| Code | Display | Definition | 
| = | Equals | The specified property of the code equals the provided value. | 
| is-a | Is A (by subsumption) | Includes all concept ids that have a transitive is-a relationship with the concept Id provided as the value, including the provided concept itself (i.e. include child codes) | 
| descendent-of | Descendent Of (by subsumption) | Includes all concept ids that have a transitive is-a relationship with the concept Id provided as the value, excluding the provided concept itself (i.e. include child codes) | 
| is-not-a | Not (Is A) (by subsumption) | The specified property of the code does not have an is-a relationship with the provided value. | 
| regex | Regular Expression | The specified property of the code matches the regex specified in the provided value. | 
| in | In Set | The specified property of the code is in the set of codes or concepts specified in the provided value (comma separated list). | 
| not-in | Not in Set | The specified property of the code is not in the set of codes or concepts specified in the provided value (comma separated list). | 
| generalizes | Generalizes (by Subsumption) | Includes all concept ids that have a transitive is-a relationship from the concept Id provided as the value, including the provided concept itself (e.g. include parent codes) | 
| exists | Exists | The specified property of the code has at least one value (if the specified value is true; if the specified value is false, then matches when the specified property of the code has no values) |

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
| Lvl | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organise codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information | 
| 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 | 
| Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
