Extension ordinal-value - Detailed Descriptions

Detailed Descriptions for the elements in the extension.

Extension
Element IdExtension
Definition

A numeric value that allows the comparison (less than, greater than) or other numerical manipulation of a concept (e.g. Adding up components of a score).

Control0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
Comments

This extension assigns a numerical value to a concept. Assigning a value to a concept should generally be done in a formal code system that defines the value, or in an applicable value set for the concept, but some concepts do not have a formal definition (or are not even represented as a concept formally - often in Questionnaires), so this extension is allowed to appear ouside those preferred contexts. The value may be constrained to an integer in some contexts of use.

Invariants
Inherited by this element
ele-1RuleAll FHIR elements must have a @value or childrenhasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())

Extension.id

Element IdExtension.url
Definition

Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.

Control1..1
Typeuri
Comments

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.
