    v: Generated Narrative: CodeSystem match-grade Last updated: 2020-04-09 21:10:28+0000 This case-sensitive code system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/match-grade defines the following codes: Code Display Definition certain Certain Match This record meets the matching criteria to be automatically considered as a full match. probable Probable Match This record is a close match, but not a certain match. Additional review (e.g. by a human) may be required before using this as a match. possible Possible Match This record may be a matching one. Additional review (e.g. by a human) SHOULD be performed before using this as a match. certainly-not Certainly Not a Match This record is known not to be a match. Note that usually non-matching records are not returned, but in some cases records previously or likely considered as a match may specifically be negated by the matching engine.
