| Aboriginal Identity Group |
Represents codes for Aboriginal Identity |
| Aboriginal Identity Indicator |
Represents the self identity as an Aboriginal Person |
| Birth Sex |
Codes for documenting sex at birth. (Replicates the birthsex ValueSet in US-Core-R4 for interoperability.) |

| Healthcare Provider Role Type |
A role type that is used to categorize an entity that delivers health care in an expected and professional manner to an entity in need of health care services. Examples: Registered Nurse, Chiropractor, Physician, Custodial Care Clinic. This resource is an informative value set; a normative subset can be found on Canada Health Infoway's Terminology Gateway. |
| Qualified Role Type |
A code for the degree or educational rank that the credential specifies. May also apply to an Expertise type. This resource is an informative value set; a normative subset can be found on Canada Health Infoway's Terminology Gateway. |

Defines the clinical, medical, surgical or other healthcare-related service specialty of a practitioner who interacts, treats or provides such services to or for a patient. This resource is an informative value set; a normative subset can be found on Canada Health Infoway's Terminology Gateway. |
| Vaccine Administered Tradename Code |
The scope of this subset is vaccines that are currently licensed for use in Canada and those obtained through special access programs for use in Canada. The subset includes concepts represented by the trade name (brand name) of the vaccine administered to the client. This content is intended to be used when populating a record at the point of immunization. This resource is an informative value set; a normative subset containing the expanded values can be found on Canada Health Infoway's Terminology Server. Reviewers should anticipate that the representation of this valueSet will continue to evolve |
| Vaccine Historical Name Code |
The scope of this subset is vaccines that are currently licensed for use in Canada (generic description, i.e. no trade name), those obtained through special access programs (generic description), and vaccines that have been discontinued and/or never licensed in Canada (with trade name). This content is intended to be used when populating an immunization history when the client and /or provider does not have the detail of the trade name (brand name) of the vaccine administered OR the product has been discontinued and/or never licensed in Canada. This subset will include concepts represented by a generic description for a vaccine that was previously administered to the client as may be expressed by the client or provider for an immunization history and concepts represented by the trade name for products that have been discontinued and/or never licensed in Canada. This resource is an informative value set; a normative subset containing the expanded values can be found on Canada Health Infoway's Terminology Server. Reviewers should anticipate that the representation of this valueSet will continue to evolve |

The scope of this subset is passive immunizing agents that are currently licensed for use in Canada and those obtained through special access programs. The subset includes concepts represented by the trade name (brand name) of the passive immunizing agent (immune globulin or antitoxin) that was administered to the client. Passive immunizing agents are used to facilitate protection against vaccine preventable infections, when vaccines are not available or are contraindicated or when vaccines have not been used before exposure to the infective agent. This content is intended to be used when populating a record at the point of administration. Reviewers should anticipate that the representation of this valueSet will continue to evolve. This resource is an informative value set; a normative subset containing the expanded values can be found on Canada Health Infoway's Terminology Server. |
| Passive Historical Immunizing Agent Code |
The scope of this subset is passive immunizing agents used in Canada (generically described, i.e. without trade name), those obtained through special access programs (generically described), and agents that have been discontinued and/or never licensed in Canada (with trade name). This content is intended to be used when populating an immunization history when the client and/or provider does not have the detail of the trade name of the agent administered OR the product has been discontinued and/or never licensed in Canada. Passive immunizing agents are used to facilitate protection against vaccine preventable infections, when vaccines are not available or are countraindicated or when vaccines have not been used before exposure to the infective agent. This subset will include concepts represented by a generic description for an agent that was previously administered to the client as may be expressed by the client or provider for an immunization history and concepts represented by the trade name for products that have been discontinued and/or never licensed in Canada. This resource is an informative value set; a normative subset containing the expanded values can be found on Canada Health Infoway's Terminology Server.
