This Code system is used in the following value sets:

4.3.14.403.1 Content

4.3.14.403.2 ResearchStudyPrimaryPurposeType

Codes for the main intent of the study.

This code system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/research-study-prim-purp-type defines the following codes:

Code Display Definition
treatment Treatment One or more interventions are being evaluated for treating a disease, syndrome, or condition.
prevention Prevention One or more interventions are being assessed for preventing the development of a specific disease or health condition.
diagnostic Diagnostic One or more interventions are being evaluated for identifying a disease or health condition.
supportive-care Supportive Care One or more interventions are evaluated for maximizing comfort, minimizing side effects, or mitigating against a decline in the participant's health or function.
screening Screening One or more interventions are assessed or examined for identifying a condition, or risk factors for a condition, in people who are not yet known to have the condition or risk factor.
health-services-research Health Services Research One or more interventions for evaluating the delivery, processes, management, organization, or financing of healthcare.
basic-science Basic Science One or more interventions for examining the basic mechanism of action (for example, physiology or biomechanics of an intervention).
device-feasibility Device Feasibility An intervention of a device product is being evaluated to determine the feasibility of the product or to test a prototype device and not health outcomes. Such studies are conducted to confirm the design and operating specifications of a device before beginning a full clinical trial.
