CPT® 2015 Developer's Tool Kit (CPT DTK) is a significant enhancement to the Enhanced CPT Data File, allowing greater computer operability and support of the evolving needs of health information technology.
CPT DTK augments CPT® Data File (see 2015 edition) and the CPT® Enhanced Data File with the following three main files: type, property, and relationship. The CPT DTK introduces attributes and relationships based on CPT code characteristics (e.g., anatomic site, method, and device).
Files specific to CPT DTK include:
- Type file—provides a succinct representation of the types of information contained in the property and relationship files
- Property file—includes a list of properties that may be associated with a concept identifier (i.e., code, heading, or subheading)
- Relationship file—denotes the different relationships between concepts (i.e., code, heading, or subheading)
- Change History file
- Reference History file
- Deleted file
