This value set contains 21 concepts
| System | Code | Display (en) | Definition | JSON | XML |
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-purpose-type | treatment | Treatment Study | One or more interventions are being evaluated for treating a disease, syndrome, or condition. | ||
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-purpose-type | prevention | Prevention Study | One or more interventions are being evaluated for preventing the development of a disease or condition. | ||
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-purpose-type | diagnostic | Diagnostic Study | One or more methods are being evaluated for use in detecting a disease or condition, typically in persons who have symptoms or signs of the condition. For example, a mammography to evaluate a palpable mass. | ||
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-purpose-type | screening | Screening Study | One or more methods are being evaluated for use in detecting a disease or condition, in people who do not yet show symptoms or signs of the condition. For example, a mammography every 2 years in a woman with no current breast concerns. | ||
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-purpose-type | supportive-care | Supportive Care Study | One or more interventions are being evaluated for maximizing comfort, minimizing side effects, or mitigating against a decline in the participant's health or function. | ||
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-purpose-type | health-services-research | Health Services Research | An investigation for evaluating the delivery, processes, management, organization, or financing of health care. | ||
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-purpose-type | basic-science | Basic Science | An investigation to increase general scientific knowledge, such as examining the mechanism of action (for example, physiology or biomechanics) of a disease process or intervention. | ||
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-purpose-type | device-feasibility | Device Feasibility Study | An intervention of a device product is being evaluated to determine the feasibility of the product or to test a prototype device and not health outcomes. Such studies are conducted to confirm the design and operating specifications of a device before beginning a full clinical trial. | ||
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-purpose-type | safety | Safety Study | One or more interventions are being evaluated for associated risks or adverse events. (Note: Risks associated with interventions are evaluated in Safety Studies, whereas risks associated with conditions or non-interventional exposures are evaluated in Risk Association Studies.) | ||
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-purpose-type | risk-association | Risk Association Study | One or more conditions or non-interventional exposures are being evaluated for associated risks or adverse events. (Note: Risks associated with interventions are evaluated in Safety Studies, whereas risks associated with conditions or non-interventional exposures are evaluated in Risk Association Studies.) | ||
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-purpose-type | efficacy | Efficacy Study | One or more interventions are being evaluated for how well they achieve their intended purpose, such as the ability to treat or prevent a disease, syndrome, or condition. | ||
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-purpose-type | pharmacokinetic | Pharmacokinetic Study | A study of the process or processes by which a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, or eliminated by the body. | ||
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-purpose-type | pharmacodynamic | Pharmacodynamic Study | A study of the mechanism of drug action, biochemical effect, or physiological effect of a drug. | ||
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-purpose-type | bioequivalence | Bioequivalence Study | A study comparing two drug formulations to evaluate similarity in pharmacokinetic effects to determine if they are therapeutically interchangeable. | ||
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-purpose-type | dose-response | Dose-Response Study | A study evaluating the relationship between the amount of a substance or degree of exposure and the resulting effect or biological response. | ||
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-purpose-type | pharmacogenetic | Pharmacogenetic Study | A study evaluating how specific gene variations affect individual drug responses. | ||
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-purpose-type | pharmacogenomic | Pharmacogenomic Study | A study evaluating how multiple gene variations affect individual drug responses. | ||
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-purpose-type | pharmacoeconomic | Pharmacoeconomic Study | A study evaluating the economic costs and value of a drug. This may include cost-effectiveness, cost-benefit, and cost-utility analyses. | ||
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-purpose-type | incidence | Incidence Study | A study that assesses the occurrence of new cases of disease, condition, or injury in a defined population over a specified period of time. | ||
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-purpose-type | prevalence | Prevalence Study | A study that assesses the proportion of members of a population who have a particular disease, condition, or injury at a specified point in time or over a specified period of time. | ||
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-purpose-type | prediction | Prediction Study | One or more methods are being evaluated for use in predicting the risk of a disease or condition. |
