1.22.2.1.479.1 AllergyIntoleranceCriticality

Estimate of the potential clinical harm, or seriousness, of a reaction to an identified Substance

This value set defines its own terms in the system http://hl7.org/fhir/allergy-intolerance-criticality

CodeDisplayDefinition
low Low RiskThe potential clinical impact of a future reaction is estimated as low risk: exposure to substance is unlikely to result in a life threatening or organ system threatening outcome. Future exposure to the Substance is considered a relative contra-indication.
high High RiskThe potential clinical impact of a future reaction is estimated as high risk: exposure to substance may result in a life threatening or organ system threatening outcome. Future exposure to the Substance may be considered an absolute contra-indication.
unassessible Unable to determineUnable to assess the potential clinical impact with the information available.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

LevelA few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
SourceThe source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
CodeThe code (used as the code in the resource instance)
DisplayThe display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
DefinitionAn explanation of the meaning of the concept
CommentsAdditional notes about how to use the code

In addition, this page will include mappings to HL7 v2 or HL7 v3 code where these have been defined.
