How can I make a local code if the concept that I have is not in a codeableconcept/ontology?
Tianlong Chen (Aug 17 2016 at 21:06):
How can I make a new codeable concept (what is the format)?
Lloyd McKenzie (Aug 17 2016 at 21:23):
You need to define your own CodeSystem and give it a URI, then you can define what codes you like in it. (Though in general, it's preferable to get the concepts added in an official code system if you can - you'll get more interoperability and more review that way.)
Robert McClure (Aug 18 2016 at 15:33):
@Tianlong Chen What concepts do you need? What domain? Perhaps we can help find what you need so you don't make something that only you can use.

If I already define the CodeSystem , how can I create a new page to discribe that CodeSystem?
yiwang (Aug 19 2016 at 14:39):
@Robert McClure Actually, we found there is neither example nor predefined code system for Sequence.quality.method, and Sequence.quality.standardSequence. @Xiao Luo is trying to implement these concepts , and he wants to know how to modify the build of fhir website locally to build a demo version of these change (i.e. where to add FHIR inner code system webpage? and perhaps examples?)
Thx

there's no need to build a modified version of the speciication for that. If you want to publish your code system, the easiest way is: author a code system resource, point the IG publisher at it, and then post the resulting output to a web site somewhere

@yiwang Have you contact Clinical Genomics WG?
Jeffrey Chen (Aug 22 2016 at 10:09):
The make any "new codes" available for FHIR, you better set up a server to suport CodeSystem and ValueSet first. Then you can use that as terminology server to serve FHIR requests. The worst case is to write those values in a meta data dictionary and encdoe that into your application.

@Yunwei Wang That's what gil is looking for : ). Thx for reminding.
Simone Heckmann (Aug 23 2016 at 08:06):
Ok, let me check if I get this right (I am currently in the same situation):
Say, I want to add some germany-specific codes to http://hl7-fhir.github.io/valueset-organization-type.xml.html
Steps:
1. I create a new CodeSystem "http://hl7.de/fhir/organization-type" that contains my extra codes.
2. I create a new ValueSet "http://hl7.de/fhir/ValueSet/organization-type", that includes both "http://hl7.org/fhir/organization-type" and "http://hl7.de/fhir/organization-type"
3. I create a profile for Organization where type binds to "http://hl7.de/fhir/ValueSet/organization-type"
Is that correct?
Simone Heckmann (Aug 23 2016 at 09:48):
...better to use import of the original organization-type ValueSet, rather than include of the CodeSystem, I guess?
Grahame Grieve (Aug 23 2016 at 11:52):
yes, and yes though the outcome is the same either way
