Definition of ValueSet for Normal Histology Finding (R4)

Details

This page provides a reference definition for a standardized set of medical concepts (ValueSet). Specifically, it defines a ValueSet that references SNOMED CT and includes two codes: '165324008' (Biopsy result normal (finding)) and '309162003' (Normal histology findings (finding)). This ValueSet is provided in FHIR R4 format, ensuring a standard data structure for medical information exchange. This capability allows different systems to accurately exchange common concepts, such as 'normal pathological findings,' thereby improving interoperability. This definition contributes to the standardization of clinical data handling, particularly for biopsy results, which is crucial for Japanese electronic health records and healthcare IT systems. Structurally, it utilizes SNOMED CT—a large medical terminology database—as its foundation while narrowing down concepts for specific use cases. It functions not merely as a list of codes but as a collection of clinically meaningful data elements.
