Version:1.16.0
Name:ResourceIdentifierCS
Title:mCODE Resource Identifier Code System
Status:Active as of 2021-04-15T12:44:45+00:00
Definition:

Concepts describing instance types, to be used in the code element of instances. These codes were created because no appropriate concept could be found in established vocabularies. These concepts are analogous to LOINC codes for laboratory observations: they identify the type of thing an instance represents.

Please note that while these codes may imply conformance to the profiles that use them, they are not synonymous with profiles and do not serve the same purpose in a FHIR resource for several reasons:

  1. An instance of a resource like Group, Observation, or Procedure may conform to multiple profiles, but may only have one 'type of thing' as determined by the value of code (which has a maximum cardinality of 1).
  2. Procedure.code, Observation.code, and Group.code elements require a CodeableConcept data type, which can be satisfied with a code from this code system. In contrast, a profile is identified with a canonical URL, which is represented by a URI data type. In other words, a profile's canonical URL belongs in the meta.profile element, whereas the codes in this code system belong in Resource.code elements.
  3. The same code can correspond to more than one profile (although not the case here).

This code system http://hl7.org/fhir/us/mcode/CodeSystem/mcode-resource-identifier-cs defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
mcode-patient mCODE Patient Group ResourceIdentifies a Group resource containing mCODE cancer patients that conforms to the MCODEPatientGroup profile.
mcode-radiotherapy-course-summary Radiotherapy Course Summary ResourceIdentifies a Procedure resource that summarizes a radiotherapy treatment that conforms to the RadiotherapyCourseSummary profile.
mcode-teleradiotherapy-treatment-phase Teleradiotherapy Treatment Phase ResourceIdentifies a Procedure resource that describes delivery of teleradiotherapy (external beam radiation) and conforms to the TeleradiotherapyTreatmentPhase profile.
mcode-brachytherapy-treatment-phase Brachytherapy Treatment Phase ResourceIdentifies a Procedure resource that describes delivery of brachytherapy (internal or surface radiation) and conforms to the BrachytherapyTreatmentPhase profile.
