Code | Display | Logical Definition (CLD) |
alternate | Alternate Code | The code is an alternative code that can be used in any of the circumstances that the primary code can be used. |
deprecated | Deprecated | The code should no longer be used, but was used in the past. |
case-insensitive | Case Insensitive | The code is an alternative to be used when a case insensitive code is required (when the primary codes are case sensitive). |
case-sensitive | Case Sensitive | The code is an alternative to be used when a case sensitive code is required (when the primary codes are case insensitive). |
expression | Expression | The code is an alternative for the primary code that is built using the expression grammar defined by the code system. |

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 |
