Detailed Descriptions for the elements in the extension.
Extension | |||||||||||||
Element Id | Extension | ||||||||||||
Definition | A reference to an extensible value set specified in a parent profie in order to allow a conformance checking tool to validate that a code not in the extensible value set of the profile is not violating rules defined by parent profile bindings. | ||||||||||||
Cardinality | 0..* | ||||||||||||
Comments | This extension is only needed where the binding strength is 'extensible', the parents are also 'extensible'. This allows a validator to work around the fact that restricting extensible value sets in child profiles loses constraints out of the parent profiles, (e.g. codes to be used when appropriate). | ||||||||||||

Slicing | This element introduces a set of slices. The slicing rules are:
| ||||||||||||
Extension.url | |||||||||||||
Element Id | Extension.url | ||||||||||||
Definition | Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL. | ||||||||||||
Cardinality | 1..1 | ||||||||||||
Type | uri | ||||||||||||
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. | ||||||||||||
Fixed Value | http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/elementdefinition-inheritedExtensibleValueSet | ||||||||||||
Extension.value[x] | |||||||||||||
Element Id | Extension.value[x] | ||||||||||||
Definition | Value of extension - must be one of a constrained set of the data types (see Extensibility for a list). | ||||||||||||
Cardinality | 1..1 | ||||||||||||
Type | Choice of: uri, canonical(ValueSet) | ||||||||||||
