AU Base Allergy Intolerance [FMM Level 1]
This profile defines an allergy intolerance structure including core localisation concepts for use in an Australian context.
Note: The value set Indicator of Hypersensitivity or Intolerance to Substance is part of a staged approach to offering meaningful localised coding. There is significant redesign occurring in SNOMED CT content relating to allergies, adverse reactions and intolerances. Once the redesign is realised, projected to be 2019, a more focused value set reducing the clinical finding noise will be proposed.
NOTE: AU Base on STU3 included the extension Author as a Related Person which is now no longer required as direct R4 support is available as recorder (RelatedPerson).
Examples
Ibuprofen allergy, with a manifestation of urticaria
Self-reported allergy to eggs
