This CodeSystem is part of the Health Device Data Transfer specification (HDDT) which defines profiles, operations, and value sets for sharing data between medical aids and digital health applications (DiGA). Core of the HDDT specification are Mandatory Interoperable Values (MIVs). MIVs are classes of measurements that contribute to defined use cases and purposes of DiGA.

The MIV HddtMivLungFunctionTesting requires reference values for evaluating measured lung function values. These reference values can be determined using different methods. This CodeSystem provides codes to express typical methods for determining lung function reference values.

This Code system is referenced in the content logical definition of the following value sets:

This case-insensitive code system https://gematik.de/fhir/hddt/CodeSystem/hddt-lung-function-reference-value-method-codes defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
personal-best Personal Best Reference value based on the personal best value achieved by the patient within a certain time frame.
GLI-2012 Predicted Value according to Global Lung Initiative 2012 Reference value calculated based on the Global Lung Initiative 2012 equations. I.e the patient's 'race' is considered.
GLI-2022 Predicted Value according to Global Lung Initiative 2022 Reference value calculated based on the Global Lung Initiative 2022 equations. I.e. a 'race'-neutral approach is used.
other Other Other method used to determine the lung function reference value. Specify details via text input.
