A skin condition is a disturbance of the organ skin caused by a source to be specified later on.
Purpose
Information on the skin condition is of importance for determining or continuing the required care. Specific expertise or materials can be facilitated in the event that a patient is transferred.
Any underlying medical afflictions causing the skin condition are not described in this concept but are recorded in the problem list.
Evidence Base
For the code list of the TypeOfCondition concept, we purposefully opted for a limited list. The reason for this is that there are many types of skin conditions that are almost always recorded as free text in the current situation. For this purpose, the concept offers the option to choose 'Other' in which the skin condition can be entered in free text. This code list can be expanded when skin conditions are recorded in a more structured way.

Technical specifications in HL7v3 CDA and HL7 FHIR
To exchange information based on health and care information models, additional, more technical specifications are required.
Not every environment can handle the same technical specifications. For this reason, there are several types of technical specifications:
HL7® version 3 CDA compatible specifications, available through the Nictiz ART-DECOR® environment
HL7® FHIR® compatible specifications, available through the Nictiz environment on the Simplifier FHIR
