TF Vol 2 Patient Care CoordinationPage 188, chapter 6.3.4.21, "Vital Signs Organizer", sub-chapter 6.3.4.21.5 Categorizing information elements Categorizing information elementsRequiredThe Coded Vital Signs template requires the use of SNOMED CT code 46680005 (Vital Signs) as a fixed value to categorize observations to be vital signs.
For the actual code of a specific vital sign (Respiration rate, Heart beat, etc.) another terminology is used (LOINC).

<code code='46680005' displayName='Vital signs'
codeSystem='2.16.840.1.113883.6.96'
codeSystemName='SNOMED CT'/>
The <code> element shall be recorded as shown above to indicate that this organizer captures information about patient vital signs.

For the actual clinical documentation of the observation any terminology may used.

3/14/2012 22:33:04TF Vol 2Patient Care Deviceline 1808, 2130Coding clinical termsCoding clinical termsOptionalIn general in the PCD transactions, the preferred code for clinical terms is Medical Device Communications Nomenclature, ISO/IEEE 11073-10101. If no term in the standard fits, a term that is in the Rosetta Terminology Mapping and has been submitted for standardization is the second, choice, then by local agreement a LOINC term may be used, or, finally, if none of these is available and SNOMED CT has a suitable term, it may be used by local agreement. In the specific case of Universal Service ID, OBR-4, codes from SNOMED CT may be used optionally when they are deemed to give the best fit to the desired concept, but they are never required.John Rhoads

In addition IHE is based on DICOM as an underlying standard. As such we and many other IHE Domains make extensive use both explicitly and IMPLICITLY of many SNOMED-CT terms. This usage is covered under the DICOM-SNOMED-CT global agreement and as such wil nt be extensively documented herein !!!!Tom Doan
