Export Formats

Value sets that are dynamically bound to an implementation guide (via a template's constraint) are only included in the following export formats:

  • Excel
  • FHIR

Lantana Standard (XML)

The "Lantana Standard" XML format is a proprietary format developed by Lantana. This format is used by schematron for validating value set bindings.

Sharing Value Sets (SVS/XML)

The Sharing Value Sets (SVS) profile provides a means through which healthcare systems producing or consuming clinical or administrative data, such as diagnostic imaging equipment, laboratory reporting systems, primary care physician office EMR systems, or national healthcare record systems, can access value sets built from common, uniform nomenclatures managed centrally. Shared nomenclatures with specific derived value sets are essential to achieving semantic interoperability.
