The base FHIR resources are defined by the FHIR specification itself but other 'resources' can be defined in additional specifications (though these will not be recognised as 'resources' by the FHIR specification (i.e. they do not get end-points etc, or act as the targets of references in FHIR defined resources - though other specificatiosn can treat them this way)." }, { "code" : "logical", "display" : "Logical", "definition" : "A pattern or a template that is not intended to be a real resource or complex type." }] }
Usage note: every effort has been made to ensure that the examples are correct and useful, but they are not a normative part of the specification.
