Overview

The NSPA-SPE-COND list outlines health conditions that are related to scholarship programs.

Usage

In the Scholarship Exchange, a condition can be a medical disease, disability, or health-related attribute.

Existing condition lists such as the current ICD-10 manual contain a comprehensive and specific list of health diagnoses (e.g., W59.21XS - Turtle bite sequela). However, the comprehensiveness of these sources makes them impractical for use in the NSPA Exchange. Locating the more general conditions within this classification system also proves overwhelming for the purpose of encoding scholarship eligibility. Scholarship program requirements for health conditions are typically less detailed or exclusionary than the ICD diagnosis categories, and are often phrased colloquially.

Less comprehensive and general lists from external sources such as the CDC and Mayo Clinic do not include all of the conditions already found in the current program list.

To ensure this list is adequately detailed yet not overly complex, many general ICD chapters and conditions are included, the CDC and Mayo Clinic lists are referenced, and other conditions not included in these sources are added as associated programs are found.
