AU Base Implementation Guide
6.0.0-ci-build - CI Build Australia flag

AU Base Implementation Guide, published by HL7 Australia. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 6.0.0-ci-build built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/steveswinsburg/au-fhir-base/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

Terminology

Page standards status: Informative

This page includes all terminology artefacts defined as part of AU Base and:

  • value sets that form part of localised requirements (i.e. referenced in an AU Base imposed constraint)
  • code systems referenced by those value sets
  • concept maps unique to those value sets and not listed in the base FHIR specification

Terminology artefacts used in AU Base 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

See the FHIR terminology section for a complete discussion on value sets and a list of value set names used in FHIR. Many value sets used in this guide are defined in the base FHIR specification.

The following value sets form part of localised requirements (i.e. are referenced in an AU Base imposed constraint).

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.

Concept Maps

See the FHIR terminology section for a complete discussion on concept maps and a list of concept map names used in FHIR. Most concept maps relevant to this guide are defined in the base FHIR specification. The following Australian concept maps are unique to this guide and not listed in the base FHIR specification. These are relevant to value sets that are bound to AU Base profiles.
