Vaccination Target Disease ValueSet could be improved
Opened this issue · 2 comments
Raised as ballot issue for 4.1.0: https://jira.hl7australia.com/browse/FHIRIG-229
https://hl7.org.au/fhir/4.1.0-ballot/StructureDefinition-au-immunization.html
The Immunization.protocolApplied.targetDisease value set contains a large number of irrelevant codes | concepts, e.g. Abscess of Bartholin's gland, Abscess of right greater vestibular gland, Abscess of spinal cord caused by fungus ... etc
The ValueSet is defined as children of |Disease|, which includes diseases which are not the target of a vaccine as referenced in the title of the ValueSet 'Vaccination Target Disease'. This may be misleading.
Suggest improving the content of the ValueSet.
The list of vaccine targeted diseases in Australia are available on:
https://www.health.gov.au/topics/immunisation/when-to-get-vaccinated/national-immunisation-program-schedule. There would be additional content that is relevant for recording internationally.

I am happy for the Agency to design and propose an improved value set.
eVote: this issue does not have a specific proposal to improve the valueset nor project to provide; no specific proposal propose creating ticket and placing on hold
