Topic: Recommended tool to create ValueSet for an IG

IHE has some profiling projects going on that need to create a ValueSet to include in the StructueDefinition as part of their flavor of an IG... To start with they want to pick a couple dozen values from LOINC and a bunch from SNOMED. These are specified in the use-case from a professional society specific to the use-case. What is the best tool to do this?

there are 2 choices right now:
- snapper at https://ontoserver.csiro.au/snapper2/index.html#/
- FHIR Toolkit (download from http://healthintersections.com.au/FhirServer/)

I have your fhir client... you mean that? I started to use it, but was unclear how to add well-known codes from SNOMED and LOINC

John Moehrke (Apr 26 2018 at 21:29):

so we used that to start... then they are editing the XML... and then need something to use to load it to validate that it is what they thought they did...

so the fhir tool kit can load it to validate - it will do expansions. there's not - yet - support for looking up codes in snomed and loinc. It's on my to do list but no one had asked....
