This value set includes codes defined in other code systems, using the following rules:

  • Include these codes as defined in http://hl7.org/fhir/v3/Ethnicity
    CodeDisplay
    2135-2Hispanic or LatinoHispanic or Latino
    2186-5Not Hispanic or LatinoNote that this term remains in the table for completeness, even though within HL7, the notion of "not otherwise coded" term is deprecated.
  • Include these codes as defined in http://hl7.org/fhir/v3/NullFlavor
    CodeDisplay
    UNKUnknownDescription:A proper value is applicable, but not known.
    Usage Notes: This means the actual value is not known. If the only thing that is unknown is how to properly express the value in the necessary constraints (value set, datatype, etc.), then the OTH or UNC flavor should be used. No properties should be included for a datatype with this property unless:
    Those properties themselves directly translate to a semantic of "unknown". (E.g. a local code sent as a translation that conveys 'unknown') Those properties further qualify the nature of what is unknown. (E.g. specifying a use code of "H" and a URL prefix of "tel:" to convey that it is the home phone number that is unknown.)
    ASKUAsked but no answerInformation was sought but not found (e.g., patient was asked but didn't know)

The OID for the value set is 2.16.840.1.114222.4.11.837 (OIDs are not used in FHIR, but may be used in v3, or OID based terminology systems).
