Expansion based on codesystem Questionnaire Item Type v6.0.0-ballot2 (CodeSystem)

This value set contains 16 concepts

LevelCodeSystemDisplayDefinition
1   group http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type Group

An item with no direct answer but should have at least one child item.

1   display http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type Display

Text for display that will not capture an answer or have child items.

1   question http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type Question

An item that defines a specific answer to be captured, and which may have child items. (the answer provided in the QuestionnaireResponse should be of the defined datatype).

2     boolean http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type Boolean

Question with a yes/no answer (valueBoolean).

2     decimal http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type 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.

2     integer http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type 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.

2     date http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type Date

Question with a date answer (valueDate).

2     dateTime http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type Date Time

Question with a date and time answer (valueDateTime).

2     time http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type Time

Question with a time (hour:minute:second) answer independent of date. (valueTime).

2     string http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type 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.

2     text http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type Text

Question with a long (potentially multi-paragraph) free-text entry answer (valueString).

2     url http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type Url

Question with a URL (website, FTP site, etc.) answer (valueUri).

2     coding http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type Coding

Question with a Coding - generally drawn from a list of possible answers (valueCoding)

2     attachment http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type Attachment

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
