4.4.1.337.3 Expansion

This expansion generated 26 Mar 2023

This value set contains 3 concepts

Expansion based on Linkage Type v5.0.0 (CodeSystem)

Code	System	Display	Definition
source	http://hl7.org/fhir/linkage-type	Source of Truth	The resource represents the "source of truth" (from the perspective of this Linkage resource) for the underlying event/condition/etc.
alternate	http://hl7.org/fhir/linkage-type	Alternate Record	The resource represents an alternative view of the underlying event/condition/etc. The resource may still be actively maintained, even though it is not considered to be the source of truth.
historical	http://hl7.org/fhir/linkage-type	Historical/Obsolete Record	The resource represents an obsolete record of the underlying event/condition/etc. It is not expected to be actively maintained.

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
