Topic: FHIR ValueSet "broken" by SNOMED concept retirement
Michael Lawley (Sep 09 2019 at 02:09):
As @David Hay pointed out to me this morning, the ValueSet http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/medication-form-codes no longer works with the latest SNOMED International release because it's defined in terms of 421967003|Drug dose form| which has been (correctly, I believe) retired as ambiguous. I suspect the correct code to use is instead 736542009| Pharmaceutical dose form|
Melva Peters (Sep 09 2019 at 02:20):
This has been fixed in the current build.
David Hay (Sep 09 2019 at 20:53):
Still getting an error here: http://build.fhir.org/valueset-medication-form-codes.html . (code not found)...
Melva Peters (Sep 09 2019 at 21:58):
What code are you looking for and what version are you look at? Snomed made some revisions to their hierarchies and removed lots of codes. That's why we changed the binding
Michael Lawley (Sep 10 2019 at 04:23):
This value set could not be expanded by the publication tooling: Error from server: The Snomed Concept 736542009 was not known
So I believe the build tool is using the July 2019 SNOMED International edition
Michael Lawley (Sep 10 2019 at 04:24):
(I should read fully before I post) The build tool must be using an older version (before 20180131 which is when this concept was created)
Grahame Grieve (Sep 10 2019 at 04:29):
@Rob Hausam what version are we currently running for intl snomed?
Rob Hausam (Sep 10 2019 at 04:30):
July 2019
Grahame Grieve (Sep 10 2019 at 04:33):
thx
Grahame Grieve (Sep 10 2019 at 04:34):
but the cache may be older than that; I always rebuild the cache from scratch before I publish a milestone, but we can delete things from the cache if we need to check
Rob Hausam (Sep 10 2019 at 04:40):
not sure about that - are you referring to the build txCache files, or something else?
Grahame Grieve (Sep 10 2019 at 04:40):
well, for the man build, the vscache files. but they serve the same purpose
Grahame Grieve (Sep 10 2019 at 04:41):
they may contain cached expansions that predate updating the terminology server
Rob Hausam (Sep 10 2019 at 04:45):
ok - well, if the need to clear the cache isn't automatically triggered/flagged when the code system version is updated, that would be a problem
Grahame Grieve (Sep 10 2019 at 04:52):
it's not. that's why I clear the cache manually before publishing
