ValueSet Browser

The ValueSet browser (which is also available from the Resource Builder) allows you to examine a ValueSet, and in the Profile Builder to change it.

It has the following tabs.

  • Search. This displays a search form to find and select a new ValueSet (we'll look at the shortly).
  • Description. A summary of the ValueSet currently selected
  • Define. When the ValueSet is one that defines it's own options, then this tab will list those options. This is most commonly used when there is a small set of options that are specific to this element, rather then being derived from some external terminology.
  • Compose. This is when the ValueSet is composed of options from an external terminology - eg a subset of SNOMED codes. The compose can be quite complex!
  • JSON. shows the actual ValueSet resource in JSON format
  • Expand. Allows you to perform searches on the ValueSet. Useful for some the larger ValueSets - like Condition.code. This is the same filtering used by the Resource Builder.

The search tab allows you to select a new ValueSet

In the Resource Builder, this won't change the underlying binding

In the Profile Builder it allows you to select a specific ValueSet
