ValueSet: Date of Death Determination Methods Value Set

Date of Death Determination Methods Value Set. The method of date of death determination is not used for the Death Record submission process. The binding to this value set is included for compatibility with the Medicolegal Death Investigation (MDI) Implementation Guide. The valueset only includes the values used by MDI, but is bound extensibly. If a jurisdiction chooses to use this field, and requires additional values (e.g., 'presumed'), these values can be used while remaining in full conformance with the VRDR IG.

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
System	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)
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
