Australia

Australia's National Clinical Terminology Service is based on the FHIR Terminology Subsystem. For details refer to https://www.healthterminologies.gov.au/.

Canada

Canada has an InfoCentral page that gathers FHIR information which is freely accessible through an account. On that page you can find the link to the FHIR Community that is quite active.

Canada also has a tool called the terminology gateway - a web based solution framework enabling the distribution and sharing of terminology concepts, subsets and concept maps, making them available for web browsing, download or real time query.

Canada Health Infoway has also launched the Canadian FHIR Registry, which is powered by the Simplifier.net platform (a web solution built by Furore).

  1. To start the ball rolling, I have shared a draft discussion document here, that was completed last year, that proposes

    • (a) an approach to using SNOMED CT to represent the meaning of elements in FHIR resources, and 
    • (b) a process for reviewing SNOMED CT value sets bound to FHIR resources.

    Please feel free to share any other resources or links you have that contribute to the topic of using SNOMED with FHIR.

  2. Also, Australia's National Clinical Terminology Service is based on the FHIR Terminology Subsystem.

    Details can be found here: https://www.healthterminologies.gov.au/

  3. Does anyone have Reference Sets and/or FHIR Value Sets containing SCT post-coordinated concepts that they are willing to share with the group?
