Terminology Infrastructure Work GroupMaturity Level: N/AStandards Status: InformativeCompartments: No defined compartments

This is the narrative for the resource. See also the XML, JSON or Turtle format.

Note that this is the formal definition for the subsumes operation as an OperationDefinition on CodeSystem. See the Operation documentation

Parameters

UseNameScopeCardinalityTypeBindingDocumentation
INcodeA0..1code

The "A" code that is to be tested. If a code is provided, a system must be provided

INcodeB0..1code

The "B" code that is to be tested. If a code is provided, a system must be provided

INsystemtype0..1uri

The code system in which subsumption testing is to be performed. This must be provided unless the operation is invoked on a code system instance

INversiontype0..1string

The version of the code system, if one was provided in the source data

INcodingA0..1Coding

The "A" Coding that is to be tested. The code system does not have to match the specified subsumption code system, but the relationships between the code systems must be well established

INcodingB0..1Coding

The "B" Coding that is to be tested. The code system does not have to match the specified subsumption code system, but the relationships between the code systems must be well established

OUToutcome1..1codeConcept Subsumption Outcome (Required)

The subsumption relationship between code/Coding "A" and code/Coding "B". There are 4 possible codes to be returned (equivalent, subsumes, subsumed-by, and not-subsumed) as defined in the concept-subsumption-outcome value set. If the server is unable to determine the relationship between the codes/Codings, then it returns an error response with an OperationOutcome.

 

 

Usage note: every effort has been made to ensure that the examples are correct and useful, but they are not a normative part of the specification.
