Enum Constant Detail

REPLACE

public static final Patient.LinkType REPLACE

The patient resource containing this link must no longer be used. The link points forward to another patient resource that must be used in lieu of the patient resource that contains this link.

REFER

public static final Patient.LinkType REFER

The patient resource containing this link is in use and valid but not considered the main source of information about a patient. The link points forward to another patient resource that should be consulted to retrieve additional patient information.

SEEALSO

public static final Patient.LinkType SEEALSO

The patient resource containing this link is in use and valid, but points to another patient resource that is known to contain data about the same person. Data in this resource might overlap or contradict information found in the other patient resource. This link does not indicate any relative importance of the resources concerned, and both should be regarded as equally valid.

NULL

public static final Patient.LinkType NULL

Method Detail

values

public static Patient.LinkType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (Patient.LinkType c : Patient.LinkType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Patient.LinkType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

public static Patient.LinkType fromCode(String codeString)
                                 throws org.hl7.fhir.exceptions.FHIRException

Throws:
