Code | Display | Definition |
has-member | Has Member | This observation is a group observation (e.g. a battery, a panel of tests, a set of vital sign measurements) that includes the target as a member of the group. |
derived-from | Derived From | The target resource (Observation or QuestionnaireResponse) is part of the information from which this observation value is derived. (e.g. calculated anion gap, Apgar score) NOTE: "derived-from" is the only logical choice when referencing QuestionnaireResponse. |
sequel-to | Sequel To | This observation follows the target observation (e.g. timed tests such as Glucose Tolerance Test). |
replaces | Replaces | This observation replaces a previous observation (i.e. a revised value). The target observation is now obsolete. |
qualified-by | Qualified By | The value of the target observation qualifies (refines) the semantics of the source observation (e.g. a lipemia measure target from a plasma measure). |
interfered-by | Interfered By | The value of the target observation interferes (degrades quality, or prevents valid observation) with the semantics of the source observation (e.g. a hemolysis measure target from a plasma potassium measure, which has no value). |

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. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies |
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 |
