This case-sensitive code system http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-aggregation-mode defines the following codes: codes in an undefined hierarchy:

Lvl Code Display Definition Copy
1 contained Contained The reference is a local reference to a contained resource. btn   btn
1 referenced Referenced The reference to a resource that has to be resolved externally to the resource that includes the reference. btn   btn
2   bundled Bundled When the resource is in a Bundle, the resource the reference points to will be found in the same bundle as the resource that includes the reference. btn   btn

 

See the full registry of code systems defined as part of FHIR.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. 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
