Terminology

Terminology

This implementation guide draws on a number of formal terminologies (code systems). Several guiding principles were applied in selecting terminologies:

• Fit for purpose
• Conformance with FHIR
• Use in real world practice

Terminologies used throughout this implementation guide include SNOMED CT, ICD-10-CM, LOINC, and UCUM.

When possible, existing terminology content was used.

Value sets used by knowledge artifacts in this guide

This implementation guide uses externally defined value sets sourced from the Value Set Authority Center (VSAC), including reuse of value sets created and maintained by other organizations.

When no fit-for-purpose value sets existed, new value sets were created (see Value Sets).

Local code systems

When no existing codes were identified in existing terminologies, local code systems were defined. A complete list of code systems defined within this implementation guide is available here.
