code

A code that indicates the status of the concept. Typical values are active, experimental, deprecated, and retired

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

Code	Display	Definition	Status	Copy
status	Status	A code that indicates the status of the concept. Typical values are active, experimental, deprecated, and retired
inactive	Inactive	True if the concept is not considered active - e.g. not a valid concept any more. Property type is boolean, default value is false. Note that the status property may also be used to indicate that a concept is inactive
effectiveDate	effectiveDate	The date at which the concept was status was last changed
deprecated	Deprecated	The date at which a concept was deprecated. Concepts that are deprecated but not inactive can still be used, but their use is discouraged, and they should be expected to be made inactive in a future release. Property type is dateTime. Note that the status property may also be used to indicate that a concept is deprecated	deprecated
deprecationDate	Deprecation Date	The date at which a concept was deprecated. Concepts that are deprecated but not inactive can still be used, but their use is discouraged, and they should be expected to be made inactive in a future release. Property type is dateTime. Note that the status property may also be used to indicate that a concept is deprecated
retirementDate	Retirement Date	The date at which a concept was retired
notSelectable	Not Selectable	The concept is not intended to be chosen by the user - only intended to be used as a selector for other concepts. Note, though, that the interpretation of this is highly contextual; all concepts are selectable in some context. Property type is boolean
parent	Parent	The concept identified in this property is a parent of the concept on which it is a property. The property type will be 'code'. The meaning of 'parent' is defined by the hierarchyMeaning attribute
child	Child	The concept identified in this property is a child of the concept on which it is a property. The property type will be 'code'. The meaning of 'child' is defined by the hierarchyMeaning attribute
partOf	Part Of	The concept identified in this property (by it's code) contains this concept as a component (i.e. a part-of relationship rather than a subsumption relationship such as elbow is part-of arm
synonym	Synonym	This property contains an alternative code that may be used to identify this concept instead of the primary code
comment	Comment	A string that provides additional detail pertinent to the use or understanding of the concept

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
