Code Display

Definition literal Literal References The server supports and populates Literal references (i.e. using Reference.reference) where they are known (this code does not guarantee that all references are literal; see 'enforced'). logical Logical References The server allows logical references (i.e. using Reference.identifier). resolves Resolves References The server will attempt to resolve logical references to literal references - i.e. converting Reference.identifier to Reference.reference (if resolution fails, the server may still accept resources; see logical). enforced Reference Integrity Enforced The server enforces that references have integrity - e.g. it ensures that references can always be resolved. This is typically the case for clinical record systems, but often not the case for middleware/proxy systems. Value SetGender Identity

                <br/>  
                <br/>  **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 property unless:
                <br/>  
                <br/>  1.  Those properties themselves directly translate to a semantic of &quot;unknown&quot;.

                 (E.g. a local code sent as a translation that conveys 'unknown')
                <br/>  2.  Those properties further qualify the nature of what is unknown. (E.g. specifying

                 a use code of &quot;H&quot; and a URL prefix of &quot;tel:&quot; to convey that
                 it is the home phone number that is unknown.)

  See the full registry of value sets defined as part of FHIR. 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 Usage note: every effort has been made 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 ensure that the code is examples are correct and useful, but they are 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 normative part of the concept Comments Additional notes about how to use the code specification.
