Suicide Risk Assessment ValueSet Definition: Standardizing Information via SNOMED CT Linkage

Details

This page provides specification reference information defining the concept of 'Suicide Risk Assessment' using the FHIR ValueSet format. The ValueSet is shown to reference the SNOMED CT system (version 20220301) and includes a specific medical procedure code: '225337009 Suicide risk assessment (procedure)'. The key feature is that it provides a standardized reference for handling concepts used in clinical settings, based on the standard FHIR data structure. This enables accurate and consistent exchange of information regarding specialized clinical procedures, such as 'Suicide Risk Assessment', across different EHR systems and health information exchange platforms. This definition contributes to the standardization and interoperability of medical information, providing a technical foundation for clearly positioning critical clinical processes in areas like psychiatry. It is a typical example in international healthcare IT trends of defining specific clinical concepts using major standards such as FHIR and SNOMED CT.
