This code system http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-types defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
Account AccountA financial tool for tracking value accrued for a particular purpose. In the healthcare field, used to track charges for a patient, cost centers, etc.
ActivityDefinition ActivityDefinitionThis resource allows for the definition of some activity to be performed, independent of a particular patient, practitioner, or other performance context.
AdverseEvent AdverseEventActual or potential/avoided event causing unintended physical injury resulting from or contributed to by medical care, a research study or other healthcare setting factors that requires additional monitoring, treatment, or hospitalization, or that results in death.
AllergyIntolerance AllergyIntoleranceRisk of harmful or undesirable, physiological response which is unique to an individual and associated with exposure to a substance.
Appointment AppointmentA booking of a healthcare event among patient(s), practitioner(s), related person(s) and/or device(s) for a specific date/time. This may result in one or more Encounter(s).
AppointmentResponse AppointmentResponseA reply to an appointment request for a patient and/or practitioner(s), such as a confirmation or rejection.
AuditEvent AuditEventA record of an event made for purposes of maintaining a security log. Typical uses include detection of intrusion attempts and monitoring for inappropriate usage.
Basic BasicBasic is used for handling concepts not yet defined in FHIR, narrative-only resources that don't map to an existing resource, and custom resources not appropriate for inclusion in the FHIR specification.
Binary BinaryA binary resource can contain any content, whether text, image, pdf, zip archive, etc.
BodySite BodySiteRecord details about the anatomical location of a specimen or body part. This resource may be used when a coded concept does not provide the necessary detail needed for the use case.
Bundle BundleA container for a collection of resources.
CapabilityStatement CapabilityStatementA Capability Statement documents a set of capabilities (behaviors) of a FHIR Server that may be used as a statement of actual server functionality or a statement of required or desired server implementation.
CarePlan CarePlanDescribes the intention of how one or more practitioners intend to deliver care for a particular patient, group or community for a period of time, possibly limited to care for a specific condition or set of conditions.
CareTeam CareTeamThe Care Team includes all the people and organizations who plan to participate in the coordination and delivery of care for a patient.
ChargeItem ChargeItemThe resource ChargeItem describes the provision of healthcare provider products for a certain patient, therefore referring not only to the product, but containing in addition details of the provision, like date, time, amounts and participating organizations and persons. Main Usage of the ChargeItem is to enable the billing process and internal cost allocation.
Claim ClaimA provider issued list of services and products provided, or to be provided, to a patient which is provided to an insurer for payment recovery.
ClaimResponse ClaimResponseThis resource provides the adjudication details from the processing of a Claim resource.
ClinicalImpression ClinicalImpressionA record of a clinical assessment performed to determine what problem(s) may affect the patient and before planning the treatments or management strategies that are best to manage a patient's condition. Assessments are often 1:1 with a clinical consultation / encounter, but this varies greatly depending on the clinical workflow. This resource is called "ClinicalImpression" rather than "ClinicalAssessment" to avoid confusion with the recording of assessment tools such as Apgar score.
CodeSystem CodeSystemA code system resource specifies a set of codes drawn from one or more code systems.
Communication CommunicationAn occurrence of information being transmitted; e.g. an alert that was sent to a responsible provider, a public health agency was notified about a reportable condition.
CommunicationRequest CommunicationRequestA request to convey information; e.g. the CDS system proposes that an alert be sent to a responsible provider, the CDS system proposes that the public health agency be notified about a reportable condition.
CompartmentDefinition CompartmentDefinitionA compartment definition that defines how resources are accessed on a server.
Composition CompositionA set of healthcare-related information that is assembled together into a single logical document that provides a single coherent statement of meaning, establishes its own context and that has clinical attestation with regard to who is making the statement. While a Composition defines the structure, it does not actually contain the content: rather the full content of a document is contained in a Bundle, of which the Composition is the first resource contained.
ConceptMap ConceptMapA statement of relationships from one set of concepts to one or more other concepts - either code systems or data elements, or classes in class models.
Condition ConditionA clinical condition, problem, diagnosis, or other event, situation, issue, or clinical concept that has risen to a level of concern.

