts by obtaining and using external SNOMED CT mappings;
generate a directed acyclic graph (DAG) of the SNOMED CT concepts comprising the ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes mapped thereon:
identify one or more of the ICD-9 codes and ICD-10 codes unpaired with a shared SNOMED CT concept on the DAG;
identify, for each of the unpaired ICD-9 codes and ICD-10 codes, a common SNOMED CT concept on the DAG;
determine, for each of the unpaired ICD-9 codes and ICD-10 codes having a common SNOMED CT concept, a semantic similarity of clinical descriptions therebetween; and
pair one or more of the identified unpaired ICD-9 codes and one or more of the identified unpaired ICD-10 codes based on their respective common SNOMED CT concept and their respective semantic similarity.
