Scope and Usage

This profile sets minimum expectations for the Procedure resource to search and fetch current or historical procedures performed on or for a patient. It identifies which elements, code systems and value sets SHALL be present in the resource when using this profile.

Main procedure and sub-procedures

In many cases more than one procedure are being performed during one encounter. Usually this means that one of the procedures is the main procedure and others are sub-procedures. Latter ones could be performed in supporting or assisting purpose (e.g. Anaesthesia) or their task is to describe how the main procedure was performed (e.g. using robot for performing the procedure). This conjunction between different procedures is done by using partOf reference. Examples of this can be found from Examples page.

Code systems

Code systems that are associated with this profile are listed in a table below. It is not required to use these code systems in every situation, but rather to choose correct code systems depending on a use case if nessecary. Some explanation of using these code systems can be found from the website behind the link. The Use column descripes the element in which that particular code system can be used in Procedure resource.

NOTE: While writing this profile SNOMED code system is not widely used in Finland since adopting the code system is still in progess. More information about the subject can be found on Terminology page. Nevertheless SNOMED codes SHOULD be used if possible in a faced use case.

THL toimenpideluokitus is based on Nordic Classification of Surgical Procedures (NCSP) which can be found in here.
