Creating a Code System
Creating Code Systems are managed by the controls above the Code Systems table
🚧To create a new Code System, please follow the steps below:
Define the Name
The Name is a short, descriptive, human readable name for the code system.
🚧To define the Name for the Code System:
Enter a Name into the Name input
Define the Domain
The Domain is a unique short name for the code system.
In HL7v2, this is the CX.4 portion of the code — example: CODE^^^DOMAIN.
It is also the short name that appears within internal HDSI view model payloads.
🚧To define the Domain for the Code System:
Enter a Domain into the Domain input
Define the OID
An OID is a universally unique identifier for the code system.
This is used in HL7v2 in the CX.4.3 portion of a code such as CODE^^^&2.25.XXXXXX&ISO and in HL7v3/CDA based transactions.
This should be one of:
An IANA Private Enterprise Number based OID
An HL7 Registered OID
A UUID expressed as
2.25.XXXXXXX
🚧To define the OID for the Code System:
Enter a OID into the OID input
After, you should be directed to the Edit Code System View.
Please see the Editing a Code System guide for more information.
