The Asset Library contains the refset definitions and publication options. Published or dev refsets can be populated and updated from this tool. A new feature was added to create FHIR ValueSet resources based on refset asset content.

Opening the Asset library will show lists of saved queries, authored refsets and external refsets on the left, a central assets list, and a right asset preview. The FHIR valueSet feature is available on the asset preview panel.

    Note: Edit FHIR button is enabled only for simple type refset assets with at least 1 member concept (either published or local)
     



2. On the modal window, define the valueSet type from the Compose include menu

  • Chose asset codes for extensional valueSets: this option will add the codes into the compose.include element.
