Additional Binding Purpose

4.3.2.58.2 Content

This code system http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/additional-binding-purpose defines the following codes:

Code	Display	Definition	Copy
maximum	Maximum Binding	A required binding, for use when the binding strength is 'extensible' or 'preferred'
minimum	Minimum Binding	The minimum allowable value set - any conformant system SHALL support all these codes
required	Required Binding	This value set is used as a required binding (in addition to the base binding (not a replacement), usually in a particular usage context)
extensible	Conformance Binding	This value set is used as an extensible binding (in addition to the base binding (not a replacement), usually in a particular usage context)
candidate	Candidate Binding	This value set is a candidate to substitute for the overall conformance value set in some situations; usually these are defined in the documentation
current	Current Binding	New records are required to use this value set, but legacy records may use other codes. The definition of 'new record' is difficult, since systems often create new records based on pre-existing data. Usually 'current' bindings are mandated by an external authority that makes clear rules around this
preferred	Preferred Binding	This is the value set that is preferred in a given context (documentation should explain why)
ui	UI Suggested Binding	This value set is provided for user look up in a given context. Typically, these valuesets only include a subset of codes relevant for input in a context
starter	Starter Binding	This value set is a good set of codes to start with when designing your system
component	Component Binding	This value set is a component of the base value set. Usually this is called out so that documentation can be written about a portion of the value set

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. 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
