https://fhir.hl7.org.uk/StructureDefinition/Extension-UKCore-CodingSCTDescDisplay

The description display term for a SNOMED CT concept.

This extension SHALL be used with the HL7 core-defined extension coding-sctdescid to support the exchange of the selected description display term for a SNOMED CT concept, where the selected display term is different to the preferred term. The description display term associated with the ID within the coding-sctdescid extension is important to enable the representation of the exact term that was entered by the clinician that recorded the data, or the exact term that a legacy code e.g. a Read v2 code has been translated to using an assured mapping table.

Examples

Coding SNOMED CT Description Id- An example to illustrate the extension of adding a SNOMED CT description Id and display Term.
Example UKCore-Condition-Extension-CodingSCTDescId

Guidance

This extension is used alongside the HL7 core-defined coding-sctdescid to support the exchange of the selected description display term for a SNOMED CT concept, where the selected display term is different to the preferred term. Specific guidance on the usage of this extension can be found within the CodeableConcept Guidance
