Topic: AdministrativeGender v3 mapping

Hello, I've got a question about this value set mapping: http://hl7.org/fhir/cm-administrative-gender-v3.html. It shows unknown mapping to UNK, but UNK does not appear to be part of the destination value set (http://hl7.org/fhir/v3/AdministrativeGender/vs.html). Is it supposed to be? If not, how would one represent an unknown gender using that value set?
Lloyd McKenzie (Jul 27 2018 at 17:40):
Yeah, that's actually broken. UNK isn't part of the target value set. And there isn't an official v3 value set that includes both the administrative genders and the desired null flavor. Can you submit a tracker item? (Ideally our build process should be checking that the codes listed in the ConceptMaps actually exist in the expansions of the source and target value sets, which would have caught this issue.)
Jacob Kingery (Jul 27 2018 at 18:00):
Sure! I've never submitted a tracker item before though, can you point me in the right direction?
Lloyd McKenzie (Jul 27 2018 at 18:50):
Absolutely :) At the bottom of every page in the spec is a "propose a change" link. There's a one-time registration process where we try to confirm that you're a real human. After that you can submit changes whenever you find an issue.

Thanks, GF#17566 has been logged. Let me know if I messed up on any of the fields.
Lloyd McKenzie (Jul 27 2018 at 19:27):
Looks good. We have a triage process to fix things when needed.
