This implementation guide describes the central FHIR terminology services maintained by Health and Welfare Information Systems Centre. Main content is provided in English, more detailed specifications may occasionally be available only in Estonian.
Käesolev juhis kirjeldab keskseid FHIR terminoloogiateenuseid, mida haldab Tervise ja Heaolu Infosüsteemide Keskus. Juhis on kirjutatud eesti ja inglise keeles, kusjuures eestikeelne tekst on kohati põhjalikum ja detailsem, olles suunatud kohalikule arendajale.

Terminology server is a software with standard FHIR API for distributing terminology resources, validating concepts and display names, and querying terminology. Terminology server allows terminology users to consume the codes and value sets in a standard format without having to know the details of the underlying coding scheme and structure.
Estonian national FHIR terminology services are provided by Ontoserver instance hosted in TEHIK’s infrastructure. The national terminology server contains all value sets currently published in Publitseerimiskeskus, but also SNOMED CT Estonian+International edition.
Terminology server has a machine-readable output. Human-readable publication of terminology resources will be implemented in autumn 2023.
Ontoserver solution is developed by the Australian e-Health Research Centre, CSIRO. It provides standard FHIR API for maintaining and publishing terminology resources, and supports SNOMED CT, including Expression Constraint Language searches. Ontoserver licence was obtained through a public procurement process.
