Scope/domain statement for the code system

(Official or from HTA)

The IHE FormatCode code system with canonical URI of http://ihe.net/fhir/ihe.formatcode.fhir/CodeSystem/formatcode is defined to be the set of [FormatCode(s) define by IHE] (http://wiki.ihe.net/index.php?title=IHE_Format_Codes), for use with Document Sharing. This code set additionally includes, as deprecated, format codes defined by HL7 for some Implementation Guides. The HL7 codes are now managed by HL7. The set of IHE FormatCode codes was listed in HITSP C80 Table 2-153 Format Code Value Set Definition, but since has been updated. The use of the FormatCode specifies the technical format of the document. The FormatCode tends to reference the IHE Content Profile (Implementation Guide) that defines the use-case and constraints. The FormatCode is a further specialization more detailed than the mime-type. The FormatCode provides sufficient metadata information to allow any potential document content consumer to know if it can process and/or display by identifying a document encoding, structure and template. The set of codes is intended to be extensible.

    Jessica Bota can you please open the UTG ticket to get this one moved over to THO

  3. Caroline Macumber

    John Moehrke - Jess is ready to create the corresponding resources at THO to ensure the metadata is represented there correctly for this code system. Can you please give the information here a final once-over to ensure that it's correct. Jessica Bota will then create the UP JIRA ticket for tracking.

    Remember to update HTA — External Terminologies - Information – Code System Metadata Records Index (smile)

  5. Jessica Bota

    John Moehrke , please this page a final review. Once you approve of the metadata, I will add the code system in THO. Thanks!

  6. Jessica Bota

    John Moehrke , it seems this page is still awaiting your final review prior to being added to THO. Please take a look and we will add to THO if everything checks out. Thank you.
