This page is part of the MII Implementation Guide Lungenfunktion (Pulmonary Function) (v2027.0.0-ballot.1: Release) based on FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) R4. This is the current published version. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

Value Sets

This page describes the ValueSets of the Lungenfunktion (Pulmonary Function) module (naming convention MII_VS_<Module>_<Name>). The module defines 32 ValueSets: 20 based on LOINC codes (mii-vs-lufu-lnc-…) for the measured quantities and the examination type, and 12 based on SNOMED CT codes (mii-vs-lufu-sct-…) for procedures, technique, location and findings. The complete list is available in the artifact overview.

Expansions: ValueSet expansions in this guide are produced by a FHIR terminology server — SU-TermServ if the client certificate is configured, otherwise the public HL7 server tx.fhir.org (in which case some KDS-specific ValueSets may not expand completely).

Terminologies used

SNOMED CT

SNOMED CT is used to code clinical concepts relating to pulmonary function diagnostics, including the indications for an examination, the type of procedure performed and the findings obtained.

LOINC

LOINC is used to code observations and results from pulmonary function diagnostics, in particular in connection with the DiagnosticReport profile.

ICD-10

The ICD (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems) is used to code diagnoses that may result from the assessment of pulmonary function. It enables the standardized documentation of respiratory diseases such as asthma or COPD and plays a central role in clinical documentation and billing. ICD-10 is published by the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM).

UCUM

The units of the measured values are coded via UCUM (among others L, L/s, %, kPa/(L/s), mmol/(min·kPa)).
