1.22.2.1.94 Value Set http://hl7.org/fhir/vs/administration-method-codes

This is a value set defined by the FHIR project.

A coded concept describing the technique by which the medicine is administered

Detailed Descriptions: XML or JSON.

The value set to instantiate this attribute should be drawn from a terminologically robust code system that consists of or contains method of administration concepts.

Possible sources include:

  • SNOMED CT - Children of SCTID: 107733003 "introduction (procedure)" (note: not all concepts in this subset may be suitable)
  • ISO 11239 - Administration methods

SNOMED CT is being used here as the example terminology.

Note: to avoid confusion with other attributes in this resource concepts that are pre-coordinated with site and/or route of administration (e.g. "intravenous infusion" where "intravenous" is the route or "rub into left hand" where "left hand" is the site) should not be used in this value set

This value set could not be expanded by the publication tooling: Error sending HTTP Post/Put Payload

This value set is used in the following places:

The OID for the value set is 2.16.840.1.113883.4.642.2.94 (OIDs are not used in FHIR, but may be used in v3, or OID based terminology systems).
