HL7 FHIR Implementation Guide: Military Service History and Status Release 1 - US Realm | STU1 Ballot
0.1.0 - STU1 Ballot

This page is part of the HL7 FHIR Implementation Guide for Military Service History and Status (v0.1.0: STU 1 Ballot 1) based on FHIR R4. . For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

Terminology

This implementation guide draws on a number of formal terminologies (code systems). Several guiding principles were applied in selecting terminologies for this implementation guide:

  1. Fit for purpose

  2. Conformance with US Core and FHIR

  3. Commonly used in practice and applicable to the requirements of this implementation guide

The following table presents the external code systems (and naming conventions) adopted in this implementation guide, and their primary purpose:

Code System Application FHIR IG Publishing support?
LOINC Observation and laboratory codes, answer codes Yes
SNOMED CT Disorders, body structures, findings, qualifiers Yes
HL7 Terminology Authority HL7 V2 and FHIR-specific codes including ODH Yes
SOLOR Military Service History Extension Domain specific concept and structural components for profiling Observation resource No, local code system representation
ODH Occupation, industry, and pay grade No, external reference

Key:

  • LOINC - Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes

  • SNOMED CT - Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms

  • ODH - Occupational Data for Health

  • SOLOR - Solor Project sponsored by the Department of Veterans Affairs and Logica Health

New code systems were created when no existing code systems were deemed fit for purpose. This implementation used SOLOR and its methodology to specify an extension for gap concepts intended to be added to LOINC and SNOMED CT:
