I see that codesystem supports the IS-A relationship through its child concept element, but how can we represent other relationship types such as "part of", "clinical specialty"or "finding site"?
Grahame Grieve (Apr 13 2016 at 00:40):
using properties
Heath Frankel (Apr 13 2016 at 01:47):
In CTS2, properties are distinct from concept associations (relationships)
Heath Frankel (Apr 13 2016 at 01:47):
Concept associations are between two concepts
Heath Frankel (Apr 13 2016 at 01:47):
Properties is just a property value associate with a single concept
Lloyd McKenzie (Apr 13 2016 at 02:27):
So you'd map all properties with a type of Coding that have the same system as the originating code as associations and everything else as properties then. It was lower overhead to avoid making the distinction in FHIR.
Heath Frankel (Apr 13 2016 at 02:30):
Are there any examples of this?
Lloyd McKenzie (Apr 13 2016 at 03:15):
Examples of converting between CTS and FHIR? I think so, but I don't know any details
Grahame Grieve (Apr 13 2016 at 06:03):
Heath, no, no examples yet
