This page is part of the FHIR Specification (v4.3.0: R4B - STU). The current version which supercedes this version is 5.0.0. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions . Page versions: R5R4BR4R3
not-present Not Present None of the concepts defined by the code system are included in the code system resource.
example Example A few representative concepts are included in the code system resource. There is no useful intent in the subset choice and there's no process to make it workable: it's not intended to be workable.
fragment Fragment A subset of the code system concepts are included in the code system resource. This is a curated subset released for a specific purpose under the governance of the code system steward, and that the intent, bounds and consequences of the fragmentation are clearly defined in the fragment or the code system documentation. Fragments are also known as partitions.
complete Complete All the concepts defined by the code system are included in the code system resource.
supplement Supplement The resource doesn't define any new concepts; it just provides additional designations and properties to another code system.
Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
Lvl A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organize codes for user convenience, but may follow
code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information
Source The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
Definition An explanation of the meaning of the concept
Comments Additional notes about how to use the code
