Hi Finnie,

Great question and my apology for the oversight. We are aiming to host the subsets on Terminology Gateway agnostic of what HL7 standard and version is implemented (v3, different releases of FHIR etc). and to align with the guiding principles of the HL7 Value Set Definition document. Hope this answers your question.

Regards,
Smita

Hi Smita,

Could you please clarify what is meant by: "agnostic to any specific Terminology"?

Thanks

Dear All,

We are planning to publish Subsets on Terminology Gateway agnostic to any specific Terminology. In this process we are looking towards the HL7 Value Set definition document (link given below)and would appreciate the feedback on the document from the community. Please let us know your views and suggestions.

Hello All,

As discussed in HL7 Canada Community call today if you are interested in attending HL7 International Vocabulary group projects: Value Set Expansion (VSE) and VSD-compliant profile on FHIR Value set resource, meeting details and meeting notes can be found below:

Value Set Expansion project: The scope of this project is to define a standard that specifies what content belongs in a value set expansion, how that can be defined, how an expansion may be constrained for a particular use, such as the FHIR Expansion Profile.

VSD (Value Set Definition)-compliant profile on FHIR Value set resource: The scope of this project is to review the characteristics of a Value Set Definition (normative specification) against Normative FHIR resources. Create a profile for implementers to be compliant with both HL7 standards.

We are working towards aligning our Subset definition on Terminology Gateway with the HL7 Value Set Definition (VSD) specification ( Attached ). This project is currently in its analysis phase. Please feel free to reach out to us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., if you have any questions or suggestions.
