ValueSet Definition for Catheter-Related Concepts: Standardizing Foley Catheters
ValueSet '2.16.840.1.113883.17.4077.2.2063' (1) - R4
Summary
This page provides the definition of a FHIR ValueSet that aggregates multiple SNOMED CT codes related to indwelling Foley catheters. This ValueSet encompasses various types of male and female catheters made of silicone or latex, contributing to the standardization of medical information.
Details
This document serves as a reference page for a FHIR ValueSet comprehensively defining a group of specific indwelling Foley catheters. The ValueSet '2.16.840.1.113883.17.4077.2.2063' incorporates concepts from SNOMED CT, coding various types of catheters with different materials and balloon sizes for both male and female use. Specific codes included are detailed, such as 'Foley 10mL balloon 2-way all silicone male length urethral catheter...'. This definition aims to standardize concepts related to specific physical medical objects used in clinical settings, thereby enhancing the accuracy of data exchange in electronic health records and information systems. By linking with SNOMED CT, an international medical terminology system, based on the FHIR standard, it provides a mechanism for centrally managing and referencing catheter product groups. This serves as foundational knowledge for healthcare institutions to handle diverse types of medical device information in a unified format.
