4.3.16.7.1 Content

This code system http://hl7.org/fhir/definition-resource-types defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
ActivityDefinition ActivityDefinitionThis resource allows for the definition of some activity to be performed, independent of a particular patient, practitioner, or other performance context.
EventDefinition EventDefinitionThe EventDefinition resource provides a reusable description of when a particular event can occur.
