4.3.1.982.2 Expansion

This expansion generated 11 Aug 2016

This value set contains 4 concepts

All codes from system http://hl7.org/fhir/codesystem-hierarchy-meaning

Code	Display	Definition
grouped-by	Grouped By	No particular relationship between the concepts can be assumed, except what can be determined by inspection of the definitions of the elements (possible reasons to use this: importing from a source where this is not defined, or where various parts of the heirarchy have different meanings)
subsumes	Subsumes	A hierarchy where the child concepts are "a kind of" the parent (typically an IS-A relationship.)
part-of	Part Of	Child elements list the individual parts of a composite whole (e.g. bodysite)
classified-with	Classified With	Child concepts in the hierarchy may have only one parent and there is a presumption that the code system is a "closed world" meaning all things must be in the hierarchy. This results in concepts such as "not otherwise clasified."

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
