Code sets and code set bundles for clinical terminology
Key Takeaway
Store each code in its own Code Set record, then link the codes that mean the same thing with one Code Set Bundle record.
Healthcare organizations use standard terminology systems, such as LOINC, SNOMED, RxNorm and ICD, so that every provider reads a patient's clinical data the same way. Agentforce Health stores these codes in Code Set and Code Set Bundle, two generic objects aligned with FHIR R4. Both objects are built to store a wide variety of standardized codes.
Building blocks of terminology systems
Terminology systems are made of three building blocks. Agentforce Health has an object for two of them.
| What it represents | In Agentforce Health | |
|---|---|---|
| Coding | One concept as one terminology system defines it | Code Set |
| Codeable concept | Codes from different systems and versions that share one real-world concept | Code Set Bundle |
| Value set | Codes grouped by context, not by shared meaning | No dedicated object |
