## Terminology

Page standards status: Informative

This page includes the value sets and code systems supported in AU Core.

AU Core does not define any unique terminology FHIR artefacts. Terminology supported in AU Core are published in AU Base, the base FHIR specification, HL7 Terminology (THO), or the National Clinical Terminology Service (NCTS).

Implementers are advised to take note that expansions of value sets visible in this guide may differ from expansions returned with a server using HL7 Terminology (THO) version 6.0.0 or higher.

### Value Sets

The following value sets are supported in AU Core, i.e bound as preferred or stronger to a supported element, element slice, or extension in an AU Core profile.

Column attribute descriptions are as follows:

- ValueSet: The title of the value set.
- Profiles and Extensions where used: The profiles and extensions that reference the value set.
- Available from: Where the value set is published.
