EU Common Terminologies
0.3.0 - ci-build
EU Common Terminologies, published by HL7 Europe. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 0.3.0 built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/hl7-eu/hl7.eu.terminology.common/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions
This page provides a list of the FHIR artifacts defined as part of this implementation guide.
These define sets of codes used by systems conforming to this implementation guide.
| Body Structure Laterality |
Body Structure site laterality qualifier. It indicates the body site laterality from which a laboratory specimen is collected. (based on SNOMED CT) |
| Body Structure Qualifier |
Body Structure site qualifier. It indicates the body site qualifier from which a laboratory specimen is collected. (based on SNOMED CT) |
| Laboratory Certified Reference Material |
List of the coded concepts describing the certified reference material used for the calibration, typically used when the unit of the result is UCUM [IU]. |
| Laboratory Code |
Laboratory observation codes. List of Laboratory observation codes derived from the LOINC and NPU code systems. |
| Laboratory Code: LOINC |
Laboratory observation codes based on the LOINC code system. |
| Laboratory Code: NPU |
Laboratory observation codes based on the NPU code system. |
| Laboratory Order |
List of LOINC Laboratory codes of type 'Order' or 'Both. This value set is built upon the IPS value set 'Results Laboratory Observation - IPS' |
| Laboratory Report Types |
Laboratory Report Types. This version includes only one code as suggested by the eHN guideline. Category can be used for filtering per study type or specialty. |
| Laboratory Specialty |
Laboratory Specialties. Notes: Note 1: This value set is based on analysis of national coding practices in 8 European countries (AT, CZ, DE, FR, IE, IT, PT, SE) and agreed by involved lab experts as a common lab specialty value set. Note 2: Many European countries are using additional laboratory specialty types, which should be mapped towards this value set. Note 3: In case of documented need, this value set could be extended. |
| Laboratory Study Types |
Laboratory Study Types Notes: Note 1:26436-6 (Laboratory studies) enables issuing a report putting together observations from multiple specialties (disciplines) in the same text block, allowing delivery of a global interpretation comment at the end of the text block that will be rendered at the end of the report. Note 2:Mycology and parasitology, as well as bacteriology, are part of the 18725-2 (Microbiology studies (set)) studies. Note 3:Virology MAY be included in 18725-2 (MICROBIOLOGY STUDIES) or 18727-8 (SEROLOGY STUDIES) or split between both study types, depending upon the Content Creator Actor’s choice. |
| Laboratory Techniques |
Laboratory technique (method of measurement) used for the result measurement (based on SNOMED CT). |
| Results Blood Group - IPS |
Blood group [Type] |
| Results Coded Values Laboratory - IPS |
This value set is defined as the union of: (a) Blood group [Type]; (b) Presence/Absence Indicators (2.16.840.1.113883.11.22.52) (c) Microorganisms (2.16.840.1.113883.11.22.49) |
| Results Microorganism - IPS |
This is a value set of the SNOMED CT microorganism concepts for use in the Results section observation values. |
| Results Presence/Absence - IPS |
Presence/Absence value set |
| Specimen Additive |
List of the specimen additives. Additives are commonly added to the vacutainer tubes to preserve the specimen for laboratory analysis |
| Specimen Container |
List of the containers commonly used to collect specimens (e.g. urine, blood,..). |
| Specimen Types |
Laboratory Specimen Types |
| Types of species |
Types of animal species for non-human subjects |
| eHDSI Laboratory Study Types |
These define new code systems used by systems conforming to this implementation guide.
| ATC classification system |
Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification system |
| EDQM |
EDQM |
| EMDN CodeSystem |
European Medical Device Nomenclature |
| Laboratory Code: example |
List of local coded concepts used for supporting the examples defined in this guide. |
