| Code | Display | Definition | 
| treatment | Treatment | One or more interventions are being evaluated for treating a disease, syndrome, or condition. | 
| prevention | Prevention | One or more interventions are being assessed for preventing the development of a specific disease or health condition. | 
| diagnostic | Diagnostic | One or more interventions are being evaluated for identifying a disease or health condition. | 
| supportive-care | Supportive Care | One or more interventions are evaluated for maximizing comfort, minimizing side effects, or mitigating against a decline in the participant's health or function. | 
| screening | Screening | One or more interventions are assessed or examined for identifying a condition, or risk factors for a condition, in people who are not yet known to have the condition or risk factor. | 
| health-services-research | Health Services Research | One or more interventions for evaluating the delivery, processes, management, organization, or financing of healthcare. | 
| basic-science | Basic Science | One or more interventions for examining the basic mechanism of action (for example, physiology or biomechanics of an intervention). | 
| device-feasibility | Device Feasibility | An intervention of a device product is being evaluated to determine the feasibility of the product or to test a prototype device and not health outcomes. Such studies are conducted to confirm the design and operating specifications of a device before beginning a full clinical trial. |

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 |
