Description
C-CDA stipulates the use of an NCI value set for medication route. FHIR US Core MedicationRequest has only the base example SNOMED CT binding. If data is received from FHIR implementers using SNOMED CT values, representation in C-CDA will require translation. While CDA "CD.translation" values may support semantics, they will clutter the provider view. We recommend adopting the NCI route value set in US Core.
We further recommend that Immunization route codes also adopt values from NCIT, or at a minimum that a concept map be published to support deterministic translation.
