This page is part of the Structured Data Capture - Data Element Exchange Specification (v2.0: STU 2) based on FHIR R3. This is the current published version in it's permanent home (it will always be available at this URL). For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions
The official URL for this profile is:
http://hl7.org/fhir/us/sdcde/StructureDefinition/sdcde-codesystem
This profile sets expectations for use of the CodeSystem resource within the Structured Data Capture Data Element Exchange implementation guide. This includes identifying which core elements and extensions must be supported.
For the purposes of this profile, Supported means that clients SHALL be capable of processing the element/extension and use the information to control the display and information capture associated with the CodeSystem. It means that servers SHALL be capable of persisting those elements and returning them in response to requests. For systems rendering Questionnaires, these Supported elements and extensions must be supported in the rendering of allowed choices associated with questions.
This profile relies on the use of the codesystem-extensions profile which defines a number of less common properties for code systems, several of which are mandated for this profile. It also makes use of the rendering-extensions which defines rendering information for display names and labels of codes.
