FHIR Defined Concept Properties

A set of common concept properties for use on coded systems throughout the FHIR eco-system.

Properties

This code system defines the following properties for its concepts

Name Code URI Type Description
Status status http://hl7.org/fhir/concept-properties#status code A code that indicates the status of the concept. Typical values are active, experimental, deprecated, and retired

Concepts

This case-sensitive code system http://hl7.org/fhir/concept-properties defines the following codes:

Code Display Definition Status
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

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 extension
