Context of Issue
Use on element UKCore-Observation.code
Source of proposal UK Core development team

Issue Proposal
The draft UKCore-Observation profile, has two open slices on element Observation.code
  • snomedCT, bound to ValueSet-UKCore-ObservationType (preferred)
  • loinc, bound to observation-codes (example)


The origins of these slices are from the FHIR STU3 CareConnect Specimen profile, and the now retired Extension-UKCore-CodingSCTDescId.
  • Investigate further if the slices can be removed, without impacting validation or derived profiles
  • Remove slices
  • Bind Observation.code to ValueSet-UKCore-ObservationType (preferred)
