This page is part of the AU eRequesting (v1.0.0-ballot: R1 Ballot 2) based on FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) R4. No current official version has been published yet. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

Terminology

Page standards status: Informative

This page lists all ValueSets and CodeSystems supported as part of AU eRequesting.

Terminology supported in AU eRequesting is published in AU eRequesting, AU Base, the base FHIR specification, HL7 Terminology (THO), or the National Clinical Terminology Service (NCTS).

Value Sets

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

Work is underway within RANZCR to finalise the development of the Radiology Referral Set (RRS) with the aim of including all radiology procedures performed in Australia. The RANZCR Radiology Referral value set published in the NCTS is an evolving draft that is derived from the latest agreed set of concepts from the RRS. Implementers are advised to take note that concepts within the value set will continue to expand and evolve when further iterations of the Radiology Referral Set are available.

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.
