Topic: CodeSystem supplement examples
Jens Villadsen (May 28 2020 at 08:48):
Could an example of a codesystem supplement be added to the core spec that shows how an additional language is supposed to look like? @Grahame Grieve? I've seen this https://www.hl7.org/fhir/codesystem-example-supplement.html but that does not really help my users to understand the concept. I would like to have an example that eg. shows how a set of concepts are translated to danish, french or swahili

Sounds like a good idea. Please submit a change request @Jens Villadsen
Jens Villadsen (May 28 2020 at 14:27):
@Lloyd McKenzie done - https://jira.hl7.org/browse/FHIR-27745 . In the mean time, would you happen to know where I can find such an example?
Jens Villadsen (May 28 2020 at 14:32):
And what would the process be for using supplements in STU3? non existing?
Lloyd McKenzie (May 28 2020 at 14:44):
You'd have to use a modifier extension. I don't think there's a standard way.

@Jens Villadsen The German base profiles have an example (German translations of LOINC display values)
https://simplifier.net/Basisprofil-DE-R4/loinc-supplement-basis-duplicate-2
Explanatory text only in German, however.
Jens Villadsen (May 28 2020 at 18:14):
@Lloyd McKenzie makes sense
Jens Villadsen (May 28 2020 at 18:15):
@Morten Ernebjerg nice! Ill have look ASAP

Simple example value set of FHIR Bundle Types including German terms contained in a code system supplement...

... and what is the process once the supplements are identified and created. For my case, that is somewhat trivial where I don't expand the codesystem in the supplement but 'merely' provides a new designation. Would the flow/intend then be to do ValueSet expansions using eg. the designation as parameter in order to get the values in the wanted language. Is that correctly understood?
Morten Ernebjerg (May 29 2020 at 11:10):
That is what we did for our COVID-19 Questionnaire IG - we used a CS supplement to generate language-specific ValueSet expansions with display values in the right language, e.g.
https://simplifier.net/guide/Covid-19Pre-TestPatientAssessment/German3
We currently generate our expansions with custom code, so not sure how/if that would work with e.g. HAPI.
Jens Villadsen (May 29 2020 at 19:11):
Expand is supported by hapi, but i haven't tried it out with the designation parameters
