Looking for experiences with Columbia International eHealth Laboratory (CIEL) dictionary

Implementation - Implémentation
1

Are you are of any dhis2 implementation that is using the CIEL dictionary? We made some research and it could be a potential candidate for be reused in some implementations, but we would like to know from the community its own experience.

These are some notes about CIEL:

  • The Columbia International eHealth Laboratory (CIEL) dictionary is a shared open concept dictionary. It was previously known as the MVP or MVP/CIEL dictionary (MVP stands for Millennium Villages Project).

  • It is recognized as a Digital Public Good, and it is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY-4.0)

  • CIEL is available on Open Concept Lab (an open-source terminology management system, recognized as a Digital Global Good). It provides the content in a FHIR-compatible API in addition to JSON and CSV. See it on:
    https://app.openconceptlab.org/#/orgs/CIEL/sources/CIEL/

  • CIEL is mapped to multiple standard code systems such as ICD, SNOMED CT, LOINC, RxNORM.
