Properties

All codes from This code system defines the following properties for its concepts http://hl7.org/fhir/search-param-type

number
Name Code Display URI Definition Type
comments Number comments Search parameter SHALL be a number (a whole number, or a decimal). http://hl7.org/fhir/concept-properties#comments string

Concepts

This case-sensitive code system http://hl7.org/fhir/administrative-gender defines the following codes:

date Code Date/DateTime Search parameter is on a date/time. The date format is the standard XML format, though other formats may be supported. Display Definition string Comments String comments Search parameter is a simple string, like a name part. Search is case-insensitive and accent-insensitive. May match just the start of a string. String parameters may contain spaces. Copy
token male Token Male Search parameter on a coded element or identifier. May be used to search through the text, display, code and code/codesystem (for codes) and label, system and key (for identifier). Its value is either a string or a pair of namespace and value, separated by a "|", depending on the modifier used. Male. Male btn reference   btn Reference A reference to another resource (Reference or canonical).
composite female Composite Female A composite search parameter that combines a search on two values together. Female. Female btn quantity   btn Quantity A search parameter that searches on a quantity.
uri other URI Other Other. A search parameter that searches on The administrative gender is a URI (RFC 3986). value other than male/female/unknown. Where this value is selected, systems may often choose to include an extension with the localized more specific value. btn   btn special
unknown Special Unknown Unknown. Special logic applies A proper value is applicable, but not known. Usage Notes: This means the actual value is not known. If the only thing that is unknown is how to properly express the value in the necessary constraints (value set, datatype, etc.), then the OTH or UNC flavor should be used. No properties should be included for a datatype with this parameter per property unless: Those properties themselves directly translate to a semantic of "unknown". (E.g. a local code sent as a translation that conveys 'unknown') Those properties further qualify the description nature of what is unknown. (E.g. specifying a use code of "H" and a URL prefix of "tel:" to convey that it is the search parameter. home phone number that is unknown.) btn   btn

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Lvl Level 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 See Code System for further information 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
