This value set contains 3 concepts

Expansion based on ResearchStudy Objective Type Code System v5.0.0 (CodeSystem)

Code	System	Display	Definition
primary	http://hl7.org/fhir/research-study-objective-type	Primary	The main question to be answered, and the one that drives any statistical planning for the study—e.g., calculation of the sample size to provide the appropriate power for statistical testing.
secondary	http://hl7.org/fhir/research-study-objective-type	Secondary	Question to be answered in the study that is of lesser importance than the primary objective.
exploratory	http://hl7.org/fhir/research-study-objective-type	Exploratory	Exploratory questions to be answered in the study.

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

Comments

Additional notes about how to use the code
