Is there any support for a custom grouper (or named ontology/hierarchy)? I don't see any way of differentiating (in ConceptMap and the terminology operations) between an official/persistent ontology and something that should only be used when requested. Forgive me if I'm butchering the terminology....
Chris Grenz (Sep 13 2016 at 15:41):
Use case is managing/counting procedures, diagnoses, medications, etc. with some pre-defined granularity, e.g. consider this set of procedures as components of X and only count the number of X's. With custom terminologies and/or custom hierarchies/sets.
Chris Grenz (Sep 13 2016 at 15:43):
Not expecting FHIR to count them, just to persist/exchange the ontologies and find records that match.

Sounds like value set to me... have I missed something? @Chris Grenz maybe you can say more...
Chris Grenz (Sep 14 2016 at 14:04):
valueset can only select a set of codes...i need something than can construct a purpose-built hierarchy. I'd like to be able to use the tree-walking functionality using a specified hierarchy
Grahame Grieve (Sep 14 2016 at 14:10):
I think you need to be more specific with an example...
Chris Grenz (Sep 14 2016 at 14:17):
ok...will put something together
Rob Hausam (Sep 14 2016 at 21:29):
agree, Chris - an example would be good
