ValueSet: GENC Country Codes (Experimental)

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/pq-cmc-fda/ValueSet/genc-country-codes				Version: 0.1.20
Draft as of 2024-03-04				Computable Name: GENCcountryCodes

The GENC Standard specifies an information model for representing names and codes of geopolitical entities and administrative subdivisions, with supporting information. A geopolitical entity is a region controlled by a political community having an organized government and possessing internal and external sovereignty, most often as a State but sometimes having a dependent relationship on another political authority, or a special sovereignty status. Geopolitical entities may be divided into administratively subordinate divisions. A GENC code (or, synonymously, an ISO 3166 code element) for a geopolitical entity or administrative subdivision is a unique designation of that concept within a set of similar concepts established by a suitable authority. This information model is based on that of ISO 3166 but extended to capture additional information required by U.S. Government stakeholders.

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. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
System	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)
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
