Concepts This case-sensitive code system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/sex-parameter-for-clinical-use defines the following codes: Code Display Definition usage-note female-typical Apply female-typical setting or reference range Available data indicates that diagnostics, analytics, and treatments should consider best practices associated with female reference populations. male-typical Apply male-typical setting or reference range Available data indicates that diagnostics, analytics, and treatments should consider best practices associated with male reference populations. specified Apply specified setting or reference range Available data indicates that diagnostics, analytics, and treatment best practices may be undefined or not aligned with sex-derived reference populations. Additional information may be available in the form of comments and/or observations. The terms "Other" or "Complex" may be considered synonyms of "Specified". Individuals or systems providing care should either use default behavior that is safe for both male and female populations, individually review treatment options with the patient, or carefully inspect comments and relevant observations before proceeding with treatment. Systems that are unable to review additional information may manage a SPECIFIED and an UNKNOWN value in the same way.
