Definition:Identifies the purpose for this identifier, if known

Formal value Set definition : XML or JSON.

This value set defines its own codes:

This value set contains 4 concepts

1.22.2.1.13.1 IdentifierUse

Identifies the purpose for this identifier, if known

This value set defines its own terms in the system http://hl7.org/fhir/identifier-use

usual the identifier recommended for display and use in real-world interactions.
official the identifier considered to be most trusted for the identification of this item.
temp A temporary identifier.
secondary An identifier that was assigned in secondary use - it serves to identify the object in a relative context, but cannot be consistently assigned to the same object again in a different context.

This value set is used in the following places:

OIDs

Code System OID:2.16.840.1.113883.4.642.1.13
Value Set OID:2.16.840.1.113883.4.642.2.13
Note: these OIDs are not used in FHIR, but may be used in v3, or OID based terminology systems

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

LevelA 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
SourceThe source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
CodeThe code (used as the code in the resource instance)
DisplayThe 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
DefinitionAn explanation of the meaning of the concept
CommentsAdditional notes about how to use the code

In addition, this page will include mappings to HL7 v2 or HL7 v3 code where these have been defined.
