This code system defines the following properties for its concepts

Code URI Type Description
notSelectable http://hl7.org/fhir/concept-properties#notSelectable boolean Indicates that the code is abstract - only intended to be used as a selector for other concepts

Concepts

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

Lvl Code Display Definition Not Selectable
1 group Group An item with no direct answer but should have at least one child item.
1 display Display Text for display that will not capture an answer or have child items.
1 question Question An 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 Boolean Question with a yes/no answer (valueBoolean).
2   decimal Decimal Question 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 Integer Question 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 Date Question with a date answer (valueDate).
2   dateTime Date Time Question with a date and time answer (valueDateTime).
2   time Time Question with a time (hour:minute:second) answer independent of date. (valueTime).
2   string String Question 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 Text Question with a long (potentially multi-paragraph) free-text entry answer (valueString).
2   url Url Question with a URL (website, FTP site, etc.) answer (valueUri).
2   coding Coding Question with a Coding - generally drawn from a list of possible answers (valueCoding)
2   attachment Attachment Question with binary content such as an image, PDF, etc. as an answer (valueAttachment).
2   reference Reference Question with a reference to another resource (practitioner, organization, etc.) as an answer (valueReference).
2   quantity Quantity Question 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.
