Standards status: Informative Maturity Level: 0 Computable Name: ConceptSubsumptionOutcome

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. If the server is unable to determine the relationship between the codes/Codings, then it returns an error (i.e. an OperationOutcome).

This Code system is referenced in the content logical definition of the following value sets:

This case-sensitive code system http://hl7.org/fhir/concept-subsumption-outcome defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
equivalent Equivalent The two concepts are equivalent (have the same properties).
subsumes Subsumes Coding/code "A" subsumes Coding/code "B" (e.g. B has all the properties A has, and some of it's own).
subsumed-by Subsumed-By Coding/code "A" is subsumed by Coding/code "B" (e.g. A has all the properties B has, and some of it's own).
not-subsumed Not-Subsumed Coding/code "A" and Coding/code "B" are disjoint (e.g. each has propeties that the other doesn't have).
