Coding

A reference to a code defined by a terminology system. If the element is present, it must have a value for at least one of the defined elements, an @id referenced from the Narrative, or extensions

type Coding implements Element {
  system: Uri
  version: String
  code: String
  display: String
  userSelected: Boolean
  extension: [Extension]
  id: String
}

Fields​

Coding.system ● Uri scalar​

The identification of the code system that defines the meaning of the symbol in the code.

Coding.version ● String scalar​

The version of the code system which was used when choosing this code. Note that a well-maintained code system does not need the version reported, because the meaning of codes is consistent across versions. However this cannot consistently be assured, and when the meaning is not guaranteed to be consistent, the version SHOULD be exchanged.

Coding.code ● String scalar​

A symbol in syntax defined by the system. The symbol may be a predefined code or an expression in a syntax defined by the coding system (e.g. post-coordination).

Coding.display ● String scalar​

A representation of the meaning of the code in the system, following the rules of the system.

Coding.userSelected ● Boolean scalar​

Indicates that this coding was chosen by a user directly - e.g. off a pick list of available items (codes or displays).

Coding.extension ● [Extension] list object​

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

Coding.id ● String scalar​

Interfaces​

Element interface​

Base definition for all elements in a resource. If the element is present, it must have a value for at least one of the defined elements, an @id referenced from the Narrative, or extensions
