4.4.2.41 HL7 v3 Code System EntityClass

Vocabulary Work Group Maturity Level: N/A External Use Context: Any

This code system (http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-EntityClass) is defined as part of HL7 v3.

Summary

Defining URL: http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-EntityClass

Version: 2018年08月12日

Name: v3.EntityClass

Title: v3 Code System EntityClass

Definition:

Classifies the Entity class and all of its subclasses. The terminology is hierarchical. At the top is this HL7-defined domain of high-level categories (such as represented by the Entity subclasses). Each of these terms must be harmonized and is specializable. The value sets beneath are drawn from multiple, frequently external, domains that reflect much more fine-grained typing.

This Code system is used in the following value sets:

ValueSet: V3 Value SetEntityClassDevice ( A subtype of ManufacturedMaterial used in an activity, without being substantially changed through that activity. The kind of device is identified by the code attribute inherited from Entity. Usage: This includes durable (reusable) medical equipment as well as disposable equipment.)
ValueSet: V3 Value SetEntityClassManufacturedMaterial ( Corresponds to the ManufacturedMaterial class)
