Expansion based on codesystem Code System Hierarchy Meaning v6.0.0-ballot2 (CodeSystem)
This value set contains 4 concepts
Code | System | Display | Definition |
grouped-by | http://hl7.org/fhir/codesystem-hierarchy-meaning | Grouped By | No particular relationship between the concepts can be assumed, except what can be determined by inspection of the definitions of the elements (possible reasons to use this: importing from a source where this is not defined, or where various parts of the hierarchy have different meanings). |
is-a | http://hl7.org/fhir/codesystem-hierarchy-meaning | Is-A | A hierarchy where the child concepts have an IS-A relationship with the parents - that is, all the properties of the parent are also true for its child concepts. Not that is-a is a property of the concepts, so additional subsumption relationships may be defined using properties. |
part-of | http://hl7.org/fhir/codesystem-hierarchy-meaning | Part Of | Child elements list the individual parts of a composite whole (e.g. body site). |
classified-with | http://hl7.org/fhir/codesystem-hierarchy-meaning | Classified With | Child concepts in the hierarchy may have only one parent, and there is a presumption that the code system is a "closed world" meaning all things must be in the hierarchy. This results in concepts such as "not otherwise classified.". |

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 |
