Introduction

This confluence page concerns a list of valuesets that we understand to be new to the FHIR specification (ie did not already exist as older HL7 valuesets); each of these valuesets is defined in FHIR as a FHIR-internal code system. The same code symbol (e.g. 'active') may appear in more than one different such valueset/codesystem but has a clearly different meaning in each which is expressed in each value's narrative text definition. Some of these code systems include an explicitly hierarchical taxonomic arrangement of the values they contain (e.g. Condition.ClinicalStatus, where relapsed is a subtype of active)

The VA and SOLOR are interested in being able to substitute SNOMED CT coded valuesets in place of the FHIR Internal codesystems, and so required a mapping.

It is, however, not yet clear whether the main benefit of having a SNOMED code is purely technical - it reduces the number of different codesystems required to enumerate all possible resource element bindings - or whether the link to SNOMED is also required to preserve, add to or otherwise clarify the semantics of each member of the valueset.

Note: There is another 'free' SNOMED CT codelist also in development for the International Patient Summary Specification, which is CDA R2 and FHIR incarnations. This free set would be used globally. Its a larger and more clinically focussed set.

Issues exists - feedback from HL7 required prior to work being done in SNOMED CT

Major differences between SNOMED CT and FHIR models

Design Choices for Valueset mapping

EITHER: Individual FHIR values are meaningless (or ambiguous) if encountered when detached from their original host resource (e.g. 'active' could be either a condition.clinicalstatus, or an allergy.clinicalstatus)

There is therefore no requirement for the SNOMED mapped code to add further semantics over and above being numerical codes for the words that are the FHIR symbols. Offering maps to e.g. members of <<106234000|General adjectival modifier| would be fine; if FHIR declares a disjoint and covering codesystem to comprise symbols {a,b,c} and these are mapped to {A,B,C} in SNOMED CT, then there is no requirement for A, B or C to exist in SNOMED as e.g. siblings of one another, or even all in the same branch of SNOMED's taxonomy, or for SNOMED to duplicate any original taxonomic arrangement of {a,b,c}. That information will remain encoded ONLY within the relevant FHIR code system as the reference. It may even be argued that it would be a mistake for SNOMED to attempt to precisely mirror the FHIR code system semantics.

OR: Individual FHIR value symbols are explicitly tied to a particular code system : although 'active' exists as a symbol in two different FHIR internal code systems, it has a different explicit narrative text meaning in both.

Therefore, the SNOMED mapping should attempt to preserve those distinctions and definitions. Most of these values therefore should NOT be mapped to any descendent of 362981000|Qualifier value| but rather to postcoordinated expressions (or new precoordinated codes) more precisely capturing the full semantics of each value's narrative text definition. For example, AllergyIntolerance.Category={food} should be mapped to 414285001|Food allergy (disorder)| and not to 255620007|Foods (substance)|; Condition.ClinicalStatus={recurrent} should be mapped to 58184002|Recurrent disease (disorder)| and not to e.g. 255227004|Recurrent (qualifier value)|

Valueset Mappings

22 Jan 2019: DK If all we're doing is looking for a word, then rather than pulling anything together then would we not be better having HL7 create their own concept within one FHIR specific subhierarchy

DetectedIssue.Severity - 3 concepts, mapped 2 Oct 2018, DONE

Possible home in << 272141005 |Severities (qualifier value)|

Discussion 22 Jan 2019: Mapping to qualifier values means that there is little context being supplied from SNOMED CT. That context would need to be supplied through the binding before meaningful reasoning could be performed.

HL7 ValueSuggested SNOMED TermDiscussion
High24484000 |Severe (severity modifier) (qualifier value)|

These values are inherited from V3. "High" does exist but in a different hierarchy - 75540009 |High (qualifier value)|

Severe does have a synonym of "High Grade"

Should we flag up this apparent inconsistency?

All these values are children of 272141005 |Severities (qualifier value)|

Conclusion: Mapping suggested here is sufficient (sufficient for what - use case required). 20 Nov

Moderate6736007 |Moderate (severity modifier) (qualifier value)|
Low255604002 |Mild (qualifier value)|DM - Could we also consider 62482003 | Low (qualifier value) ?

