SGHI FHIR Profile Implementation Guide
0.1.0 - ci-build
SGHI FHIR Profile Implementation Guide, published by Kathurima Kimathi. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 0.1.0 built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/savannahghi/sil_fhir_profile_ig/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

The material a sample consists of, as chosen when collecting it. Distinct from SGHISpecimenTypeVs, which names the procedure that obtained the sample rather than the material.

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 |
| Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
