severitycode

Description

This subset contains concepts that represent a range of severities from mild to fatal. This subset is intended to be both a data exchange subset to support semantic interoperability and conformance testing, and a data capture subset that is implemented at the point of care. This subset was defined using the intensional definition of 272141005 Severities (qualifier value) against the substrate SNOMED CT Canadian Edition. This resource is an informative value set; a normative subset containing the expanded values can be found on Canada Health Infoway's Terminology Server.
