The HL7-FHIR Devices group are currently reviewing the DeviceMetric resource for FHIR v5. The resource includes a devicemetric.color valueset.
There is a very useful summary of the clinical value and potential problems of associating waveform and numeric data from clinical monitors with specific colors.
The discussion in the FHIR group related to use of a coded valueset to represent colors, as opposed to just an ordinal list of red, green, blue
etc
My question - is there a valueset in SNOMED that can be used as a reference? I searched but drew a blank.
