4.3.1.1003 Value Set http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/usrealm-birthsex

This is a value set defined by the FHIR project.

Summary

Defining URL:http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/usrealm-birthsex
Name:USRealm Birth Sex Value Set
Definition:Codes for assigning sex at birth as specified by the [Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC)](https://www.healthit.gov/newsroom/about-onc)
Committee:US Realm Taskforce Work Group
OID:2.16.840.1.113883.4.642.2.1003 (for OID based terminology systems)
Source ResourceXML / JSON

This value set is used in the following places:

4.3.1.1003.1 Content Logical Definition

This value set includes codes from the following code systems:

  • Include these codes as defined in http://hl7.org/fhir/v3/AdministrativeGender
    CodeDisplay
    FFemaleFemale
    MMaleMale
  • 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.)

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
