ValueSet
Expansion performed internally based on codesystem Questionnaire Item Type v6.0.0-ballot2 (CodeSystem)
This value set contains 15 concepts
Code | System | Display | Definition |
group | http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type | Group | An item with no direct answer but should have at least one child item. |
display | http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type | Display | Text for display that will not capture an answer or have child items. |
boolean | http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type | Boolean | Question with a yes/no answer (valueBoolean). |
decimal | http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type | Decimal | Question with is a real number answer (valueDecimal). There is an extension 'http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/questionnaire-unit' that can be used to computably convey the unit of measure associated with the answer for use when performing data extraction to an element of type Quantity. |
integer | http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type | Integer | Question with an integer answer (valueInteger). There is an extension 'http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/questionnaire-unit' that can be used to computably convey the unit of measure associated with the answer for use when performing data extraction to an element of type Quantity. |
date | http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type | Date | Question with a date answer (valueDate). |
dateTime | http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type | Date Time | Question with a date and time answer (valueDateTime). |
time | http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type | Time | Question with a time (hour:minute:second) answer independent of date. (valueTime). |
string | http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type | String | Question with a short (few words to short sentence) free-text entry answer (valueString). Strings SHOULD NOT contain carriage return or newline characters. If multi-line answers are needed, use the 'text' type. |
text | http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type | Text | Question with a long (potentially multi-paragraph) free-text entry answer (valueString). |
url | http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type | Url | Question with a URL (website, FTP site, etc.) answer (valueUri). |
coding | http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type | Coding | Question with a Coding - generally drawn from a list of possible answers (valueCoding) |
attachment | http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type | Attachment | Question with binary content such as an image, PDF, etc. as an answer (valueAttachment). |
reference | http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type | Reference | Question with a reference to another resource (practitioner, organization, etc.) as an answer (valueReference). |
quantity | http://hl7.org/fhir/item-type | Quantity | Question with a combination of a numeric value and unit as an answer (i.e. a Quantity constrained to SimpleQuantity). There are two extensions ('http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/questionnaire-unitOption' and 'http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/questionnaire-unitValueSet') that can be used to define what unit should be selected for the Quantity.code and Quantity.system. |

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 |
