ValueSetContains

A ValueSet resource instance specifies a set of codes drawn from one or more code systems, intended for use in a particular context. Value sets link between CodeSystem definitions and their use in coded elements.

type ValueSetContains implements Element {
  system: Uri
  abstract: Boolean
  inactive: Boolean
  version: String
  code: String
  display: String
  designation: [ValueSetDesignation]
  contains: [ValueSetContains]
  modifierExtension: [Extension]
  extension: [Extension]
  id: String
}

Fields​

ValueSetContains.system ● Uri scalar​

An absolute URI which is the code system in which the code for this item in the expansion is defined.

ValueSetContains.abstract ● Boolean scalar​

If true, this entry is included in the expansion for navigational purposes, and the user cannot select the code directly as a proper value.

ValueSetContains.inactive ● Boolean scalar​

If the concept is inactive in the code system that defines it. Inactive codes are those that are no longer to be used, but are maintained by the code system for understanding legacy data. It might not be known or specified whether an concept is inactive (and it may depend on the context of use).

ValueSetContains.version ● String scalar​

The version of the code system from this code was taken. 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.

ValueSetContains.code ● String scalar​

The code for this item in the expansion hierarchy. If this code is missing the entry in the hierarchy is a place holder (abstract) and does not represent a valid code in the value set.

ValueSetContains.display ● String scalar​

The recommended display for this item in the expansion.

ValueSetContains.designation ● [ValueSetDesignation] list object​

Additional representations for this item - other languages, aliases, specialized purposes, used for particular purposes, etc. These are relevant when the conditions of the expansion do not fix to a single correct representation.

ValueSetContains.contains ● [ValueSetContains] list object​

Other codes and entries contained under this entry in the hierarchy.

ValueSetContains.modifierExtension ● [Extension] list object​

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element s descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. 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. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

ValueSetContains.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.

ValueSetContains.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
