This value set is used in the following places:

4.4.1.178.1 Definition

Codes identifying contextual factors that affect interpretation of observations. Examples include conditions or states such as diabetic, fasting, or paraplegic that may be critical to understanding the significance of an observation. This is an example value set and implementations may use other codes or reference specific conditions as needed.

SystemCodeDisplayDefinition
http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/observation-interpretation-context   diabetic Diabetic The patient has diabetes mellitus, which may affect interpretation of glucose and other metabolic observations.
http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/observation-interpretation-context   fasting Fasting The patient was fasting at the time of the observation, which affects interpretation of metabolic and nutritional observations.
http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/observation-interpretation-context   paraplegic Paraplegic The patient has paraplegia, which may affect interpretation of mobility, neurological, and other physical observations.

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
