1.22.2.1.96 Value Set http://hl7.org/fhir/vs/route-codes

This is a value set defined by the FHIR project. Related v3 content: v3 Code System RouteOfAdministration.

A coded concept describing the route or physiological path of administration of a therapeutic agent into or onto the body of a subject.

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 route of administration concepts.

Possible sources include:

  • SNOMED CT - Children of SCTID: 284009009 "route of administration value"
  • ISO 11239 - Routes of administration
  • NCIt - Children of NCIt concept C66729 "route of administration" (note: this covers SDTM and FDA route of administration concepts)
  • EDQM - Route of administration

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 site of administration (e.g. "intravenous infusion" where "infusion" is the method or "IV into left subclavian vein" where "left subclavian vein" is the site) 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 2.16.840.1.113883.4.642.2.96 (OIDs are not used in FHIR, but may be used in v3, or OID based terminology systems).
