This section lists the coded value sets that are referenced by the FHIR profiles in this implementation guide. These coded values are used to describe and standardize clinical concepts and other data content within health records.
*Please note that these value sets are created by Ontario Health.
**Please note that use of terminology subsets hosted on Canada Health Infoway Terminology Gateway is required in order to comply with this interoperability specification. Access to and use of SNOMED CT and other subsets on Canada Health Infoway Terminology Gateway requires an Infoway account with acceptance of the SNOMED CT license agreements.
