Details
This page presents the definition (R4) of the FHIR resource, ValueSet '2.16.840.1.113762.1.4.1182.314'. This ValueSet standardizes the concept of 'Left Against Medical Advice' and references SNOMED CT. Specifically, it includes two codes: 'Patient self-discharge against medical advice (procedure)' and 'Left against medical advice (finding)'. These definitions aim to structure information regarding discharge status (AMA) in clinical settings, thereby enhancing interoperability across different electronic health records and information systems. By handling specific clinical concepts using the FHIR standard, it improves the accuracy and reliability of data exchange. This ValueSet references SNOMED CT, an international medical terminology system, enabling structured information sharing based on a rigorous classification system, rather than mere text descriptions. This serves as an important example of data standardization applicable to Japanese healthcare institutions building EHRs or regional cooperation systems.
