ValueSet: Radiotherapy Modality Value Set

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/mcode/ValueSet/mcode-radiotherapy-modality-vs Version: 3.0.0
Draft as of 2023-10-26 Maturity Level: 3 Computable Name: RadiotherapyModalityVS

Copyright/Legal: This value set includes content from SNOMED CT, which is copyright © 2002+ International Health Terminology Standards Development Organisation (IHTSDO), and distributed by agreement between IHTSDO and HL7. Implementer use of SNOMED CT is not covered by this agreement

Codes describing the modalities of external beam and brachytherapy radiation procedures, for use with radiotherapy summaries. This value set is the union of the teleradiotherapy and brachytherapy modality value sets.

Logical Definition (CLD)

This value set includes codes based on the following rules:

  • Import all the codes that are contained in Teleradiotherapy Modality Value Set
  • Import all the codes that are contained in Brachytherapy Modality Value Set
  • Include these codes as defined in http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-NullFlavor

    UNCun-encoded**Description:** The actual value has not yet been encoded within the approved value domain.

    **Example**: Original text or a local code has been specified but translation or encoding to the approved value set has not yet occurred due to limitations of the sending system. Original text has been captured for a PQ, but not attempt has been made to split the value and unit or to encode the unit in UCUM.

    **Usage Notes**: If it is known that it is not possible to encode the concept, OTH should be used instead. However, use of UNC does not necessarily guarantee the concept will be encodable, only that encoding has not been attempted.

    Data type properties such as original text and translations may be present when this null flavor is included.

Description: The actual value has not yet been encoded within the approved value domain.

Example: Original text or a local code has been specified but translation or encoding to the approved value set has not yet occurred due to limitations of the sending system. Original text has been captured for a PQ, but not attempt has been made to split the value and unit or to encode the unit in UCUM.

Usage Notes: If it is known that it is not possible to encode the concept, OTH should be used instead. However, use of UNC does not necessarily guarantee the concept will be encodable, only that encoding has not been attempted.

Data type properties such as original text and translations may be present when this null flavor is included.

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
