Concepts

This case-sensitive code system http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type defines the following codes in a Is-A hierarchy:

LvlCodeDisplayDefinitionNot SelectableCopy
1 group Group An item with no direct answer but should have at least one child item. btn btn
1 display Display Text for display that will not capture an answer or have child items. btn btn
1 question Question An item that defines a specific answer to be captured, and which may have child items. (the answer provided in the QuestionnaireResponse should be of the defined datatype). true btn btn
2   boolean Boolean Question with a yes/no answer (valueBoolean). btn btn
2   decimal Decimal Question with is a real number answer (valueDecimal). There is an extension 'http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/questionnaire-unit' that can be used to computably convey the unit of measure associated with the answer for use when performing data extraction to an element of type Quantity. btn btn
2   integer Integer Question with an integer answer (valueInteger). There is an extension 'http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/questionnaire-unit' that can be used to computably convey the unit of measure associated with the answer for use when performing data extraction to an element of type Quantity. btn btn
2   date Date Question with a date answer (valueDate). btn btn
2   dateTime Date Time Question with a date and time answer (valueDateTime). btn btn
2   time Time Question with a time (hour:minute:second) answer independent of date. (valueTime). btn btn
2   string String Question with a short (few words to short sentence) free-text entry answer (valueString). Strings SHOULD NOT contain carriage return or newline characters. If multi-line answers are needed, use the 'text' type. btn btn
2   text Text Question with a long (potentially multi-paragraph) free-text entry answer (valueString). btn btn
2   url Url Question with a URL (website, FTP site, etc.) answer (valueUri). btn btn

(valueSimpleQuantity) There are two extensions ('http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/questionnaire-unitOption' and 'http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/questionnaire-unitValueSet') that can be used to define what unit should be selected for the Quantity.code and Quantity.system. btn btn

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
