Normative Candidate Note: This page is candidate normative content for R4 in the Conformance Package. Once normative, it will lose it's Maturity Level, and breaking changes will no longer be made.

This is a value set defined by the FHIR project.

primitive-typePrimitive Data TypeA primitive type that has a value and an extension. These can be used throughout Resource and extension definitions. Only the base specification can define primitive types.
complex-typeComplex Data TypeA complex structure that defines a set of data elements. These can be used throughout Resource and extension definitions, and in logical models.
resourceResourceA resource defined by the FHIR specification.
logicalLogical ModelA conceptual package of data that will be mapped to resources for implementation.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

LvlA few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organise codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information
SourceThe source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
CodeThe code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')
DisplayThe 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
