## ValueSet: Route of Administration Value Set 

| | | |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| *Official URL*:https://fhir.dghs.gov.bd/core/ValueSet/bd-route-of-administration | *Version*:0.4.5 | |
| * Standards status: *[Informative](http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/versions.html#std-process) | [Maturity Level](http://hl7.org/fhir/versions.html#maturity): 1 | *Computable Name*:BDRouteOfAdministrationVS |

 
Value set containing route of administration concepts from the HL7 Version 3 RouteOfAdministration code system. 
This value set is used to code the route by which a medication is administered in MedicationRequest.dosageInstruction.route. HL7 v3 RouteOfAdministration is a license-free, internationally recognised vocabulary already embedded in the FHIR ecosystem. 
Concepts are loaded into the national OCL terminology server at https://tr.ocl.dghs.gov.bd under the MoHFW organisation. 
**Code system canonical:** http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-RouteOfAdministration **Binding:** required on BDMedicationRequest.dosageInstruction.route

 Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page: 

| | |
| :--- | :--- |
| Level | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies |
| System | The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere) |
| Code | The code (used as the code in the resource instance) |
| Display | The display (used in the*display*element of a[Coding](http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/datatypes.html#Coding)). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application |
| Definition | An explanation of the meaning of the concept |
| Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
