MdfHmdMetSourceType Code to identify the source of a Message Element Type represented in the 'of MET' column of an HMD.
Lvl | Type, Domain name and/or Mnemonic code | Concept ID | Mnemonic | Print Name | Definition/Description
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
1 | L: (C) | C10079 | C | Common MET | This message element type is an HL7 common message element type.
1 | L: (D) | C10078 | D | Data type | This message element type is an HL7 data type.
1 | L: (N) | C10077 | N | New type | New type. This row starts the definition of a new message element type. The subordinate rows beneath it compose the definition of the type. Each of these subordinate rows has the name of the message element type being defined in the In Message Element Type column. That name will be the same one that is in the Of Message Element Type of this row.
1 | L: (U) | C10080 | U | Re-used MET | This message element type was previously defined in this HMD and is being reused
1 | L: (R) | C10081 | R | Recursive | This row represents the recursive reuse of the message element type within which is appears. See 10.3.3.3.
1 | L: (I) | C10082 | I | Reference | This row represents a reference to a previously defined type. Such a reference means that, in a given message, the message element instance for the current row is identical to the message element instance that instantiates the referred row.
