How to create a new value set

You will need to be able to log in as an author to add a new FHIR resource. Refer to the getting started section for more information.  

You may also find it useful to to watch a tour of the system's code system capability. You can do this by clicking on the code system tour button which appears in the middle of the screen.  

To create a new value set, you need to have at least one code system to provide codes for your value set loaded into your FHIR server. They can be local, standardised, or proprietary

1. Click the Plus sign on the left-hand side of the screen next to the FHIR value set. 

2. In the pop up screen, fill up your metadata and click Done. 

To learn more about metadata read the FHIR metadata resource value set.

3. You can include or exclude codes to the value set by specifying specific codes or by using filters. 

To create a new include or exclude parameter, use the include codes, exclude codes, include filters, or exclude filters

You will need to create a new parameter for each code system if you want to take codes from multiple code systems. 

To include codes or exclude codes you can manually enter the codes one by one in the table at the bottom of the screen to record the code and display.

Or search the code system using the search bar on the right. 

Once you find the code you are looking for, you can drag the code from the results into the table at the bottom of the screen.

You can import codes from a csv or tsv by clicking the import codes from file (csv/tsv).

A wizard will pop up to walk you through browsing for your file and select the file type, number of header rows, and the columns to be imported

To import or export filters, fill in the code system and the details of your filter. 

4.You can add any additional metadata you have in the additional metadata tab.

5. In the upload to FHIR server tab, you can:

• validate your value set
• download your definition or expansion of the value set 
• upload your value set 
• syndicate your value set (You will need to have approver permission to do this.)
