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.

Unikalny identyfikator logiczny zasobu nadawany przez system.

The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.

The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

The server assigns this value, and ignores what the client specifies, except in the case that the server is imposing version integrity on updates/deletes.

A uri that identifies the source system of the resource. This provides a minimal amount of Provenance information that can be used to track or differentiate the source of information in the resource. The source may identify another FHIR server, document, message, database, etc.

In the provenance resource, this corresponds to Provenance.entity.what[x]. The exact use of the source (and the implied Provenance.entity.role) is left to implementer discretion. Only one nominated source is allowed; for additional provenance details, a full Provenance resource should be used.

This element can be used to indicate where the current master source of a resource that has a canonical URL if the resource is no longer hosted at the canonical URL.

Profil zasobu, definiujący jego strukturę (PLSMPLAdminValueSet).

It is up to the server and/or other infrastructure of policy to determine whether/how these claims are verified and/or updated over time. The list of profile URLs is a set.

Security labels applied to this resource. These tags connect specific resources to the overall security policy and infrastructure.

The security labels can be updated without changing the stated version of the resource. The list of security labels is a set. Uniqueness is based the system/code, and version and display are ignored.

Security Labels from the Healthcare Privacy and Security Classification System.

Tags applied to this resource. Tags are intended to be used to identify and relate resources to process and workflow, and applications are not required to consider the tags when interpreting the meaning of a resource.

The tags can be updated without changing the stated version of the resource. The list of tags is a set. Uniqueness is based the system/code, and version and display are ignored.

Codes that represent various types of tags, commonly workflow-related; e.g. "Needs review by Dr. Jones".

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

The base language in which the resource is written.

Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).

A human language.

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags In their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels.

An Extension

A formal identifier that is used to identify this value set when it is represented in other formats, or referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance.

Typically, this is used for identifiers that can go in an HL7 V3 II (instance identifier) data type, and can then identify this value set outside of FHIR, where it is not possible to use the logical URI.

Allows externally provided and/or usable business identifiers to be easily associated with the module.

A natural language name identifying the value set. This name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation.

The name is not expected to be globally unique. The name should be a simple alphanumeric type name to ensure that it is machine-processing friendly.A name should be provided unless the value set is a contained resource (e.g. an anonymous value set in a profile). Most registries will require a name.

Support human navigation and code generation.

A short, descriptive, user-friendly title for the value set.

This name does not need to be machine-processing friendly and may contain punctuation, white-space, etc.

The status of this value set. Enables tracking the life-cycle of the content. The status of the value set applies to the value set definition (ValueSet.compose) and the associated ValueSet metadata. Expansions do not have a state.

Allows filtering of value sets that are appropriate for use versus not.See also the valueset-workflowStatus extension for additional status information related to the editorial process.

The lifecycle status of an artifact.

A Boolean value to indicate that this value set is authored for testing purposes (or education/evaluation/marketing) and is not intended to be used for genuine usage.

Allows filtering of value sets that are appropriate for use versus not.

Enables experimental content to be developed following the same lifecycle that would be used for a production-level value set.

A free text natural language description of the value set from a consumer's perspective. The textual description specifies the span of meanings for concepts to be included within the Value Set Expansion, and also may specify the intended use and limitations of the Value Set.

This description can be used to capture details such as why the value set was built, comments about misuse, instructions for clinical use and interpretation, literature references, examples from the paper world, etc. It is not a rendering of the value set as conveyed in the 'text' field of the resource itself. This item SHOULD be populated unless the information is available from context (e.g. the language of the value set is presumed to be the predominant language in the place the value set was created).The description is not intended to describe the semantics of the Value Set - there are no intrinsic semantics separate from the codes contained in its expansion. The description should capture its intended use, which is needed for ensuring integrity for its use in models across future changes. A description should be provided unless the value set is a contained resource (e.g. an anonymous value set in a profile). Most registries will require a description.

The content was developed with a focus and intent of supporting the contexts that are listed. These contexts may be general categories (gender, age, ...) or may be references to specific programs (insurance plans, studies, ...) and may be used to assist with indexing and searching for appropriate value set instances.

