Extension: unitOption

URL for this extension:

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

Status: draft. Extension maintained by: HL7

A unit that the user may choose when providing a quantity value.

Comment:

Provide either unitOption(s) or unitValueSet. If either of the extensions are present, the units for a Quantity element are constrained to only the units listed by the extensions - i.e. it is treated as a "required", not an "extensible" binding. In the absence of either, any unit is valid.

Context of Use: Use on Element ID Questionnaire.item or Element ID Questionnaire.item.item, with Context Invariant = type='quantity'
