This page is part of the FHIR Specification (v5.0.0: R5 - STU). This is the current published version in it's permanent home (it will always be available at this URL). For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions . Page versions: R5 R4B R4 R3

4.8.23.2 StructureDefinition: ShareableCodeSystem

Terminology Infrastructure icon Work Group Maturity Level: 0Trial Use Use Context: Any

The canonical URL for this profile is: 

http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/shareablecodesystem

Enforces the minimum information set for the code system metadata required by HL7 and other organizations that share and publish code systems

Note to Implementers: All of the shareable, publishable, computable, and executable profiles will be migrating to the new Canonical Resource Management icon implementation guide as part of the next FHIR release. Implementers are encouraged to look there for updates, corrections and clarifications.

This profile was published on Thu, Jan 1, 1970 00:00+1000 as a draft by HL7.
