ValueSet

Expansion performed internally based on codesystem QuantityComparator v6.0.0-ballot4 (CodeSystem)

This value set contains 6 concepts

SystemCodeDisplayDefinition
http://hl7.org/fhir/quantity-comparator   < Less than The actual value is less than the given value.
http://hl7.org/fhir/quantity-comparator   <= Less or Equal to The actual value is less than or equal to the given value.
http://hl7.org/fhir/quantity-comparator   >= Greater or Equal to The actual value is greater than or equal to the given value.
http://hl7.org/fhir/quantity-comparator   > Greater than The actual value is greater than the given value.
http://hl7.org/fhir/quantity-comparator   ~ Approximately The actual value is approximately equal to the given value. A recommended value for the approximation is 10% of the stated value (or for a date, 10% of the gap between now and the date), but systems may choose other values where appropriate. Systems SHOULD use the Quantity Confidence Interval extension (http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/quantity-confidenceInterval) to provide more detail when possible.
http://hl7.org/fhir/quantity-comparator   ad Sufficient to achieve this total quantity The actual value is sufficient for the total quantity to equal the given value.

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
