The USCDI applicable vocabulary standard for Sex is SMOMED CT. The table below provides implementers with a concept mapping between the US Core Sex for Clinical Use concepts and the corresponding SNOMED CT concepts. These SNOMED CT are supplied as additional codes in the extension. The Patient Example illustrates how to do this.
| US Core Sex for Clinical Use | US Core Sex for Clinical Use Display | SNOMED CT | SNOMED CT Preferred Name |
|---|---|---|---|
| female | Female sex for clinical use | 248152002 | Female (finding) |
| male | Male sex for clinical use | 248153007 | Male (finding) |
| specified | Specified sex for clinical use | 443859009 | Possible clinical finding (situation) |
| unknown | Unknown | 184115007 | Patient sex unknown (finding) |

Expansion based on US Core Sex for Clinical Use v6.0.0-ballot (CodeSystem)
| Code | System | Display | Definition |
| female | http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/CodeSystem/us-core-sex-for-clinical-use | Female sex for clinical use | Available data indicates that diagnostics, analytics, and treatments should consider best practices associated with female reference populations. |
| male | http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/CodeSystem/us-core-sex-for-clinical-use | Male sex for clinical use | Available data indicates that diagnostics, analytics, and treatments should consider best practices associated with male reference populations. |
| specified | http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/CodeSystem/us-core-sex-for-clinical-use | Specified sex for clinical use | Available data indicates that diagnostics, analytics, and treatment best practices may be undefined or not aligned with sex-derived reference populations. Additional information (usually, but not always, in the form of comments and/or observations) is available, but does not align with male sex for clinical use or female sex for clinical use. |
| unknown | http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/CodeSystem/us-core-sex-for-clinical-use | Unknown | No information can be provided. |
Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
| Level | A 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 |
| System | The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere) |
| Code | The code (used as the code in the resource instance) |
| Display | The 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 |
| Definition | An explanation of the meaning of the concept |
| Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
