All codes in this table are from the system http://hl7.org/fhir/definition-resource-types
| Code | Display | Definition | 
| ActivityDefinition | ActivityDefinition | This resource allows for the definition of some activity to be performed, independent of a particular patient, practitioner, or other performance context. | 
| EventDefinition | EventDefinition | The EventDefinition resource provides a reusable description of when a particular event can occur. | 
| Measure | Measure | The Measure resource provides the definition of a quality measure. | 
| OperationDefinition | OperationDefinition | A formal computable definition of an operation (on the RESTful interface) or a named query (using the search interaction). | 
| PlanDefinition | PlanDefinition | This resource allows for the definition of various types of plans as a sharable, consumable, and executable artifact. The resource is general enough to support the description of a broad range of clinical artifacts such as clinical decision support rules, order sets and protocols. | 
| Questionnaire | Questionnaire | A structured set of questions intended to guide the collection of answers from end-users. Questionnaires provide detailed control over order, presentation, phraseology and grouping to allow coherent, consistent data collection. |

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 organize 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 |
