Expansion based on codesystem Reference Handling Policy v6.0.0-ballot2 (CodeSystem)

This value set contains 5 concepts

CodeSystemDisplayDefinition
  literal http://hl7.org/fhir/reference-handling-policy Literal References

The server supports and populates Literal references (i.e. using Reference.reference) where they are known (this code does not guarantee that all references are literal; see 'enforced').

  logical http://hl7.org/fhir/reference-handling-policy Logical References

The server allows logical references (i.e. using Reference.identifier).

  resolves http://hl7.org/fhir/reference-handling-policy Resolves References

The server will attempt to resolve logical references to literal references - i.e. converting Reference.identifier to Reference.reference (if resolution fails, the server may still accept resources; see logical).

  enforced http://hl7.org/fhir/reference-handling-policy Reference Integrity Enforced

The server enforces that references have integrity - e.g. it ensures that references can always be resolved. This is typically the case for clinical record systems, but often not the case for middleware/proxy systems.

  local http://hl7.org/fhir/reference-handling-policy Local References Only

The server does not support references that point to other servers.

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
