New version of CIEL concept dictionary added to dropbox

New version of CIEL dictionary has been added to dropbox and on Open Concept Lab for July 15, 2025!

CIEL has been designated a Digital Global Good by Digital Square!! This is added to its Digital Public Good designation from the DPGA!

Just wanted to let folks know that I am posting a new version of the CIEL concept dictionary in the dropbox with versions including 1.11.6, 2.0.1, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4.5 and 2.5.5. Note that I will no longer be releasing in versions prior to 1.11

Can I please remind everyone using the CIEL dictionary that this is a trust model. We are providing the service to the community and the community assists by providing concepts they require back to CIEL. This also includes translation of CIEL concepts into other languages. If you have added concepts to your dictionary and have not reported them back to CIEL, I strongly encourage you to do so (if guilt doesn’t work, then I will start to harass you :).

If this is the first time you are hearing about the MVP/CIEL concept dictionary which now comes as a standard option with the standalone appliance, you can get updates from the CIEL dropbox. You can send me an email describing your openmrs implementation, version number, country and project… and I will add you to the dropbox.

Be sure to read the wiki: om.rs/getciel

NOTE THAT THE DISTRIBUTION METHODOLOGY FOR CIEL USING THE OPEN CONCEPT LAB IS THE PREFERRED DISTRIBUTION MEDIUM FOR CIEL.

om.rs/ciel

Each version includes the global property ciel.conceptsVersion which contains the date of the release in YYYYMMDD format. A new global property update was added for 1.11+ which will force recreation of the word index as this is no longer included as part of the CIEL upload.

New codes added for PIH radiology, DRC labs, and FDA approved drugs. This release continues with with some new maps to ICD-11, ATC, etc. Over 26K maps to ICD-11. Nearly a third of CIEL concepts required multiple ICD-11 codes/post-coordination which shows how important the interface terminology is to clinical users.

We will continue to incrementally add to ICD-11 and will release a report shortly on the gap between the ICD-11 maps included in CIEL and the total ICD-11 foundation code database.**

The drug table was not updated for this release. We are working on getting a new version of the drug table out, but if you are interested, reach out to me separately.