When multiple useContexts are specified, there is no expectation that all or any of the contexts apply.

Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

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

The URI may be an OID (urn:oid:...) or a UUID (urn:uuid:...). OIDs and UUIDs SHALL be references to the HL7 OID registry. Otherwise, the URI should come from HL7's list of FHIR defined special URIs or it should reference to some definition that establishes the system clearly and unambiguously.

Need to be unambiguous about the source of the definition of the symbol.

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.

Where the terminology does not clearly define what string should be used to identify code system versions, the recommendation is to use the date (expressed in FHIR date format) on which that version was officially published as the version date.

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).

Need to refer to a particular code in the system.

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

Need to be able to carry a human-readable meaning of the code for readers that do not know the system.

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

Amongst a set of alternatives, a directly chosen code is the most appropriate starting point for new translations. There is some ambiguity about what exactly 'directly chosen' implies, and trading partner agreement may be needed to clarify the use of this element and its consequences more completely.

This has been identified as a clinical safety criterium - that this exact system/code pair was chosen explicitly, rather than inferred by the system based on some rules or language processing.

A value that defines the context specified in this context of use. The interpretation of the value is defined by the code.

A code that defines the specific value for the context being specified.

Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

Codes may be defined very casually in enumerations, or code lists, up to very formal definitions such as SNOMED CT - see the HL7 v3 Core Principles for more information. Ordering of codings is undefined and SHALL NOT be used to infer meaning. Generally, at most only one of the coding values will be labeled as UserSelected = true.

Allows for alternative encodings within a code system, and translations to other code systems.

A human language representation of the concept as seen/selected/uttered by the user who entered the data and/or which represents the intended meaning of the user.

Very often the text is the same as a displayName of one of the codings.

The codes from the terminologies do not always capture the correct meaning with all the nuances of the human using them, or sometimes there is no appropriate code at all. In these cases, the text is used to capture the full meaning of the source.

If this is set to 'true', then no new versions of the content logical definition can be created. Note: Other metadata might still change.

Normally immutability is set to 'false', which is the default assumption if it is not populated. Note that the implication is that if this is set to 'true', there may be only one ValueSet version for this definition. Immutability tends to be set to 'true' in one of two cases: - Where the value set, by the nature of its usage, cannot change. For example "All specializations of ACT in ActClassCode" - Where there's no safe way to express the "Purpose" such that someone else could safely make changes to the value set definition. Source workflow control must guarantee that the same URI always yields the same definition.

Explanation of why this value set is needed and why it has been designed as it has.

This element does not describe the usage of the value set. Instead, it provides traceability of ''why'' the resource is either needed or ''why'' it is defined as it is. This may be used to point to source materials or specifications that drove the structure of this value set.

A copyright statement relating to the value set and/or its contents. Copyright statements are generally legal restrictions on the use and publishing of the value set.

nullFrequently, the copyright differs between the value set and the codes that are included. The copyright statement should clearly differentiate between these when required.

Consumers must be able to determine any legal restrictions on the use of the value set and/or its content.

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.

The server assigns this value, and ignores what the client specifies, except in the case that the server is imposing version integrity on updates/deletes.

When the resource last changed - e.g. when the version changed.

This value is always populated except when the resource is first being created. The server / resource manager sets this value; what a client provides is irrelevant. This is equivalent to the HTTP Last-Modified and SHOULD have the same value on a read interaction.

A uri that identifies the source system of the resource. This provides a minimal amount of Provenance information that can be used to track or differentiate the source of information in the resource. The source may identify another FHIR server, document, message, database, etc.

The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).

A human language.

A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later.

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags In their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels.

An absolute URI that is used to identify this value set when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance; also called its canonical identifier. This SHOULD be globally unique and SHOULD be a literal address at which at which an authoritative instance of this value set is (or will be) published. This URL can be the target of a canonical reference. It SHALL remain the same when the value set is stored on different servers.

Can be a urn:uuid: or a urn:oid: but real http: addresses are preferred. Multiple instances may share the same URL if they have a distinct version.

