### Logical Definition (CLD)

- Include these codes as defined in `http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/iso-21089-lifecycle` version 📦1.0.0

  Code | Display | Definition
  deidentify | De-Identify (Anononymize) Record Lifecycle Event | Occurs when an agent causes the system to scrub record entry content to reduce the association between a set of identifying data and the data subject in a way that might or might not be reversible.
  pseudonymize | Pseudonymize Record Lifecycle Event | Occurs when an agent causes the system to remove record entry content to reduce the association between a set of identifying data and the data subject in a way that may be reversible.
  reidentify | Re-identify Record Lifecycle Event | Occurs when an agent causes the system to restore information to data that allows identification of information source and/or information subject.

### Expansion

Expansion performed internally based on codesystem ISO 21089 2017 Health Record Lifecycle Events v1.0.0 (CodeSystem)

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
System | 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)
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
