Concepts (13)
| Code | Display | Definition |
|---|---|---|
status | Status | A code that indicates the status of the concept. Typical values are active, experimental, deprecated, and retired |
inactive | Inactive | True 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 |
effectiveDate | effectiveDate | The date at which the concept status was last changed |
deprecated | Deprecated | The 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 |
deprecationDate | Deprecation Date | The 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 |
retirementDate | Retirement Date | The date at which a concept was retired |
notSelectable | Not Selectable | The 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 |
parent | Parent | The 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 |
child | Child | The 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 |
partOf | Part Of | The 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 |
synonym | Synonym | This property contains an alternative code that may be used to identify this concept instead of the primary code |
comment | Comment | A string that provides additional detail pertinent to the use or understanding of the concept |
itemWeight | itemWeight | A 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 |
