This value set contains 9 concepts
| Code | System | Display | Definition | 
| eq | http://hl7.org/fhir/search-comparator | Equals | the value for the parameter in the resource is equal to the provided value. | 
| ne | http://hl7.org/fhir/search-comparator | Not Equals | the value for the parameter in the resource is not equal to the provided value. | 
| gt | http://hl7.org/fhir/search-comparator | Greater Than | the value for the parameter in the resource is greater than the provided value. | 
| lt | http://hl7.org/fhir/search-comparator | Less Than | the value for the parameter in the resource is less than the provided value. | 
| ge | http://hl7.org/fhir/search-comparator | Greater or Equals | the value for the parameter in the resource is greater or equal to the provided value. | 
| le | http://hl7.org/fhir/search-comparator | Less of Equal | the value for the parameter in the resource is less or equal to the provided value. | 
| sa | http://hl7.org/fhir/search-comparator | Starts After | the value for the parameter in the resource starts after the provided value. | 
| eb | http://hl7.org/fhir/search-comparator | Ends Before | the value for the parameter in the resource ends before the provided value. |

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 |
