Concepts (13)

CodeDisplayDefinition
statusStatusA code that indicates the status of the concept. Typical values are active, experimental, deprecated, and retired
inactiveInactiveTrue if the concept is not considered active - e.g. not a valid concept any more. Property type is boolean, default value is false. Note that the status property may also be used to indicate that a concept is inactive
effectiveDateeffectiveDateThe date at which the concept status was last changed
deprecatedDeprecatedThe date at which a concept was deprecated. Concepts that are deprecated but not inactive can still be used, but their use is discouraged, and they should be expected to be made inactive in a future release. Property type is dateTime. Note that the status property may also be used to indicate that a concept is deprecated
deprecationDateDeprecation DateThe date at which a concept was deprecated. Concepts that are deprecated but not inactive can still be used, but their use is discouraged, and they should be expected to be made inactive in a future release. Property type is dateTime. Note that the status property may also be used to indicate that a concept is deprecated
retirementDateRetirement DateThe date at which a concept was retired
notSelectableNot SelectableThe concept is not intended to be chosen by the user - only intended to be used as a selector for other concepts. Note, though, that the interpretation of this is highly contextual; all concepts are selectable in some context. Property type is boolean
parentParentThe concept identified in this property is a parent of the concept on which it is a property. The property type will be 'code'. The meaning of 'parent' is defined by the hierarchyMeaning attribute
childChildThe concept identified in this property is a child of the concept on which it is a property. The property type will be 'code'. The meaning of 'child' is defined by the hierarchyMeaning attribute
partOfPart OfThe concept identified in this property (by its code) contains this concept as a component (i.e. a part-of relationship rather than a subsumption relationship such as elbow is part-of arm
synonymSynonymThis property contains an alternative code that may be used to identify this concept instead of the primary code
commentCommentA string that provides additional detail pertinent to the use or understanding of the concept
itemWeightitemWeightA numeric value that allows the comparison (less than, greater than) or other numerical manipulation of a concept (e.g. Adding up components of a score). Scores are usually a whole number, but occasionally decimals are encountered in scores. In questionnaires, the item weight may be represented using the [http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/itemWeight](https://hl7.org/fhir/R5/http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/itemWeight.html) extension