The determination of when to create a new version of a resource (same url, new version) vs. defining a new artifact is up to the author. Considerations for making this decision are found in Technical and Business Versions.

In some cases, the resource can no longer be found at the stated url, but the url itself cannot change. Implementations can use the meta.source element to indicate where the current master source of the resource can be found.

Allows the value set to be referenced by a single globally unique identifier.

A formal identifier that is used to identify this value set when it is represented in other formats, or referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance.

Typically, this is used for identifiers that can go in an HL7 V3 II (instance identifier) data type, and can then identify this value set outside of FHIR, where it is not possible to use the logical URI.

Allows externally provided and/or usable business identifiers to be easily associated with the module.

The identifier that is used to identify this version of the value set when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the value set author and is not expected to be globally unique. For example, it might be a timestamp (e.g. yyyymmdd) if a managed version is not available. There is also no expectation that versions can be placed in a lexicographical sequence.

There may be different value set instances that have the same identifier but different versions. The version can be appended to the url in a reference to allow a reference to a particular business version of the value set with the format [url]|[version].

A natural language name identifying the value set. This name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation.

The name is not expected to be globally unique. The name should be a simple alphanumeric type name to ensure that it is machine-processing friendly.A name should be provided unless the value set is a contained resource (e.g. an anonymous value set in a profile).

The date (and optionally time) when the value set was created or revised (e.g. the 'content logical definition').

Note that this is not the same as the resource last-modified-date, since the resource may be a secondary representation of the value set. Additional specific dates may be added as extensions or be found by consulting Provenances associated with past versions of the resource.

The name of the organization or individual that published the value set.

Usually an organization but may be an individual. The publisher (or steward) of the value set is the organization or individual primarily responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the value set. This is not necessarily the same individual or organization that developed and initially authored the content. The publisher is the primary point of contact for questions or issues with the value set. This item SHOULD be populated unless the information is available from context.

The Locked Date is the effective date that is used to determine the version of all referenced Code Systems and Value Set Definitions included in the compose that are not already tied to a specific version.

With a defined lockedDate the value set is considered "Locked". Otherwise, the value set may have different expansions as underlying code systems and/or value sets evolve. The interpretation of lockedDate is often dependent on the context - e.g. a SNOMED CT derived value set with a lockedDate will have a different expansion in USA than in UK. If a value set specifies a version for include and exclude statements, and also specifies a locked date, the specified versions need to be available that date, or the value set will not be usable.

Whether inactive codes - codes that are not approved for current use - are in the value set. If inactive = true, inactive codes are to be included in the expansion, if inactive = false, the inactive codes will not be included in the expansion. If absent, the behavior is determined by the implementation, or by the applicable $expand parameters (but generally, inactive codes would be expected to be included).

Note that in the FHIR terminology framework, "deprecated" does not mean inactive, but in some code systems, e.g. LOINC, "deprecated" does mean inactive. Code systems should define what codes are considered to be inactive. If this is not clearly defined (including in the FHIR code system resource), then all codes are assumed to be active.

The Value Set Definition specification defines an ActiveOnly element, which is the reverse of this element e.g. (ValueSet.compose.inactive=FALSE) is the same as (VSD.ActiveOnly=TRUE).

Include one or more codes from a code system or other value set(s).

All the conditions in an include must be true. If a system is listed, all the codes from the system are listed. If one or more filters are listed, all of the filters must apply. If one or more value sets are listed, the codes must be in all the value sets. E.g. each include is 'include all the codes that meet all these conditions'.

An absolute URI which is the code system from which the selected codes come from.

If there are no codes or filters, the entire code system is included. Note that the set of codes that are included may contain abstract codes. See ''Coding.system'' for further documentation about the correct value for the system element.

The version of the code system that the codes are selected from, or the special version '*' for all versions.

This is used when selecting the descendants of a concept - they may change between versions. If no version is specified, then the exact contents of the value set might not be known until a context of use binds it to a particular version. The special value '*' means all versions; It is at server discretion regarding expansions and which versions must be supported.

Specifies a concept to be included or excluded.

