Concepts

This code system http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type defines the following codes:

LvlCodeDisplayDefinitionNot Selectable
1group GroupAn item with no direct answer but should have at least one child item.
1display DisplayText for display that will not capture an answer or have child items.
1question QuestionAn 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
2  boolean BooleanQuestion with a yes/no answer (valueBoolean).
2  decimal DecimalQuestion 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.
2  integer IntegerQuestion 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.
2  date DateQuestion with a date answer (valueDate).
2  dateTime Date TimeQuestion with a date and time answer (valueDateTime).
2  time TimeQuestion with a time (hour:minute:second) answer independent of date. (valueTime).
2  string StringQuestion 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.
2  text TextQuestion with a long (potentially multi-paragraph) free-text entry answer (valueString).
2  url UrlQuestion with a URL (website, FTP site, etc.) answer (valueUri).
2  coding CodingQuestion with a Coding - generally drawn from a list of possible answers (valueCoding)
2  attachment AttachmentQuestion with binary content such as an image, PDF, etc. as an answer (valueAttachment).
2  reference ReferenceQuestion with a reference to another resource (practitioner, organization, etc.) as an answer (valueReference).
2  quantity QuantityQuestion with a combination of a numeric value and unit as an answer. (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.
