System Code Display Definition
http://hl7.org/fhir/codesystem-content-mode    not-present Not Present None of the concepts defined by the code system are included in the code system resource.
http://hl7.org/fhir/codesystem-content-mode    example Example A few representative subset of the valid externally defined concepts are included in the code system resource. There is no useful specific purpose or documented intent in the subset choice and there's no process to make it workable: it's other than for illustrative purposes. This example content mode should not intended to be workable. used if the content is better represented in a fragment.
http://hl7.org/fhir/codesystem-content-mode    fragment Fragment A subset of the code system concepts that are included in the code system resource. This is a curated subset released for a specific purpose under the governance of the code system steward, and that the intent, bounds and consequences of the fragmentation are clearly defined in the fragment or the code system documentation. Fragments are also known as partitions. purpose.
http://hl7.org/fhir/codesystem-content-mode    complete Complete All the concepts defined by the code system are included in the code system resource.
http://hl7.org/fhir/codesystem-content-mode    supplement Supplement The resource doesn't define any new concepts; it just provides additional designations and properties to another code system.

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
