Topic: ECG Lead codes
Patrick Werner (Sep 16 2021 at 07:52):
We are currently creating a profile for ECGs. In the Observation Example the concepts for the leads are coming from: 2.16.840.1.113883.6.24 (ISO/IEEE 11073)

Are these concepts publicly available? International allignment for ECG shouldn't be so hard - but without lead codes it isn't possible.

found the ValueSet here: http://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/uv-pocd/ValueSet-11073MDC-metric.html

As I'm sure you are aware, ISO specifications and the code systems they describe are not free for use, but they are available :smile: to the public

Would LOINC ECG codes help?

Good point. I was assuming the request was to identify the leads as "the result" but of course, that does not make a lot of sense. Each lead is actually an observation with a result. @Patrick Werner how do you plan to use these codes?

these codes are planend to be used in Observation.component.code, value would be SampleData/Raw ECG lead data

Thanks for pointing to loinc, i thougt there weren't abstract lead codes included into loinc, but they are
