This is a value set defined by the FHIR project.

This Code system is used in the following value sets:

  • SystemVersionProcessingMode (How to manage the intersection between a fixed version in a value set, and a fixed version of the system in the expansion profile)

How to manage the intersection between a fixed version in a value set, and a fixed version of the system in the expansion profile

This code system http://hl7.org/fhir/system-version-processing-mode defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
default Default VersionUse this version of the code system if a value set doesn't specify a version
check Check ValueSet VersionUse this version of the code system. If a value set specifies a different version, the expansion operation should fail
override Override ValueSet VersionUse this version of the code system irrespective of which version is specified by a value set. Note that this has obvious safety issues, in that it may result in a value set expansion giving a different list of codes that is both wrong and unsafe, and implementers should only use this capability reluctantly. It primarily exists to deal with situations where specifications have fallen into decay as time passes

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
