Description

Concept Domain that classifies a RIM Class Code

rim-ClassifiesClassCode

http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/utg-concept-properties#rim-ClassifiesClassCode

Coding

The child code is a classification of the particular class group identified by the 'classCode' in a RIM class as the parent code. Used only in RIM backbone classes to link the code and classCode values.

Status

status
