Another month, another release of new content to our NZ Health Terminology Service - find the May 2023 release note on this page:
The exciting new content is:
• NZPOCS April 2023 release
• All remaining NZIPS code sets
• Aotearoa Immunisation Register (AIR) draft code sets
• CVX and NZVX vaccination codes
• Iwi affiliation codes
• CanShare value sets (for each of the CanShare refsets in the SNOMED NZ April 2023 release)
Hi Alistair,
Is there a guide for how to access this stuff? I’m particularly interested in downloading the entirety of the NZPOCS April release. I’ve not been able to figure out how using the ONTOserver GUI or the shrimp or snapper tools.
I realise they are supposed to be accessed programatically but thought you could manually browse the API as well.
If you go to postman.com you can use that to make a GET request to the end points described for many of the endpoints just using the url. This should return the full dataset (you ca filter etc as well).
I agree I think there is definitely some onboarding and usability work to be done to help people come up to speed and get benefits.
Would it help if some of this content was also published to our GitHub site?
Jon
Thanks jon, yes that would help if there was some documentation of the basics of connecting and browsing around.
Just an update to the followers of this thread. I’ve succeeded in accessing the API and have a pretty Json version of the NZPOCS codeset. Thanks for your help, especially Jon and Steph Kerruish.
Happy to help - have passed your thoughts on to the product team.
Jon
