All other VSAC terminologies: In most cases, when a VSAC terminology publishes an updated version, barring any data issues or inconsistencies that require resolution with the source terminology, UMLS needs approximately 3 weeks to process the update into VSAC-consumable files. VSAC needs about 3 weeks processing time after receiving the UMLS-processed files. This is the time it takes VSAC to extract, transform, load, and perform quality assurance for the code system. Total time from source terminology update to VSAC publication, approximately six weeks.
