Expansion

This value set contains 5 concepts

Expansion based on EntityDeterminer v2.1.0 (CodeSystem)

LevelCodeSystemDisplayDefinitionstatus
1  INSTANCEhttp://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-EntityDeterminerspecific

**Description:**A determiner that specifies that the Entity object represents a particular physical thing (as opposed to a universal, kind, or class of physical thing).

Discussion: It does not matter whether an INSTANCE still exists as a whole at the point in time (or process) when we mention it, for example, a drug product lot is an INSTANCE even though it has been portioned out for retail purpose.

2    GROUPhttp://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-EntityDeterminerspecific group

A determiner that specifies that the Entity object represents a particular collection of physical things (as opposed to a universal, kind, or class of physical thing). While the collection may resolve to having only a single individual (or even no individuals), the potential should exist for it to cover multiple individuals.

1  KINDhttp://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-EntityDeterminerdescribed

**Description:**A determiner that specifies that the Entity object represents a universal, kind or class of physical thing (as opposed to a particular thing).

2    GROUPKINDhttp://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-EntityDeterminerdescribed group

A determiner that specifies that the Entity object represents a universal, kind or class of collections physical things. While the collection may resolve to having only a single individual (or even no individuals), the potential should exist for it to cover multiple individuals.

2    QUANTIFIED_KINDhttp://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-EntityDeterminerdescribed quantified

The described quantified determiner indicates that the given Entity is taken as a general description of a specific amount of a thing. For example, QUANTIFIED_KIND of syringe (quantity = 3,) stands for exactly three syringes.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
System The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance)
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
Definition An explanation of the meaning of the concept
Comments Additional notes about how to use the code
