This ValueSet is part of the Health Device Data Transfer specification (HDDT) which defines profiles, operations, and value sets for sharing data between medical aids and digital health applications (DiGA). Core of the HDDT specification are Mandatory Interoperable Values (MIVs). MIVs are classes of measurements that contribute to defined use cases and purposes of DiGA.

The ValueSet HddtMivBloodPressureValue defines the Mandatory Interoperable Value (MIV) "Blood Pressure Monitoring". The definition is made up from

• this description which provides the semantics and defining characteristics of the MIV
• a set of LOINC codes that define MIV-compliant measurement classifications along the LOINC axes component, system, scale and method

The MIV Blood Pressure Monitoring covers values from blood pressure measurements performed using oszillometric or auscultatory, automated sphygmomanometers. Measurements are performed based on a care plan (e.g., daily or once per week). DiGA use cases served by this MIV require blood pressure values that are accurate and therefore suited for therapeutic decision making.

The ValueSet for the MIV Blood Pressure Monitoring contains the LOINC code for complete blood pressure panel, but should still have the option to include additional code in future updates.
