This value set is used in the following places:
This value set includes codes from the following code systems:
http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-types
Code | Display | |
Patient | Patient | Demographics and other administrative information about an individual or animal receiving care or other health-related services. |
Practitioner | Practitioner | A person who is directly or indirectly involved in the provisioning of healthcare. |

Medical devices include durable (reusable) medical equipment, implantable devices, as well as disposable equipment used for diagnostic, treatment, and research for healthcare and public health. Non-medical devices may include items such as a machine, cellphone, computer, application, etc. This is the catalog description of a device (not the specific instance). |

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
Lvl | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organize codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information |
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). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract') |
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 |
Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
