Extension: maxValueSet

FHIR Infrastructure Work Group

Maturity Level: 1

Informative

Use Context: Any

URL for this extension:

http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/elementdefinition-maxValueSet

Status: draft. Extension maintained by: Health Level Seven, Inc. - FHIR Core WG

The maximum allowable value set, for use when the binding strength is 'extensible' or 'preferred'. This value set is the value set from which additional codes can be taken from. This defines a 'required' binding over the top of the extensible binding.

Comment:

Typically, this will be an entire code system, e.g. SNOMED CT. The maximum binding needs to include all the codes in the extensible or preferred binding.

Context of Use: Use on Element ID ElementDefinition.binding
