HL7 Vocabulary FHIR Specification Updates

Description

This project will provide a home for curation, development and evolution of the FHIR specification related to the domain of vocabulary and terminology. This includes, but is not limited to the vocabulary resources (ValueSet, CodeSystem, ConceptMap and ExpansionProfile), the FHIR Terminology Service, and the use of terminology content (value sets and code systems) within FHIR, based on DSTU Comments and additional newly submitted comments from the community. In addition, as the Vocabulary Work Group deems appropriate and time availability permits, it may define FHIR resources, operations, extensions and profiles that are relevant (to the use of terminologies and maps) and are expected to be necessary to support consistent early implementations.

Misc Notes
2022 November: PMO un-archived project. Per RHausam: 2022-11-30: We voted today on the Vocab WG Co-chairs call to request that project 1247 be un-archived and reactivated. We need an active project for our Vocab WG activities on the FHIR specification - and other than a few updates that would be needed to make it current, this is the project that we originally intended for that (when Reuben and I created it) and it appears to still be pretty much exactly what we need. We created this project when we began the regular series of FHIR Tracker calls, where we do the work on FHIR as a separate subgroup, and that is how we are still continuing to manage the bulk of our Vocab WG responsibilities for FHIR specification updates. 2021 August: Vocab Work Group asks to close this project as this was set up for the FHIR tracker calls and it's not a project. PMO archiving. This project will not ballot directly. Instead, content will be combined with resources from other committees and will be jointly balloted as part of the next FHIR DSTU ballot (managed as a distinct TSC project).