AllergyIntolerance.ClinicalStatus - 3 values (superficially similar to Condition.ClinicalStatus but without relapse and recurrent)

Conclusion: 22 Jan 2019 Use << 394731006 |Problem statuses and add new concept for Resolved Problem is our preference.

HL7 ValueSuggested SNOMED TermDiscussion
Active

394774009 |Active problem (qualifier value)|

JR suggests new sub-hierarchy for SCT containing disease activity to align with 370996005 |Patient condition resolved (finding)|

LB suggested use of << 394731006 |Problem statuses (qualifier value)| would need to add "Resolved". YG Notes that these are not in use and their use is not dictated by the MRCM.

DK suggested use of << 36692007 |Known (qualifier value)| again "Resolved" would be required.

JC suggested that we accept lack of context and allow use of << 106234000 |General adjectival modifier (qualifier value)| eg 55561003 |Active (qualifier value)|

Inactive

394775005 |Inactive problem (qualifier value)|

If we wanted the context supplied by << 394731006 |Problem statuses (qualifier value)| , then we'd need to add "Resolved problem" here.

Also considered 2667000 |Absent (qualifier value)| ? Doesn't really put over that a test was done and the absence of the allergy was proven.

"Definitely not present" doesn't capture the implied history of "we used to think this was the case". New concept required?

Dictionary defn of refuted is "to prove wrong" so possibly history is not implied, but convention is that there was some previous possible condition. But "Not Present" is clearer - is there scope for FHIR changing the value?

DM - could this be considered History of (contextual qualifier) (qualifier value) ?

22 January 2019: We're going too far with 420134006 |Propensity to adverse reaction (finding)| really for a category we're just looking for a textual label

Conclusion: It would be better for HL7 to create their own concepts here.  The ones we found have little value being little more than word matches.

Note this group would recommend not using this field in any event since greater specificity is possible by using Code.

PWI: This is actually the super parent of the previous two, so logical reasoning would be problematic.

With moving to 276339004 Environment we note that the child indicate this concept was originally intended to be used for something completely different.

biologic115668003 | Biological substance (substance) |

Asked Bruce Goldberg if he thinks additional concepts in SNOMED are warranted here. His response:

A similar question arose yesterday in the allergy project group call. Toni mentioned that 762766007 |Edible substance (substance)| might be going away in the future and this would therefore impact the modeling of food allergy and whether it would be useful to maintain this concept. I think that the concepts of food and drug allergy are so ingrained in the minds of clinicians and patients that they remain useful not only as groupers but may be documented when a patient has had an immediate reaction within minutes of ingesting multiple foods or medications and it is not clear prior to testing which specific food or drug is the cause.  Groupings pertaining to  food and drug allergy are also present in the substance, product and procedure hierarchies where they are useful as organizing nodes.

  • 387847008 |Food specific immunoglobulin E (substance)|
  • 411536006 |Food specific diagnostic allergen extract (product)|
  • 387851005 |Drug specific immunoglobulin E (substance)|
  • 388450003 |Drug specific immunoglobulin E antibody measurement (procedure)|
  • 388455008 |Food specific immunoglobulin E antibody measurement (procedure)|

I am less certain about the requirement for an environmental allergy grouper. Environmental allergy is somewhat vague as to what should be included under this term although it is often used interchangeably with inhalant allergy which usually refers to pollens, dust mites, mold and animal dander. Biologics could be included under drug allergy imo.


AllergyIntolerance.Criticality  2 concepts, mapped 18 Oct 2018

Discussion 5 Feb 2019: Happy with the words here, but SNOMED is not providing any context.  The context from FHIR is "How serious is the reaction, rather than how likely is the reaction" .    Possible values in << 272141005 |Severities (qualifier value)|

HL7 ValueSuggested SNOMED TermDiscussion

low

Display Term "Low risk"


62482003 Low (qualifier value)

or

723505004|Low risk (qualifier value)|

But very questionable whether (a) passing either of this pair 'adjectival modifier' codes is any more useful than passing the words 'low' and 'high;

and (b) the wisdom and clinical safety of passing a coded clinical statement stating 'high risk' that does not also explicitly include 'of what?'.

Would it be better/safer to pass as new clinical finding codes along the lines of 'high risk of adverse reaction' ?

