Topic: ValueSet.expansion.total

Is this the total number of concept in the expansion defined by ValueSet definition or the total number of concept in the actual expansion operation? For example, a value set has 100 concept in its compose.include.concept, while doing $expand operation with an expansion profile generates 50 concepts, what is the ValueSet.expansion.total in such operation result?
Peter Jordan (Apr 29 2018 at 20:14):
The only total element I see in the ValueSet resource is expansion.total which is the 'total number of codes in the expansion'. There is no total element within the compose element. Therefore in this example the expansion.total would be 50.

OK. Thanks
Rob Hausam (Apr 29 2018 at 20:31):
Yes, I agree with Peter. This should be the total number of codes in the full expansion (which may be more than are in the current resource instance), and would be based on all of the parameters that used to determine the expansion (i.e. the VSD + the profile, if one is specified).
