Topic: USCORE DocumentReference.category code and display
Krishna Moorthi (May 12 2020 at 09:25):
Hello all,
I couldn't find the code value"clinical-note" which is defined in us-core-documentreference-category ValueSet(R4). Am I missing anything ?
"category": [
{
"coding": [
{
"system": "http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/CodeSystem/us-core-documentreference-category",
"code": "clinical-note",
"display": "Clinical Note"
}
],
"text": "Clinical Note"
}
],
Thanks

There is no single category code for "clinical notes". Clinical Notes on DocumentationReference is a collection of 5 category codes. https://www.hl7.org/fhir/us/core/clinical-notes-guidance.html
(update: url was pointing to build.fhir.org. Fix that to hl7.org)

The LOINC group could be used... right? is a group code a legal vocabulary? https://loinc.org/LG38750-2/

Right, the US Core presently contains a "starter set" of categories that are drawn from LOINC Part codes for the CLASS. Depending on what kind(s) of notes you have, you may want to distinguish other types and the other LOINC Part Codes (of Type=CLASS) would likely be a good fit.
There is ongoing work at Regenstrief to make structured links between the CLASS Part codes and terms across many types (lab, clinical measures, clinical documents, etc). But, here you can see how it works (in the LoincPartLink.csv file) for a Radiology procedure: Screen-Shot-2020-05-14-at-5.36.50-AM.png
