Code Display Definition
grouped-by Grouped By No particular relationship between the concepts can be assumed, except what can be determined by inspection of the definitions of the elements (possible reasons to use this: importing from a source where this is not defined, or where various parts of the heirarchy have different meanings)
is-a Is-A A hierarchy where the child concepts have an IS-A relationship with the parents - that is, all the properties of the parent are also true for it's child concepts
part-of Part Of Child elements list the individual parts of a composite whole (e.g. bodysite)
classified-with Classified With Child concepts in the hierarchy may have only one parent and there is a presumption that the code system is a "closed world" meaning all things must be in the hierarchy. This results in concepts such as "not otherwise clasified."

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. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
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)
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
