1.22.2.1.95 Value Set http://hl7.org/fhir/vs/approach-site-codes

This is a value set defined by the FHIR project.

A coded concept describing the site location the medicine enters into or onto the body

Detailed Descriptions: XML or JSON.

The value set to instantiate this attribute should be drawn from a terminologically robust code system that consists of or contains site of administration concepts.

Possible sources include:

  • SNOMED CT - selected children of SCTID:91723000 "anatomical structure" (note: there would need to be considerable selection of concepts as the full child subset would be too big and too detailed for use)
  • ISO 11239 - Intended site
  • NCIt - selected children of NCIt concept C74444456 "anatomical location" (note: this is the SDTM location concepts; it would also need subsetting to provide a useable set of medication administration) Note: to avoid confusion with other attributes in this resource concepts that are pre-coordinated with method and/or route of administration (e.g. "rub into left hand" where "rub in" is the method or "IV into left subclavian vein" where "IV" is the route) should not be used in this value set

SNOMED CT is being used here as the example terminology.

Note: to avoid confusion with other attributes in this resource concepts that are pre-coordinated with method and/or route of administration (e.g. "rub into left hand" where "rub in" is the method or "IV into left subclavian vein" where "IV" is the route) should not be used in this value set

This value set could not be expanded by the publication tooling: Error sending HTTP Post/Put Payload

This value set is used in the following places:

The OID for the value set is 2.16.840.1.113883.4.642.2.95 (OIDs are not used in FHIR, but may be used in v3, or OID based terminology systems).
