    Description

      In the HL7 Terminology Authority (HTA) meeting held on 10 June 2020 it agreed that the following note should be removed from the Terminologies page of the FHIR Core specification:

      UMLS Note: The UMLS includes many code systems that do not have an entry in the table below, or in the HL7 OID registry, or on http://registry.fhir.org. Until these code systems are registered, implementers may use the pattern http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/[SAB], where [SAB] is the lowercase of abbreviation of the code system as provided by UMLS. e.g. The system for "Multum MediSource Lexicon" would then be http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/mmsl. Implementers choosing to use this pattern should be aware that very often, when the code system is registered, it will use a different system.
