Code	Display	Definition
value	Value	The slices have different values in the nominated element
exists	Exists	The slices are differentiated by the presence or absence of the nominated element
pattern	Pattern	The slices have different values in the nominated element, as determined by testing them against the applicable ElementDefinition.pattern[x]
type	Type	The slices are differentiated by type of the nominated element to a specifed profile

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

Source

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). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')

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
