This value set contains 13 concepts

Lvl Level System Code Display Definition
0 1 http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaning    type icon Type General types of reference range.
1 2 http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaning         normal icon Normal Range Values expected for a normal member of the relevant control population being measured. Typically each results producer such as a laboratory has specific normal ranges and they are usually defined as within two standard deviations from the mean and account for 95.45% of this population.
1 2 http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaning         recommended icon Recommended Range The range that is recommended by a relevant professional body.
1 2 http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaning         treatment icon Treatment Range The range at which treatment would/should be considered.
1 2 http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaning         therapeutic icon Therapeutic Desired Level The optimal range for best therapeutic outcomes.
2 3 http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaning             pre icon Pre Therapeutic Desired Level The optimal range for best therapeutic outcomes for a specimen taken immediately before administration.

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
