When migrating an application based on relational database, how to migrate those lookup tables: using CodeSystem resource? Or is it possible expose REST API from external system for these lookup data, so that a clinical resource can use these URI for code instead?

to do it properly, by CodeSystem.

Doesn't mean you can't provide a REST framework for the lookup tables, but we've declined to do that directly as part of FHIR. AidBox provides a Concept resource for this, behind the CodeSystem resource, but it's out of scope for FHIR

Thanks @Grahame Grieve , do we need to find an existing "CodeSystem" instead of our own version of lookup, say cardiac procedure code, no clue if there is such FHIR code standard for our lookups .
Grahame Grieve (Jun 16 2020 at 18:23):
no you make your own code systems for your look up tables

@Grahame Grieve thanks again!
