    ActivityDefinitionActivityDefinitionThis resource allows for the definition of some activity to be performed, independent of a particular patient, practitioner, or other performance context.
    ClinicalUseDefinitionClinicalUseDefinitionA single issue - either an indication, contraindication, interaction, undesirable effect or warning for a medicinal product, medication, device or procedure.
    EventDefinitionEventDefinitionThe EventDefinition resource provides a reusable description of when a particular event can occur.
    MeasureMeasureThe Measure resource provides the definition of a quality measure.
    MessageDefinitionMessageDefinitionDefines the characteristics of a message that can be shared between systems, including the type of event that initiates the message, the content to be transmitted and what response(s), if any, are permitted.
    ObservationDefinitionObservationDefinitionSet of definitional characteristics for a kind of observation or measurement produced or consumed by an orderable health care service.
    OperationDefinitionOperationDefinitionA formal computable definition of an operation (on the RESTful interface) or a named query (using the search interaction).
    PlanDefinitionPlanDefinitionThis resource allows for the definition of various types of plans as a sharable, consumable, and executable artifact. The resource is general enough to support the description of a broad range of clinical and non-clinical artifacts such as clinical decision support rules, order sets, protocols, drug quality specifications, and drug manufacturing process.
    QuestionnaireQuestionnaireA structured set of questions intended to guide the collection of answers from end-users. Questionnaires provide detailed control over order, presentation, phraseology and grouping to allow coherent, consistent data collection.
    RequirementsRequirementsThe Requirements resource is used to describe an actor - a human or an application that plays a role in data exchange, and that may have obligations associated with the role the actor plays.
    SubscriptionTopicSubscriptionTopicDescribes a stream of resource state changes identified by trigger criteria and annotated with labels useful to filter projections from this topic.

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
