4.4.1.299.3 Expansion

This expansion generated 18 Dec 2023

Expansion based on codesystem BindingStrength v6.0.0-ballot1 (CodeSystem)

This value set contains 4 concepts

Code	System	Display	Definition
required	http://hl7.org/fhir/binding-strength	Required	To be conformant, the concept in this element SHALL be from the specified value set.
extensible	http://hl7.org/fhir/binding-strength	Extensible	To be conformant, the concept in this element SHALL be from the specified value set if any of the codes within the value set can apply to the concept being communicated. If the value set does not cover the concept (based on human review), alternate codings (or, data type allowing, text) may be included instead.
preferred	http://hl7.org/fhir/binding-strength	Preferred	Instances are encouraged to draw from the specified codes for interoperability purposes but are not required to do so to be considered conformant.
example	http://hl7.org/fhir/binding-strength	Example	Instances are not expected or even encouraged to draw from the specified value set. The value set merely provides examples of the types of concepts intended to be included.

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
