This page is part of the FHIR Specification (v0.0.82: DSTU 1). The current version which supercedes this version is 5.0.0 . For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions . Page versions: R5 R4B R4 R3 R2 Operation-valueset-validate-code This is the narrative for the resource. See also the XML or JSON format. Value Set based Validation OPERATION: Value Set based Validation Validate that a coded value is in the set of codes allowed by a value set. If the operation is not called at the instance level, one of the in parameters "identifier" or "valueset" must be provided. One (and only one) of the in parameters (code, coding, codeableConcept) must be provided. The operation returns a result (true / false), an error message, and the recommended display for the code URL: [base]/ValueSet/$Value Set based Validation URL: [base]/ValueSet/[id]/$Value Set based Validation Parameters Use Name Cardinality Type Documentation IN identifier 0..1 uri A logical value set identifier (i.e. ValueSet.identifier). The server must know the value set (e.g. it is defined explicitly in the server's valuesets, or it is defined implicitly by some code system known to the server IN valueSet 0..1 ValueSet The value set is provided directly as part of the request. Servers may choose not to accept value sets in this fashion IN code 0..1 code The code that is to be validated. If a code is provided, a system must be provided IN system 0..1 uri The system for the code that is to be validated IN version 0..1 string The version of the system, if one was provided in the source data IN display 0..1 string The display associated with the code, if provided. If a display is provided a code must be provided. If no display is provided, the server cannot validate the display value, but may choose to return athe recommended display name in an extension in the outcome IN coding 0..1 Coding A coding to validate IN codeableConcept 0..1 CodeableConcept A full codeableConcept to validate. The server returns true if one of the coding values is in the value set, and may also validate that the codings are not in conflict with each other IN date 0..1 dateTime The date for which the validation should be checked. Normally, this is the current conditions (which is the default values) but under some circumstances, systems need to validate that a correct code was used at some point in the past. A typical example of this would be where code selection is constrained to the set of codes that were available when the patient was treated, not when the record is being edited. Note that which date is appropriate is a matter for implementation policy. IN abstract 0..1 boolean if true, then an abstract code is allowed to be used in the context of the code that is being validated. Typically, abstract codes are allowed to be used in value set specifications (e.g. any code that is subsumed by an abstract code). If false (which is the default value), then only concrete codes as defined by the value set are allowed OUT result 1..1 boolean True if the concept details supplied are valid OUT message 0..1 string Error details, if result = false. If this is provided when result = true, the message carries hints and wanrings OUT display 0..1 string A valid display for the concept if the system wishes to display this to a user   Usage note: every effort has been made to ensure that the examples are correct and useful, but they are not a normative part of the specification. © HL7.org 2011+.
