<p id="fhirInfo">
The FHIR Terminology Service for VSAC Resources is a REST API service for accessing the VSAC value sets and supported code systems. This service requires a free <a href="https://uts.nlm.nih.gov/uts/signup-login" target='_blank'>Unified Medical Language System<sup>&reg;</sup> Metathesaurus License</a>, due to usage restrictions on some of the codes included in the
value sets.
</p>
<p>The VSAC FHIR API is subject to change as we update it according to the developing <a
href="https://hl7.org/fhir/us/cqfmeasures/STU4/index.html" target='_blank'>HL7 Quality Measure
Implementation Guide (QMIG)</a> specifications and CMS requirements. Please refer to our <a href="https://cts.nlm.nih.gov/fhir/metadata">Capability
Statement</a> for full documentation of the VSAC FHIR API.</p>

<div class="tablet:grid-col">
<h3>Authentication</h3>
<p>Use basic authentication with your UMLS API Key. For
example, if you are using a platform such as Postman, choose:<br />
<strong>Authorization Type</strong> = Basic Auth; <br />
<strong>Username</strong> = apikey or leave it blank; <br />
<strong>Password</strong> = users actual UMLS API Key. <br />
You can find your API Key in the <a class="usa-link" href="https://uts.nlm.nih.gov/" target="_blank">My
Profile</a> area after signing in to the
UMLS. <br />
</p>
<h3>Additional Information</h3>
<ul>
<li>Using the VSAC FHIR API assumes your familiarity with the <a href="https://www.hl7.org/fhir/terminologies.html">HL7 FHIR Terminology Module</a> resources and the operations outlined in the VSAC FHIR Capability Statement.</li>
<li>VSAC value set identifiers must be specified as a VSAC value set object identifier (OID). Value set names are not unique in VSAC.</li>
<li>Due to performance and resource size concerns, VSAC FHIR does not display hierarchy information for <a href="https://www.hl7.org/fhir/codesystem.html">CodeSystem</a> definitions. Additionally, VSAC FHIR displays the complete code list only if the total number of code system codes is less than 1200. If the number of codes exceeds 1200, VSAC FHIR returns just one example code. You can explore each code system's full hierarchy and complete code list in the <a href="https://vsac.nlm.nih.gov/context/cs/codesystem/CDCREC/version/1.2/code/1000-9/info">Browse Code System</a> functionality in the VSAC web browser.</li>