Actually, the exact meaning of the original valueset is in fact not to grade the likelihood of an adverse event but rather of whether, should an adverse event occur,it is likely to be clinically significant one. A high probability of only trivial reactions would be graded 'low risk'. So passing only 'low risk' may be especially clinically rather ambiguous.

YG: If the qualifier values are used in a concept model rule, we need to be careful.

JC: All qualifier values need to be interpreted in the context provided by the information model OR the context provided by the concept model.

JR: Could potentially add concepts to SNOMED here.

Discussion 13 Nov 18- consider enhancing << 394731006 |Problem statuses (qualifier value)|  currently containing active & inactive.    This valueset does seem like its use would go beyond just that of FHIR and may have broader usage.

Condition.ClinicalStatus relates to the SNOMED CT Clinical findings model in a non-trivial way, hence the red color coding. E.g. parts of the value set is related to the clinical course SNOMED CT relationship type.

5 Feb 2019 - Agreement to raise with Jim for possible inclusion in SNOMED CT to discuss perhaps with Clinical Groups (eg Nursing).

HL7 ValueSuggested SNOMED TermDiscussion
ActiveNot Found

55561003|Active (qualifier value)| would be undesirable to use. Its just a code for the word as an adjective : having a SNOMED code would add zero value over the original string, and only marginally more than the more obviously ludicrous but entirely possible SNOMED CT encoding as the expression:

422097006|Upper case Roman letter A (qualifier value)|

PWI 6 Nov: I think it's worth doing two things routinely here, firstly including what the parent is (in this case 106234000 |General adjectival modifier (qualifier value)|) and secondly seeing where that concept is aleady used in SNOMED. In this case, no International concept uses this qualifier value.

..RecurrenceNot Found

263853000|Recurrent episode (qualifier value)| is in right neck of woods, as a member of SNOMED's Episodicities valueset, but other members of the HL7 valueset cross over into other aspects of disease phase rather than episodicity, so if a guiding map design principle were to be that all members of the valueset should at least be from the same SCT semantic category, then we'd need Findings for all of the values.

73425007|Inactive (qualifier value)| would be undesirable to use as its just a code for the word and so having a SNOMED code adds zero value over the original string.

277022003|Remission phase (qualifier value)|

18 Dec Discussion that the "remission" aspect has often been represented in SNOMED through hierarchical association to 765205004 |Disorder in remission (disorder)| rather than modeling using a qualifier value. Perhaps we should note this sort of thing as moving towards an attribute modeled approach would allow for reasoning against information model combined values at some point in the future.

Outstanding questions

Which descriptions will the free set include - None, FSN, PT (in what languages?)

What if SNOMED Concepts split into more expressive versions ie HL7 code would then map to multiple SNOMED CT codes.


GENOMICS

Sequence type

http://build.fhir.org/valueset-sequence-type.html

2019-04-30 Agreement that SCT should have procedures like 'DNA Sequencing', but where component being measured would be the substances but the Property would be their sequence.

But in that model, would not need the standalone notion of a 'DNA sequence'. You would have a procedure:property=sequence (property), component=nucleotide.

And we'd never issue individual SNOMED codes for each and every possible DNA sequence variant. So don't need the grouper.

Conclusion: RED - no semantic advantage in adding to SNOMED

CodeDisplayDefinition
aaAA SequenceAmino acid sequence.
dnaDNA SequenceDNA Sequence.
rnaRNA SequenceRNA Sequence.

Sequence Orientation

http://build.fhir.org/valueset-orientation-type.html

2019-04-30 Would not be happy to have an observable of 'Sense of sequence' which would inhereIn a 'sequence sense (property)', because don't have use case, and it violates the LOINC agreement.

No point having the sense|antisense values as Qualifiers on their own unless can also have the 'sense of sequence' observable, which the LOINC agreement precludes.

Also, if we did put in a sibling pair sense|nonsense, there is nothing that prevents the use of those adjectives in contexts entirely outside the context of genomics.

So to accurately replicate the more specfically limited semantics of sense|antisense in the specific context of use of FHIR, we would have to name them something like Molecular Sequence references sequence orientation sense|Molecular Sequence references sequence orientation antisense. Which would mean mirroring the entirety of the FHIR model into SNOMED, and so adding nothing.
