public interface CS
extends CV

Hl7 datatype CS. backed by a Code.

Coded data in its simplest form, where only the code is not predetermined. The code system and code system version are fixed by the context in which the CS value occurs. CS is used for coded attributes that have a single HL7-defined value set.

CS can only be used in either of the following cases:

for a coded attribute which has a single HL7-defined code system, and where code additions to that value set require formal HL7 action (such as harmonization.) Such coded attributes must have type CS.

for a property in this specification that is assigned to a single code system defined either in this specification or defined outside HL7 by a body that has authority over the concept and the maintenance of that code system.

For example, since ED subscribes to the MIME design, it trusts IETF to manage the media type. This includes that this specification subscribes to the extension mechanism built into the MIME media type code (e.g., "application/x-myapp").

For CS values, the designation of the domain qualifier will always be CNE (coded, non-extensible) and the context will determine which HL7 values to use.
