Summary
The data dictionary currently maps the Ramsay Sedation Scale to the LOINC standard concept 1091379. We propose switching it to the SNOMED CT standard concept 4105091.

Both concepts are valid OMOP standard concepts.
Rationale
The other sedation/pain/agitation scores in the dictionary (e.g. NRS, VAS, RASS, …) are coded with SNOMED CT. Also, the LOINC concept is mapped to the Observation domain, while the SNOMED CT code (our suggestion) is mapped to Measurement, which makes more sense for the Ramsay Sedation Scale, as OMOP Measurement is for structured numerical or categorical values obtained through a systematic/standardized examination or test (which Ramsay is).
Proposed change
Replace the Ramsay Sedation Scale mapping 1091379 (LOINC) with 4105091 (SNOMED CT).
