Code Systems

A CodeSystem is used to declare the existence of and describe a code system or code system supplement and its key properties, and optionally define a part of or all of its content. Code systems define which codes (symbols and/or expressions) exist, and how they are understood.

The set of formatCodes used across the healthcare ecosystem is intended to be extensible to easily expand interoperability.
