Detailed Descriptions for the elements in the extension.

Extension
Element IdExtension
Definition

Refers to another code defined within the code system that is also subsumed by this code. I.e. This concept subsumes the referenced concept. Because meaning is inferred from hierarchy as well as definition, the presence of this extension modifies the meaning of the extended concept.

Control0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
Is Modifiertrue (Reason: This changes the definition of the element causing it to inherit the meaning of the parent concept as well.)
InvariantsDefined on this element
ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (xpath: @value|f:*|h:div)
ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (xpath: exists(f:extension)!=exists(f:*[starts-with(local-name(.), 'value')]))

Control1..1
Typeuri

The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.
