Manage clinical code systems

Code systems hold the terminology used for diagnoses, allergies, observations and orders, such as ICD-10. Clinicians choose concepts only from an approved release.

Add and import a release

1. 1Open HIS Administration → Code Systems. Each release shows its Uri, Version, Source and State.
2. 2To add a release, select New. Enter the Name, Uri, Version, Source and the License Reference, and the Effective From date. It starts in Draft.
3. 3Select Import Concepts, or open Import Terminology. Choose the Code System and Concept Type, upload a UTF-8 file, set the Delimiter, and map the Code Column and Display Column. Add Display Ar Column, Category Column and Parent Column if the file has them.
4. 4Select Validate (Dry Run) first. It reports what would be created, updated or rejected, with row numbers.
5. 5Select Import when the dry run is clean.
6. 6Open the release and check Concept Count, then select Approve Release.

Rules

• Concepts can only be imported into a draft release. To change an approved release, create a new version.
• A release without concepts cannot be approved.
• Only an approved release can be retired, with Retire.
• Only a configuration manager can import, approve or retire.
• Use View Concepts to browse the release's concepts. See Manage approved clinical concepts.
