Extension: signatureRequired

URL for this extension:

http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/questionnaire-signatureRequired

Status: draft. Extension maintained by: HL7

Indicates that a signature (of the specified type) is needed when completing the QuestionnaireResponse.

Comment:

If this appears at the Questionnaire level, then the signature will be gathered for the entire form when it is marked complete. If it appears on a particular item, then it will be gathered on that question or group when it is filled in. (E.g. seeking the user's initials beside certain questions.)

The signature can be captured using the http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/questionnaireresponse-signature extension.

Context of Use: Use on Element ID Questionnaire, Element ID Questionnaire.item or Element ID Questionnaire.item.item
