This code system defines the following properties for its concepts

Name | Code | URI | Type | Description
Concept Domain that classifies a RIM Class Code | rim-ClassifiesClassCode | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/utg-concept-properties#rim-ClassifiesClassCode | Coding | The child code is a classification of the particular class group identified by the 'classCode' in a RIM class as the parent code. Used only in RIM backbone classes to link the code and classCode values.
Status | status | http://hl7.org/fhir/concept-properties#status | code | A property that indicates the status of the concept. One of active, experimental, deprecated, or retired.
Deprecation Date | deprecationDate | http://hl7.org/fhir/concept-properties#deprecationDate | dateTime | The date at which a concept was deprecated. Concepts that are deprecated but not inactive can still be used, but their use is discouraged.
