Codes used in the congestive heart failure pathway. Ideally these shouldn't exist, but where I couldn't find an appropriate code in a standard terminology, I defined codes here.

This Code system is referenced in the definition of the following value sets:

  • This CodeSystem is not used here; it may be used elsewhere (e.g. specifications and/or implementations that use this content)

This case-sensitive code system http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/sdc/CodeSystem/chf-codes defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
body-weight-change Body weight change The change in body weight between two body weight measurements, in kg. Typically captured daily.
net-intake-output Net intake/output The net intake and output, in Liters per day. Typically captured daily.
measure-jvp Measure jugular venous pressure Measure jugular venous pressure in cmH2O
jvp Jugular venous pressure Jugular venous pressure in cmH2O. May be loinc#8595-1?
egfr eGFR result eGFR result in mol/mm/m2. Too many codes to choose from, needs clinical/terminological SME input
measure-egfr Measure eGFR Measure eGFR, could not identify SNOMED code for this
lasix-iv LASIX IV LASIX IV
lasix-po LASIX PO LASIX PO
