    • Field Detail

      • GROUPED_BY

        public static final CodeSystemHierarchyMeaning GROUPED_BY
        Grouped By

        No particular relationship between the concepts can be assumed, except what can be determined by inspection of the definitions of the elements (possible reasons to use this: importing from a source where this is not defined, or where various parts of the hierarchy have different meanings).

      • IS_A

        public static final CodeSystemHierarchyMeaning IS_A
        Is-A

        A hierarchy where the child concepts have an IS-A relationship with the parents - that is, all the properties of the parent are also true for its child concepts. Not that is-a is a property of the concepts, so additional subsumption relationships may be defined using properties or the [subsumes](extension-codesystem-subsumes.html) extension.

      • PART_OF

        public static final CodeSystemHierarchyMeaning PART_OF
        Part Of

        Child elements list the individual parts of a composite whole (e.g. body site).

      • CLASSIFIED_WITH

        public static final CodeSystemHierarchyMeaning CLASSIFIED_WITH
        Classified With

        Child concepts in the hierarchy may have only one parent, and there is a presumption that the code system is a "closed world" meaning all things must be in the hierarchy. This results in concepts such as "not otherwise classified.".
