Expansion based on Focus Characteristic Code v5.0.0 (CodeSystem)

Code	System	Display	Definition
citation	http://hl7.org/fhir/focus-characteristic-code	Citation	Used to reference a specific article.
clinical-outcomes-observed	http://hl7.org/fhir/focus-characteristic-code	Observed outcomes are clinical outcomes	Used to denote a focus on clinical outcomes, ie evidence variable in role of outcome (measured variable) as observed is considered a "clinical outcome" (patient-important outcome such as mortality, symptoms, function or quality of life).
population	http://hl7.org/fhir/focus-characteristic-code	Population	The population of interest.
exposure	http://hl7.org/fhir/focus-characteristic-code	Exposure	The exposure of interest, such as an intervention.
comparator	http://hl7.org/fhir/focus-characteristic-code	Comparator	The comparator (intervention or control state) of interest.
outcome	http://hl7.org/fhir/focus-characteristic-code	Outcome	the outcome of interest.
medication-exposures	http://hl7.org/fhir/focus-characteristic-code	Medication exposures	Any medication exposures. A subset of exposures or interventions that are medications.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Lvl

A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organize codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information

Source

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). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')

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