Library LibraryThe Library resource is a general-purpose container for knowledge asset definitions. It can be used to describe and expose existing knowledge assets such as logic libraries and information model descriptions, as well as to describe a collection of knowledge assets.
Linkage LinkageIdentifies two or more records (resource instances) that are referring to the same real-world "occurrence".
List ListA set of information summarized from a list of other resources.
Location LocationDetails and position information for a physical place where services are provided and resources and participants may be stored, found, contained or accommodated.
Measure MeasureThe Measure resource provides the definition of a quality measure.
MeasureReport MeasureReportThe MeasureReport resource contains the results of evaluating a measure.
Media MediaA photo, video, or audio recording acquired or used in healthcare. The actual content may be inline or provided by direct reference.
Medication MedicationThis resource is primarily used for the identification and definition of a medication. It covers the ingredients and the packaging for a medication.
MedicationAdministration MedicationAdministrationDescribes the event of a patient consuming or otherwise being administered a medication. This may be as simple as swallowing a tablet or it may be a long running infusion. Related resources tie this event to the authorizing prescription, and the specific encounter between patient and health care practitioner.
MedicationDispense MedicationDispenseIndicates that a medication product is to be or has been dispensed for a named person/patient. This includes a description of the medication product (supply) provided and the instructions for administering the medication. The medication dispense is the result of a pharmacy system responding to a medication order.
MedicationRequest MedicationRequestAn order or request for both supply of the medication and the instructions for administration of the medication to a patient. The resource is called "MedicationRequest" rather than "MedicationPrescription" or "MedicationOrder" to generalize the use across inpatient and outpatient settings, including care plans, etc., and to harmonize with workflow patterns.
MedicationStatement MedicationStatementA record of a medication that is being consumed by a patient. A MedicationStatement may indicate that the patient may be taking the medication now, or has taken the medication in the past or will be taking the medication in the future. The source of this information can be the patient, significant other (such as a family member or spouse), or a clinician. A common scenario where this information is captured is during the history taking process during a patient visit or stay. The medication information may come from sources such as the patient's memory, from a prescription bottle, or from a list of medications the patient, clinician or other party maintains The primary difference between a medication statement and a medication administration is that the medication administration has complete administration information and is based on actual administration information from the person who administered the medication. A medication statement is often, if not always, less specific. There is no required date/time when the medication was administered, in fact we only know that a source has reported the patient is taking this medication, where details such as time, quantity, or rate or even medication product may be incomplete or missing or less precise. As stated earlier, the medication statement information may come from the patient's memory, from a prescription bottle or from a list of medications the patient, clinician or other party maintains. Medication administration is more formal and is not missing detailed information.
MessageDefinition MessageDefinitionDefines the characteristics of a message that can be shared between systems, including the type of event that initiates the message, the content to be transmitted and what response(s), if any, are permitted.
MessageHeader MessageHeaderThe header for a message exchange that is either requesting or responding to an action. The reference(s) that are the subject of the action as well as other information related to the action are typically transmitted in a bundle in which the MessageHeader resource instance is the first resource in the bundle.
NamingSystem NamingSystemA curated namespace that issues unique symbols within that namespace for the identification of concepts, people, devices, etc. Represents a "System" used within the Identifier and Coding data types.
NutritionOrder NutritionOrderA request to supply a diet, formula feeding (enteral) or oral nutritional supplement to a patient/resident.
Observation ObservationMeasurements and simple assertions made about a patient, device or other subject.
OperationDefinition OperationDefinitionA formal computable definition of an operation (on the RESTful interface) or a named query (using the search interaction).
OperationOutcome OperationOutcomeA collection of error, warning or information messages that result from a system action.
Organization OrganizationA formally or informally recognized grouping of people or organizations formed for the purpose of achieving some form of collective action. Includes companies, institutions, corporations, departments, community groups, healthcare practice groups, etc.

PaymentReconciliation PaymentReconciliationThis resource provides payment details and claim references supporting a bulk payment.
Person PersonDemographics and administrative information about a person independent of a specific health-related context.
PlanDefinition PlanDefinitionThis 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.
Practitioner PractitionerA person who is directly or indirectly involved in the provisioning of healthcare.
PractitionerRole PractitionerRoleA specific set of Roles/Locations/specialties/services that a practitioner may perform at an organization for a period of time.

ProcessRequest ProcessRequestThis resource provides the target, request and response, and action details for an action to be performed by the target on or about existing resources.
ProcessResponse ProcessResponseThis resource provides processing status, errors and notes from the processing of a resource.
Provenance ProvenanceProvenance of a resource is a record that describes entities and processes involved in producing and delivering or otherwise influencing that resource. Provenance provides a critical foundation for assessing authenticity, enabling trust, and allowing reproducibility. Provenance assertions are a form of contextual metadata and can themselves become important records with their own provenance. Provenance statement indicates clinical significance in terms of confidence in authenticity, reliability, and trustworthiness, integrity, and stage in lifecycle (e.g. Document Completion - has the artifact been legally authenticated), all of which may impact security, privacy, and trust policies.
Questionnaire QuestionnaireA 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.
QuestionnaireResponse QuestionnaireResponseA structured set of questions and their answers. The questions are ordered and grouped into coherent subsets, corresponding to the structure of the grouping of the questionnaire being responded to.
ReferralRequest ReferralRequestUsed to record and send details about a request for referral service or transfer of a patient to the care of another provider or provider organization.
RelatedPerson RelatedPersonInformation about a person that is involved in the care for a patient, but who is not the target of healthcare, nor has a formal responsibility in the care process.
RequestGroup RequestGroupA group of related requests that can be used to capture intended activities that have inter-dependencies such as "give this medication after that one".
ResearchStudy ResearchStudyA process where a researcher or organization plans and then executes a series of steps intended to increase the field of healthcare-related knowledge. This includes studies of safety, efficacy, comparative effectiveness and other information about medications, devices, therapies and other interventional and investigative techniques. A ResearchStudy involves the gathering of information about human or animal subjects.
ResearchSubject ResearchSubjectA process where a researcher or organization plans and then executes a series of steps intended to increase the field of healthcare-related knowledge.
