Naming systems, code systems, and value sets #7

Open danka74 opened 3 years ago

danka74 commented 3 years ago

Some of the sets using in these specifications contain identifiers rather than concepts, e.g. vaccine MAH organizations, vaccine medicinal products (debatably), and RAT tests (debatably). In the profiles I these would/could be represented as Identifiers. I do not know of an easy way to constrain a NamingSystem like a ValueSet constrains a CodeSystem. Is there a way (I've searched the documentation and Zulip without any luck).

Can you point to them? Maybe they should be a member of a CodingSystem. The ValueSet is the constraint itself, pointing to CodeSystem or another ValueSet. A ValueSet should also pick values from a NamingSystem, but FHIR spec says nothing, and you can't control the values in a NamingSystem (like "passport number").
