ValueSet

Expansion performed internally based on codesystem Questionnaire Item Type v6.0.0-ballot3 (CodeSystem)

This value set contains 15 concepts

SystemCodeDisplayDefinition
http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type   group Group An item with no direct answer but should have at least one child item.
http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type   display Display Text for display that will not capture an answer or have child items.
http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type   boolean Boolean Question with a yes/no answer (valueBoolean).
http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type   decimal Decimal Question with is a real number answer (valueDecimal). There is an extension 'http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/questionnaire-unit' that can be used to computably convey the unit of measure associated with the answer for use when performing data extraction to an element of type Quantity.
http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type   integer Integer Question with an integer answer (valueInteger). There is an extension 'http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/questionnaire-unit' that can be used to computably convey the unit of measure associated with the answer for use when performing data extraction to an element of type Quantity.
http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type   date Date Question with a date answer (valueDate).
http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type   dateTime Date Time Question with a date and time answer (valueDateTime).
http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type   time Time Question with a time (hour:minute:second) answer independent of date. (valueTime).
http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type   string String Question with a short (few words to short sentence) free-text entry answer (valueString). Strings SHOULD NOT contain carriage return or newline characters. If multi-line answers are needed, use the 'text' type.
http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type   text Text Question with a long (potentially multi-paragraph) free-text entry answer (valueString).
http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type   url Url Question with a URL (website, FTP site, etc.) answer (valueUri).
http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type   coding Coding Question with a Coding - generally drawn from a list of possible answers (valueCoding)
http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type   attachment Attachment Question with binary content such as an image, PDF, etc. as an answer (valueAttachment).
http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type   reference Reference Question with a reference to another resource (practitioner, organization, etc.) as an answer (valueReference).
http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type   quantity Quantity Question with a combination of a numeric value and unit as an answer (i.e. a Quantity constrained to SimpleQuantity). There are two extensions ('http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/questionnaire-unitOption' and 'http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/questionnaire-unitValueSet') that can be used to define what unit should be selected for the Quantity.code and Quantity.system.

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
