DiGA Toolkit 1.0.0: Structure and Mapping Definitions for Medical Information Codes
2.4.1.4.1 Code/Bezeichnung, Phase II - DiGA Toolkit 1.0.0 - MIO
Summary
This page presents detailed specifications for coding medical information and data elements related to Digital Health Applications (DiGA). It specifically defines how data should be handled using standard code systems like SNOMED CT and LOINC, and details the mapping process to FHIR.
Details
The document provides structural definitions for medical information elements under the title 'Phase II - DiGA Toolkit 1.0.0'. Specifically, it stipulates rules regarding the selection of codes (Code), the entry of free text for the designation (Bezeichnung), and the constraints these data elements must adhere to (Cardinality: required/optional, Conformity). From a technical standpoint, this specification recommends incorporating values from international standard code systems such as SNOMED CT and LOINC, emphasizing structured data handling. Furthermore, it explicitly details the mapping to FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources), showing how elements are expected to link through specific paths like `component.code` or `component.code.coding`. This serves as a standard specification document for promoting digitalization in German healthcare information systems, providing crucial technical basis for structuring data generated in clinical settings into a unified format (FHIR) to ensure interoperability.
