This page is part of the FHIR Specification (v1.1.0: STU 3 Ballot 1). The current version which supercedes this version is 5.0.0. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

This is a frozen snapshot of the FHIR specification created for the purpose of balloting the GAO implementation Guide. It includes draft changes that may be part of the future DSTU 2.1 release but further change is expected. Readers should focus solely on the GAO implementation content, and FHIR DSTU 2 for other purposes.

This is a value set defined by the FHIR project.
Summary
| Defining URL: | http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/focal-subject |
| Name: | Focal Subject Codes |
| Definition: | Example VS composed from SNOMED CT and HL7 v3 codes for observation targets: donor, fetus, spouse. As use cases are discovered more values may be added. |
| OID: | 2.16.840.1.113883.4.642.2.400 (for OID based terminology systems) |
| Copyright: | This value set includes content from SNOMED CT, which is copyright © 2002+ International Health Terminology Standards Development Organisation (IHTSDO), and distributed by agreement between IHTSDO and HL7. Implementer use of SNOMED CT is not covered by this agreement. |
| Source Resource | XML / JSON |
This value set is used in the following places:

This value set includes codes from the following code systems:
| Code | Display | |
| 83418008 | Fetus |
| Code | Display | |
| DON | donor | In some organ transplantation services and rarely in transfusion services a donor will be a target participant in the service. However, in most cases transplantation is decomposed in three services: explantation, transport, and implantation. The identity of the donor (recipient) is often irrelevant for the explantation (implantation) service. |
| Code | Display | |
| SPS | spouse | The player of the role is a marriage partner of the scoping person. |

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
| Level | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies |
| 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) |
| 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 |
