FHIR Terminology Service for VSAC Resources API Available. NLM Tech Bull. 2017 Nov-Dec;(419):b16.
On December 18, 2017, the National Library of Medicine Value Set Authority Center (VSAC) announced the implementation of a Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) Terminology Service for VSAC value sets and code systems.
The FHIR Terminology Service for VSAC Resources is a RESTful API service for accessing the current VSAC value sets and supported code systems. This service requires a free Unified Medical Language System Metathesaurus License, due to usage restrictions on some of the codes included in the value sets.