The list of concepts is considered ordered, though the order might not have any particular significance. Typically, the order of an expansion follows that defined in the compose element.

Specifies a code for the concept to be included or excluded.

Expressions are allowed if defined by the underlying code system.

The text to display to the user for this concept in the context of this valueset. If no display is provided, then applications using the value set use the display specified for the code by the system.

The value set resource allows for an alternative display to be specified for when this concept is used in this particular value set. See notes in the value set narrative about the correct use of this element.

Additional representations for this concept when used in this value set - other languages, aliases, specialized purposes, used for particular purposes, etc.

Concepts have both a display and an array of designation. The display is equivalent to a special designation with an implied designation.use of "primary code" and a language equal to the Resource Language.

The language this designation is defined for.

In the absence of a language, the resource language applies.

A human language.

A code that represents types of uses of designations.

If no use is provided, the designation can be assumed to be suitable for general display to a human user.

Details of how a designation would be used.

The text value for this designation.

Select concepts by specify a matching criterion based on the properties (including relationships) defined by the system, or on filters defined by the system. If multiple filters are specified, they SHALL all be true.

Selecting codes by specifying filters based on properties is only possible where the underlying code system defines appropriate properties. Note that in some cases, the underlying code system defines the logical concepts but not the literal codes for the concepts. In such cases, the literal definitions may be provided by a third party.

A code that identifies a property or a filter defined in the code system.

The kind of operation to perform as a part of the filter criteria.

In case filter.property represents a property of the system, the operation applies to the selected property. In case filter.property represents a filter of the system, the operation SHALL match one of the CodeSystem.filter.operator values.

The kind of operation to perform as a part of a property based filter.

The match value may be either a code defined by the system, or a string value, which is a regex match on the literal string of the property value (if the filter represents a property defined in CodeSystem) or of the system filter value (if the filter represents a filter defined in CodeSystem) when the operation is 'regex', or one of the values (true and false), when the operation is 'exists'.

Use regex matching with care - full regex matching on every SNOMED CT term is prohibitive, for example.

Selects the concepts found in this value set (based on its value set definition). This is an absolute URI that is a reference to ValueSet.url. If multiple value sets are specified this includes the union of the contents of all of the referenced value sets.

The value set URI is either a logical reference to a defined value set such as a SNOMED CT reference set, or a direct reference to a value set definition using ValueSet.url. The reference might not refer to an actual FHIR ValueSet resource; in this case, whatever is referred to is an implicit definition of a value set that needs to be clear about how versions are resolved.

Exclude one or more codes from the value set based on code system filters and/or other value sets.

Usually this is used to selectively exclude codes that were included by subsumption in the inclusions. Any display names specified for the codes are ignored.

A value set can also be "expanded", where the value set is turned into a simple collection of enumerated codes. This element holds the expansion, if it has been performed.

Expansion is performed to produce a collection of codes that are ready to use for data entry or validation. Value set expansions are always considered to be stateless - they are a record of the set of codes in the value set at a point in time under a given set of conditions, and are not subject to ongoing maintenance.

Expansion.parameter is a simplified list of parameters - a subset of the features of the Parameters resource.

An identifier that uniquely identifies this expansion of the valueset, based on a unique combination of the provided parameters, the system default parameters, and the underlying system code system versions etc. Systems may re-use the same identifier as long as those factors remain the same, and the expansion is the same, but are not required to do so. This is a business identifier.

Typically, this uri is a UUID (e.g. urn:uuid:8230ff20-c97a-4167-a59d-dc2cb9df16dd).

The time at which the expansion was produced by the expanding system.

This SHOULD be a fully populated instant, but in some circumstances, value sets are expanded by hand, and the expansion is published without that precision.

The total number of concepts in the expansion. If the number of concept nodes in this resource is less than the stated number, then the server can return more using the offset parameter.

Paging only applies to flat expansions.

If paging is being used, the offset at which this resource starts. I.e. this resource is a partial view into the expansion. If paging is not being used, this element SHALL NOT be present.

Paging only applies to flat expansions. If a filter is applied, the count is the number of concepts that matched the filter, not the number of concepts in an unfiltered view of the expansion.
