Have we agreed on a FHIR code system value for AIR?

@Michael Lawley is there an unsecured NCTS API to use to validate AIR codes?

view this post on Zulip Michael Lawley (Sep 02 2021 at 02:56):

I thought the NCTS only required authentication for licensed content (eg SNOMED)

view this post on Zulip Grahame Grieve (Sep 02 2021 at 04:12):

I'll have to investigate. I've never actually used NCTS

What I really want is to figure out how to get the NCTS content into the FHIR package distribution system

And on the subject of AIR, does anyone know where this came from? Shouldn't the codes have a property that differentiates them between stadnard and non-standard?

So, the API is unsecured https://api.healthterminologies.gov.au/integration/R4/fhir/ValueSet/australian-vaccine-1 and https://api.healthterminologies.gov.au/integration/R4/fhir/ValueSet?url=https://healthterminologies.gov.au/fhir/ValueSet/australian-vaccine-1 will both get you to the ValueSet resource, but $expand won't work without credentials because the code system (SNOMED) is protected.

Regarding packages and NCTS, have you looked at the syndication feed? https://api.healthterminologies.gov.au/syndication/v1/syndication.xml.

At the moment it seems to only include Bundles, but I believe there is a plan to include packages?

If you just want AIR, a couple of other options are:
https://healthterminologies.gov.au/fhir/ValueSet/australian-immunisation-register-vaccine-1
https://api.healthterminologies.gov.au/integration/R4/fhir/CodeSystem?url=https://www.humanservices.gov.au/organisations/health-professionals/enablers/air-vaccine-code-formats

Hi @Grahame Grieve,
just came across this result in 'qa.html' of the FHIR IG Publisher, while working on an example for "https://build.fhir.org/ig/hl7au/au-fhir-base/StructureDefinition-au-immunization.html" involving the airVaccineCode slice of the vaccineCode element

When I added one of the Standard Vaccine code (ADCL --- Adacel ) from https://www.humanservices.gov.au/organisations/health-professionals/enablers/air-vaccine-code-formats the Publisher did not threw an error. Screenshot-2022-02-11-111830.png

But when I added a code from the Non-standard vaccine list (ASTCOV --- AstraZeneca COVISHIELD) the IG Publisher threw an error. Screenshot-2022-02-11-095508.png

But both the standard and non-standard code are as per https://healthterminologies.gov.au/fhir/ValueSet/australian-immunisation-register-vaccine-1.

So does it mean that the publisher is validating these codes, but then why it is giving an error for the non-standard vaccine codes?

it means that the version of AIR that the terminology server runs on needs updating. PRs are welcome - see https://github.com/FHIR/packages/blob/master/packages/fhir.tx.support.r4/package/CodeSystem-AIR.json
