Terminology & Code Systems

Search, browse, and validate clinical coding systems

HL7 Workbench integrates 129 clinical vocabularies with code system metadata, OID registry lookups, and V2-to-FHIR concept mappings. These tools work together with the parser's terminology validation to verify coded values in your messages.

Terminology Search

Search across 17 curated clinical code systems (ICD-10-CM, ICD-11, ICD-9-CM, ICD-O-3, LOINC, HCPCS, ICD-10-PCS, UCUM, RxNorm, RxNorm Extension, RxTerms, ATC, NDC, SPL, CVX, SNOMED CT, MeSH) by code or name, or widen the scope to search every served vocabulary

Code Systems

Browse 642 code system definitions with FHIR URIs, OIDs, and HL7 v2 table mappings

OID Registry

Look up 6,700+ HL7-registered Object Identifiers with their maintainers

V2-to-FHIR Mappings

Navigate segment, data type, concept, and message mappings from the HL7 V2-to-FHIR IG

Terminology validation in the parser automatically checks coded values against these same vocabularies. It is on by default. Toggle it with the Server button in the Validation panel's toolbar, or under Settings → Terminology Server in the parser.
