This is a code system defined by the FHIR project.

Summary

Defining URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/concept-subsumption-outcome

Version: 4.5.0

Name: ConceptSubsumptionOutcome

Title: ConceptSubsumptionOutcome

Definition:

The subsumption relationship between code/Coding "A" and code/Coding "B". There are 4 possible codes to be returned: equivalent, subsumes, subsumed-by, and not-subsumed. If the server is unable to determine the relationship between the codes/Codings, then it returns an error (i.e. an OperationOutcome).

4.3.16.272.1 Content

This code system http://hl7.org/fhir/concept-subsumption-outcome defines the following codes:

Code	Display	Definition
equivalent	Equivalent	The two concepts are equivalent (have the same properties).
subsumes	Subsumes	Coding/code "A" subsumes Coding/code "B" (e.g. B has all the properties A has, and some of it's own).
subsumed-by	Subsumed-By	Coding/code "A" is subsumed by Coding/code "B" (e.g. A has all the properties B has, and some of it's own).
not-subsumed	Not-Subsumed	Coding/code "A" and Coding/code "B" are disjoint (e.g. each has propeties that the other doesn't have).

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. 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
