1.25.2.1.36.1 Content Logical Definition

This value set has an inline code system http://hl7.org/fhir/name-use, which defines the following codes:

Code	Display	Definition	v3 Map (EntityNameUseR2)	v2 Map (0200)
usual	Usual	Known as/conventional/the one you normally use	=C	~D
official	Official	The formal name as registered in an official (government) registry, but which name might not be commonly used. May be called "legal name".	=OR	~L
temp	Temp	A temporary name. Name.period can provide more detailed information. This may also be used for temporary names assigned at birth or in emergency situations.	=T	~TEMP
nickname	Nickname	A name that is used to address the person in an informal manner, but is not part of their formal or usual name	~P	~N
anonymous	Anonymous	Anonymous assigned name, alias, or pseudonym (used to protect a person's identity for privacy reasons)	~ANON	~S
old	Old	This name is no longer in use (or was never correct, but retained for records)	~OLD	<NOUSE <BAD
maiden	Maiden	A name used prior to marriage. Marriage naming customs vary greatly around the world. This name use is for use by applications that collect and store "maiden" names. Though the concept of maiden name is often gender specific, the use of this term is not gender specific. The use of this term does not imply any particular history for a person's name, nor should the maiden name be determined algorithmically.	=M	~M

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
