Method Detail

isSupported

boolean isSupported(CodeSystem codeSystem)

Indicates whether the given code system is supported

Parameters:

codeSystem - the code system

Returns:

true if the given code system is supported, false otherwise

findConcept

CodeSystem.Concept findConcept(CodeSystem codeSystem,
                               Code code)

Find the concept in the provided code system that matches the specified code.

Parameters:

codeSystem - the code system to search

code - the code to match

Returns:

the code system concept that matches the specified code, or null if no such concept exists

findConcept

CodeSystem.Concept findConcept(CodeSystem codeSystem,
                               CodeSystem.Concept concept,
                               Code code)

Find the concept in tree rooted by the provided concept that matches the specified code.

Parameters:

codeSystem - the code system

concept - the root of the hierarchy to search

code - the code to match

Returns:

the code system concept that matches the specified code, or null if not such concept exists

getConcepts

Set<CodeSystem.Concept> getConcepts(CodeSystem codeSystem)

Get a set containing CodeSystem.Concept instances where all structural hierarchies have been flattened.

Parameters:

codeSystem - the code system

Returns:

flattened list of Concept instances for the given code system

getConcepts

Set<CodeSystem.Concept> getConcepts(CodeSystem codeSystem,
                                    CodeSystem.Concept concept)
