"This Code system is used in the following FHIR core-defined or referenced value sets:

  • ValueSet: Observation Interpretation Context Codes (Codes identifying contextual factors that affect interpretation of observations. Examples include conditions or states such as diabetic, fasting, or paraplegic that may be critical to understanding the significance of an observation. This is an example value set and implementations may use other codes or reference specific conditions as needed.)

4.3.2.156.1 Definition

Codes identifying contextual factors that affect interpretation of observations. This provides examples of conditions or states that may be critical to understanding the significance of an observation.

CodeDisplayDefinitionCopy
diabetic Diabetic The patient has diabetes mellitus, which may affect interpretation of glucose and other metabolic observations. btn btn
fasting Fasting The patient was fasting at the time of the observation, which affects interpretation of metabolic and nutritional observations. btn btn
paraplegic Paraplegic The patient has paraplegia, which may affect interpretation of mobility, neurological, and other physical observations. btn btn

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. 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
