4.4.1.418.2 Expansion

This expansion generated 15 Apr 2021

This value set contains 5 concepts

Expansion based on DiscriminatorType v4.6.0 (CodeSystem)

All codes from system http://hl7.org/fhir/discriminator-type

Code	Display	Definition
value	Value	The slices have different values in the nominated element.
exists	Exists	The slices are differentiated by the presence or absence of the nominated element.
pattern	Pattern	The slices have different values in the nominated element, as determined by testing them against the applicable ElementDefinition.pattern[x].
type	Type	The slices are differentiated by type of the nominated element.
profile	Profile	The slices are differentiated by conformance of the nominated element to a specified profile. Note that if the path specifies .resolve() then the profile is the target profile on the reference. In this case, validation by the possible profiles is required to differentiate the slices.

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
