This value set contains 17 concepts

System Code Display Definition
http://hl7.org/fhir/map-transform    create create

create(type : string) - type is passed through to the application on the standard API, and must be known by it.

http://hl7.org/fhir/map-transform    copy copy

copy(source).

http://hl7.org/fhir/map-transform    truncate truncate

truncate(source, length) - source must be stringy type.

http://hl7.org/fhir/map-transform    escape escape

escape(source, fmt1, fmt2) - change source from one kind of escaping to another (plain, java, xml, json). note that this is for when the string itself is escaped.

http://hl7.org/fhir/map-transform    cast cast

cast(source, type?) - case cast (convert) source from one type to another. target Target type can be left as implicit if there is one and only one target type known. The default namespace for the type is 'FHIR' (see FHIRPath type specifiers icon )

http://hl7.org/fhir/map-transform    append append

append(source...) - source is element or string.

http://hl7.org/fhir/map-transform    translate translate

translate(source, uri_of_map) - use the translate operation.

http://hl7.org/fhir/map-transform    reference reference

reference(source : object) - return a string that references the provided tree properly.

http://hl7.org/fhir/map-transform    dateOp dateOp

Perform a date operation. *Parameters Parameters to be documented*. documented .
http://hl7.org/fhir/map-transform    uuid uuid

Generate a random UUID (in lowercase). No Parameters.

http://hl7.org/fhir/map-transform    pointer pointer

Return the appropriate string to put in a reference that refers to the resource provided as a parameter.

http://hl7.org/fhir/map-transform    evaluate evaluate

Execute the supplied FHIRPath expression and use the value returned by that.

http://hl7.org/fhir/map-transform    cc cc

Create a CodeableConcept. Parameters = (text) or (system. Code[, display]).

http://hl7.org/fhir/map-transform    c c

Create a Coding. Parameters = (system. Code[, display]).

http://hl7.org/fhir/map-transform    qty qty

Create a quantity. Parameters = (text) or (value, unit, [system, code]) where text is the natural representation e.g. [comparator]value[space]unit.

http://hl7.org/fhir/map-transform    id id

Create an identifier. Parameters = (system, value[, type]) where type is a code from the identifier type value set.

http://hl7.org/fhir/map-transform    cp cp

Create a contact details. Parameters = (value) or (system, value). If no system is provided, the system should be inferred from the content of the value.

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
