UK Core Implementation Guide STU3 Sequence

Please note:

This version of the UK Core is a development copy.
This contains BREAKING CHANGES as a result of the C&TA Sprint 7 Review, and STU2 Sequence ballot reconciliation.
This version is not yet reviewed for implementation. Other versions are available on the UK Core Version History Guide
Please follow the guidance on the Contact Us page if you need any assistance.
A summary of changes is available on the STU3 Sequence Change Log

Terminology

ValueSets and CodeSystems

This is the list of ValueSets and CodeSystems defined for use within the UK Core.

Other ValueSets are usable if the binding strength is defined as extensible. For more information see HL7 FHIR - Binding Strengths.

Important note regarding ValueSet expansions:

Within this release of the UK Core, ValueSet expansions have been incorporated into the ValueSets. For some ValueSets containing SNOMED CT or dm+d data in particular, the number of concepts were deemed too large to expand. It should also be remembered that the expansions of SNOMED CT data in particular represent the content available at the time the expansion was generated, but that this content can subsequently change. For an up to date and complete list of values, suppliers SHOULD consult the latest SNOMED CT terminology release.

UKCore-MedicationAdministrationCategory was added after specific review and feedback from the Digital and Interoperable Medicines Programme. It was not added under a Clinical & Technical Assurance sprint.

UKCore-UnifiedTestList added in C&TA Sprint 6 was replaced by the UKCore-PathologyAndLaboratoryMedicineObservables and UKCore-PathologyAndLaboratoryMedicineProcedures ValueSets during the STU2 Ballot reconciliation due to a change by the SNOMED CT UK Clinical Edition.
