Declared facility implementation capacity tiers, retaining historical code identities. Capacity informs delivery format, sequence and support; it does not determine clinical eligibility, permit delayed risk-led care or exclude educational domains. All eight domains are offered at every tier. These labels are not a scored readiness instrument or proof of actual coverage.

This Code system is referenced in the definition of the following value sets:

This case-sensitive code system https://fhir.heartlandprotocol.org/CodeSystem/heartland-implementation-tier defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
tier-1-minimal Tier 1 - Minimal Resource-constrained capacity. Adapt format, sequence and support; document gaps, named coverage, alternatives and escalation without omitting required care or relevant education.
tier-2-standard Tier 2 - Standard Intermediate implementation capacity with locally documented staffing, monitoring routes and navigation support. Capacity alone does not establish treatment sequence or deadlines.
tier-3-advanced Tier 3 - Advanced Expanded implementation capacity, potentially including multidisciplinary and digital support. The label alone does not prove availability, coverage, patient access or better outcomes.
