<p> The value set to instantiate this attribute should be drawn from a terminologically
robust code system that consists of or contains route of administration concepts.</p>
<p> Possible sources include:</p>
<ul>
<li> SNOMED CT - Children of SCTID: 284009009 "route of administration value"</li>
<li> ISO 11239 - Routes of administration</li>
<li> NCIt - Children of NCIt concept C66729 "route of administration" (note:
this covers SDTM and FDA route of administration concepts)</li>
<li> EDQM - Route of administration</li>
</ul>
<p> SNOMED CT is being used here as the example terminology.</p>
<p> Note: to avoid confusion with other attributes in this resource concepts that are
pre-coordinated with method and/or site of administration
(e.g. "intravenous infusion" where "infusion" is the
method or "IV into left subclavian vein" where "left subclavian
vein" is the site)
should not be used in this value set.
