Expansion performed internally based on codesystem Additional Binding Purpose Codes v6.0.0-ballot3 (CodeSystem)

This value set contains 10 concepts

CodeSystemDisplayInactiveDefinitionstatus icon
  maximum http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/additional-binding-purpose Maximum Binding inactive A required binding, for use when the binding strength is 'extensible' or 'preferred'. This is deprecated - it is equivalent to `required` deprecated
  minimum http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/additional-binding-purpose Minimum Binding The minimum allowable value set - any conformant system SHALL support all these codes
  required http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/additional-binding-purpose Required Binding This value set is used as a required binding (in addition to the base binding (not a replacement), usually in a particular usage context)
  extensible http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/additional-binding-purpose Conformance Binding This value set is used as an extensible binding (in addition to the base binding (not a replacement), usually in a particular usage context)
  candidate http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/additional-binding-purpose Candidate Binding This value set is a candidate to substitute for the overall conformance value set in some situations; usually these are defined in the documentation
  current http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/additional-binding-purpose Current Binding New records are required to use this value set, but legacy records may use other codes. The definition of 'new record' is difficult, since systems often create new records based on pre-existing data. Usually 'current' bindings are mandated by an external authority that makes clear rules around this
  preferred http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/additional-binding-purpose Preferred Binding This is the value set that is preferred in a given context (documentation should explain why)
  ui http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/additional-binding-purpose UI Suggested Binding This value set is provided for user look up in a given context. Typically, these valuesets only include a subset of codes relevant for input in a context
  starter http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/additional-binding-purpose Starter Binding This value set is a good set of codes to start with when designing your system
  component http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/additional-binding-purpose Component Binding This value set is a component of the base value set. Usually this is called out so that documentation can be written about a portion of the value set

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
