hi everybody!
I have been reviewing the documentation regarding CodeSystem. In my case, I am implementing the FULL version of SNOMED CT. What would be the correct approach for the implementation?
1 - Should I perform a bulk load of the codes into Medplum via the CodeSystem/$import operation? If so, is there a guide regarding the correct order and the specific fields that must be considered?
2 - Should I federate another FHIR server, such as Snowstorm? The idea is that when a CodeSystem/$lookup query is executed in Medplum for certain pre-defined systems (like SNOMED CT), it would proxy the request to the Snowstorm server. With this option, the codes would not be stored in Medplum. (My understanding is that the $lookup operation currently queries the internal Medplum database).
