SNOMED-CT, Qualifier, Route of Administration Value
Okay, so for route the example uses the SNOMED-CT Route of Administration Subset.
Does that come with the version of snomed that is currently recommended to download and import?
Is this something you have to pay for?
Here’s another link:
https://healthdata.gov/dataset/snomed-ct-restricted-access/resource/076a6d6e-8eda-4ecd-a3a1-a0b9ec81b264
That brings you to a page that appears to let you download the subset but only up to 2015.
Let’s go a ahead and log into our UMLS account.
Also does it matter if we get the US edition or international?
Looking at this site it seems that the route of administration has a concept ID 284009009
http://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/SNOMEDCT?p=classes&conceptid=284009009
Go to classes->qualifier value → Route of administration value.
This one seems more comprehensive than the below two.
Not sure if it’s worth mentioning but there’s also a dose form administration method, concept ID 736665006
http://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/SNOMEDCT/?p=classes&conceptid=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.bioontology.org%2Fontology%2FSNOMEDCT%2F736665006
Dose form intended site:
ID 736665006
http://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/SNOMEDCT/?p=classes&conceptid=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.bioontology.org%2Fontology%2FSNOMEDCT%2F736665006
Let’s see which of those options was used in our chosen FHIR example
“Intravenous route (qualifier value) (Details : {SNOMED CT code ‘47625008’ = ‘Intravenous route’, given as ‘Intravenous route (qualifier value)’})”
Googling that took me to this page:
Which tells me it has a parent concept of intravascular route
with children of these 3 types.
If you go to its parent page you see it has a parent relationship of route of administration value.
Which itself is in the Qualifier Value class
