Expansion based on ActClass v3.1.1 (CodeSystem)
| Code | System | Display | Definition | status |
| _SubjectBodyPosition | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActClass | subject body position | Contains codes for defining the observed, physical position of a subject, such as during an observation, assessment, collection of a specimen, etc. ECG waveforms and vital signs, such as blood pressure, are two examples where a general, observed position typically needs to be noted. Deprecation Comment: This concept has been deprecated because it does not describe a type of Act (as it should in the ActClass code system), but rather encodes the result or value of an observation. The same code has been added to the ObservationValue code system. | deprecated |
| LLD | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActClass | left lateral decubitus | Lying on the left side. Deprecation Comment: This concept has been deprecated because it does not describe a type of Act (as it should in the ActClass code system), but rather encodes the result or value of an observation. The same code has been added to the ObservationValue code system. | deprecated |
| PRN | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActClass | prone | Lying with the front or ventral surface downward; lying face down. Deprecation Comment: This concept has been deprecated because it does not describe a type of Act (as it should in the ActClass code system), but rather encodes the result or value of an observation. The same code has been added to the ObservationValue code system. | deprecated |
| RLD | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActClass | right lateral decubitus | Lying on the right side. Deprecation Comment: This concept has been deprecated because it does not describe a type of Act (as it should in the ActClass code system), but rather encodes the result or value of an observation. The same code has been added to the ObservationValue code system. | deprecated |
| SFWL | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActClass | Semi-Fowler's | A semi-sitting position in bed with the head of the bed elevated approximately 45 degrees. Deprecation Comment: This concept has been deprecated because it does not describe a type of Act (as it should in the ActClass code system), but rather encodes the result or value of an observation. The same code has been added to the ObservationValue code system. | deprecated |
| SIT | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActClass | sitting | Resting the body on the buttocks, typically with upper torso erect or semi erect.

The same code has been added to the ObservationValue code system. | deprecated |
| STN | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActClass | standing | To be stationary, upright, vertical, on one's legs. Deprecation Comment: This concept has been deprecated because it does not describe a type of Act (as it should in the ActClass code system), but rather encodes the result or value of an observation. The same code has been added to the ObservationValue code system. | deprecated |
| SUP | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActClass | supine | Deprecation Comment: This concept has been deprecated because it does not describe a type of Act (as it should in the ActClass code system), but rather encodes the result or value of an observation.

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 |
