## QI-Core Terminology

This page lists all the ValueSets, CodeSystems, and ConceptMaps defined as part of the US Core implementation Guide. For more information on using codes in resources, see the guidance section as well as in the FHIR specification.

### ValueSet Resources

These value sets have been defined for this implementation guide.

ValueSet | Description
--- | ---
Reasons for refuting allergy or intolerance codes | The value set to instantiate this attribute should be drawn from a terminologically robust code system for reasons of refuting an allergy or intolerance. This value set is provided as a suggestive example.
RAND Appropriateness Scores | The RAND scoring for appropriateness of the procedure.
Precoordinated Body Structures | SELECT SNOMED CT code system values representing precoordinated body structures.
Communication reason not performed codes | Reason communication was not performed. A set of codes specifying the motivation, cause, or rationale of not performing a communication such as being rejected or refused. This value set is provided as a suggestive example.
Condition/Diagnosis Certainty | Example value set for Condition/Problem/Diagnosis certainty
QICore Condition Criticality | Value Set for QICore Condition Criticality (Example)
Disease Stage Value Set | A period or phase in the course of a disease, or the degree of involvement or severity of a disease. Stage acts as a qualifier for the condition.
Reasons for canceled or refused encounter codes | The value set to instantiate this attribute should be drawn from a terminologically robust code system that consists of or contains concepts to support the encounter process, in particular the process and reasons for canceling or refusing an encounter. This value set is provided as a suggestive example
SNOMED CT Qualifier For Type of Diagnosis Codes | This value set includes all the "Qualifier for type of diagnosis" SNOMED CT codes (i.e. codes with an is-a relationship with 106229004: Qualifier for type of diagnosis).
Flag Category Codes | Value Set for Flag Category (Example). This value set defines category codes for Patient Record Flags. Patient record flags is a mechanism in which an alert can be assigned to patients who have certain high risk clinical needs or behavior problems. Flags can be configured to appear during the patient look-up process.
Reasons for rejecting goal codes | The value set to instantiate this attribute should be drawn from a terminologically robust code system that consists of or contains concepts to support the goal process, in particular the process and reasons for rejecting a goal. This value set is provided as a suggestive example.
SNOMED CT Dosages Codes | This value set includes all the "Dosages" SNOMED CT codes (i.e. codes with an is-a relationship with 277406006: Dosages).
Negation Reason Codes | This value set defines the set of codes that can be used to indicate the reason an action was not taken
Body Position | SNOMED CT code system values descending from the following:'body position finding' 9851009
QICore Observation Delta Value Set Definition | Code indicating how the current observation compares to previous observations - e.g., no change, rising trend, decreasing trend, etc...
QICore Observation Verification Method | Code for method by which the observation result was validated, e.g., human review, sliding average.
Disability Value Set | Disability is broadly defined as a physical or mental condition that limits a person's movements, senses, or activities. This includes items such as handicap, impairment, invalidism, functional dependency, and incompetence.
QICore Present On Admission Codes | Value Set for QICore Present On Admission.
SNOMED CT Priorities Codes | This value set includes all the "Priorities" SNOMED CT codes (i.e. codes with an is-a relationship with 272125009: Priorities).
QICoreProcedureType | This value set includes example Procedure Type codes
Reasons for rejecting a service request | The value set to instantiate this attribute should be drawn from a terminologically robust code system for reasons of rejecting or canceling a referral request. This value set is provided as a suggestive example.

### CodeSystem Resources

See the FHIR terminology section for a complete discussion on code systems and a list of codes system names used in FHIR. The following additional names (URIs) have been identified for this implementation guide.

Code systems published in this IG

CodeSystem | Description
--- | ---
RAND Appropriateness Score Codes | The RAND scoring for appropriateness of the procedure.
QICore Communication Medium Codes | Value Set for QICore Communication Medium (Example)
QICore Condition Criticality Codes | Value Set for QICore Condition Criticality (Example)
QICore Diagnostic Order Precondition | The condition, state, or problem that the patient is in or has prior to a therapy or procedure. This captures temporal (temporary circumstances) that have bearing on the data that it qualifies but will not necessarily modify its meaning. Things like 'after activity', 'at rest', or 'post-op'.
QICore Observation Verification Method Codes | Code for method by which the observation result was validated, e.g., human review, sliding average.
