Operation Definition

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>


  
  
    
    
      
      
      
      
      
        Translate a code from one value set to another, based on the existing value set and concept
           maps resources, and/or other additional knowledge available to the server.

        One (and only one) of the in parameters (code, coding, codeableConcept) must be provided,
           to identify the code that is to be translated.

        The operation returns a set of parameters including a 'result' for whether there is an
           acceptable match, and a list of possible matches. Note that the list of matches may include
           notes of codes for which mapping is specifically excluded, so implementers have to check
           the match.equivalence for each match

      
      
      
      
      
        
          
            
          
          
            
          
          
            
          
          
            
          
          
            
          
          
            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              A canonical URL for a concept map. The server must know the concept map (e.g. it is defined
                 explicitly in the server's concept maps, or it is defined implicitly by some code system
                 known to the server.

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              The concept map is provided directly as part of the request. Servers may choose not to
                 accept concept maps in this fashion.

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              The identifier that is used to identify a specific version of the concept map to be used
                 for the translation. This is an arbitrary value managed by the concept map author and
                 is not expected to be globally unique. For example, it might be a timestamp (e.g. yyyymmdd)
                 if a managed version is not available.

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              Identifies the value set used when the concept (system/code pair) was chosen. May be a
                 logical id, or an absolute or relative location. The source value set is an optional parameter
                 because in some cases, the client cannot know what the source value set is. However, without
                 a source value set, the server may be unable to safely identify an applicable concept
                 map, and would return an error. For this reason, a source value set SHOULD always be provided.
                 Note that servers may be able to identify an appropriate concept map without a source
                 value set if there is a full mapping for the entire code system in the concept map, or
                 by manual intervention

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              A full codeableConcept to validate. The server can translate any of the coding values
                 (e.g. existing translations) as it chooses

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              Identifies the value set in which a translation is sought. May be a logical id, or an
                 absolute or relative location. If there's no target specified, the server should return
                 all known translations, along with their source

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              identifies a target code system in which a mapping is sought. This parameter is an alternative
                 to the target parameter - only one is required. Searching for any translation to a target
                 code system irrespective of the context (e.g. target valueset) may lead to unsafe results,
                 and it is at the discretion of the server to decide when to support this operation

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
          
          
            
              

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              if this is true, then the operation should return all the codes that might be mapped to
                 this code. This parameter reverses the meaning of the source and target parameters

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              True if the concept could be translated successfully. The value can only be true if at
                 least one returned match has an equivalence which is not  unmatched or disjoint

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              Error details, for display to a human. If this is provided when result = true, the message
                 carries hints and warnings (e.g. a note that the matches could be improved by providing
                 additional detail)

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
          
          
            
              A concept in the target value set with an equivalence. Note that there may be multiple
                 matches of equal or differing equivalence, and the matches may include equivalence values
                 that mean that there is no match

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              A code indicating the equivalence of the translation, using values from 
                
              

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              The translation outcome. Note that this would never have userSelected = true, since the
                 process of translations implies that the user is not selecting the code (and only the
                 client could know differently)

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
          
          
            
              

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              

            
          
        
      
      
    
  
  
    
  
  
    
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
    
      
      
    
    
      
      
    
  
  Translate a code from one value set to another, based on the existing value set and concept
   maps resources, and/or other additional knowledge available to the server.

   resource. If no ConceptMap resource is specified, then other additional knowledge
   available to the server may be used. 


 One (and only one) of the in parameters (code, coding, codeableConcept) must be provided,
   to identify the code that is to be translated.  

 One (and only one) of the in parameters (sourceCode, sourceCoding, sourceCodeableConcept,
   targetCode, targetCoding, or targetCodeableConcept) SHALL be provided, to identify
   the code that is to be translated.  


 The operation returns a set of parameters including a 'result' for whether there is an
   acceptable match, and a list of possible matches. Note that the list of matches may include
   notes of codes for which mapping is specifically excluded, so implementers have to check
   the match.equivalence for each match
  
  
  
  
  
  
    
    
    
    
    A canonical URL for a concept map. The server must know the concept map (e.g. it is defined
     explicitly in the server's concept maps, or it is defined implicitly by some code system
     known to the server.
    
  
  
    
    
    
    
    The concept map is provided directly as part of the request. Servers may choose not to
     accept concept maps in this fashion.
    
  
  
    
    
    
    
    The identifier that is used to identify a specific version of the concept map to be used
     for the translation. This is an arbitrary value managed by the concept map author and
     is not expected to be globally unique. For example, it might be a timestamp (e.g. yyyymmdd)
     if a managed version is not available.
    
  
  
    
    
    
    
    
    
  
  
    
    
    
    
    
    
  
  
    
    
    
    
    
    
  
  
    
    
    
    
    Identifies the value set used when the concept (system/code pair) was chosen. May be a
     logical id, or an absolute or relative location. The source value set is an optional parameter
     because in some cases, the client cannot know what the source value set is. However, without
     a source value set, the server may be unable to safely identify an applicable concept
     map, and would return an error. For this reason, a source value set SHOULD always be provided.
     Note that servers may be able to identify an appropriate concept map without a source
     value set if there is a full mapping for the entire code system in the concept map, or
     by manual intervention
    
  
  
    
    
    
    
    
    
  
  
    
    
    
    
    A full codeableConcept to validate. The server can translate any of the coding values
     (e.g. existing translations) as it chooses
    
  
  
    
    
    
    
    Identifies the value set in which a translation is sought. May be a logical id, or an
     absolute or relative location. If there's no target specified, the server should return
     all known translations, along with their source
    
  
  
    
    
    
    
    identifies a target code system in which a mapping is sought. This parameter is an alternative

 The operation returns a set of parameters including a 'result' for whether there
   is an acceptable match, and a list of possible matches. Note that the list of matches
   may include notes of codes for which mapping is specifically excluded (i.e. 'not-related-to')
  , so implementers have to check the target.relationship for each match. If a source*
   parameter is provided, the $translate operation will return all matches whereby
   the provided source concept is the source of a mapping relationship (in a specified
   ConceptMap or otherwise known to the server). If a target* parameter is provided,
   the $translate operation will return all matches whereby the provided target concept
   is the target of a mapping relationship (in a specified ConceptMap or otherwise
   known to the server). Note: The source value set is an optional parameter because
   in some cases, the client cannot know what the source value set is. However, without
   a source value set, the server may be unable to safely identify an applicable concept
   map, and would return an error. For this reason, a source value set SHOULD always
   be provided. Note that servers may be able to identify an appropriate concept map
   without a source value set if there is a full mapping for the entire code system
   in the concept map, or by manual intervention."/>
