Topic: Validate Codings with no ValueSet
Lee Surprenant (Sep 19 2017 at 15:58):
is there any 'best practices' for servers to validate a Coding that is not defined by a ValueSet? I understand the validation would be system-specific, but it seems like a server should reject a CodeableConcept that has an invalid SNOMED CT concept (or expression) with a system of SNOMED CT. Is that level of checking being done in practice?

There will be a new operation in CodeSystem to validate code against a known system. Change is schedule in STU4.

thanks yunwei. any idea what folks are doing (if anything) for this in DSTU2/STU3?

There are different server implementation strategies. For FHIR test server, if you don't specify a value set, the server validate code on code system level. Here is an example: http://test.fhir.org/r3/ValueSet/$validate-code?code=301706005&system=http://snomed.info/sct
