I have a SNOMED CT subset, and three extensional fields: display term (english and french) and a sort weight. I am trying to make this terminology available to an EMR pick-list through a FHIR Terminology Service. The display terms would be shown in the pick-list field and the sort weight would be used to determine how the pick-list GUI orders the pick-list values.
I’m trying to understand what the standard FHIR approach to this problem would be?
I have only ever seen ValueSet expansions contain the four fields: system, abstract, code and display.
"expansion": {
"timestamp": "2017-05-28T13:31:03-04:00",
"total": 221,
"contains": [
{
"system": "2.16.840.1.113883.6.96",
"abstract": false,
"code": "86080005",
"display": "BAtx botulism antitoxin unspecified"
} ...
Is it possible to extend those objects like so?
{
"system": "2.16.840.1.113883.6.96",
"abstract": false,
"code": "21911000087100",
"enDisplay": "BAtx botulism antitoxin heptavalent unspecified",
"frDisplay": "BAtx botulism antitoxin heptavalent unspecified",
"sortWeight": 5
},
Or perhaps there’s another resource type that is more appropriate to making lists of extensional content that are not the coded values themselves?
Thanks in advance for your help!
