Detailed Descriptions for the elements in the extension.
Extension | |||||||||||||
Element Id | Extension | ||||||||||||
Definition | An additional code that may be used to represent the concept. | ||||||||||||
Short Display | Additional code for the concept | ||||||||||||
Cardinality | 0..* | ||||||||||||
Comments | Few coding systems define synonyms. A few more define alternate codes for special case use. | ||||||||||||
Invariants |
| ||||||||||||
Extension.id | |||||||||||||
Element Id | Extension.id | ||||||||||||
Definition | Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces. | ||||||||||||
Short Display | Unique id for inter-element referencing | ||||||||||||
Cardinality | 0..1 | ||||||||||||
Type | id | ||||||||||||
Extension.extension | |||||||||||||
Element Id | Extension.extension | ||||||||||||
Definition | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. | ||||||||||||
Short Display | Additional content defined by implementations | ||||||||||||
Cardinality | 0..* | ||||||||||||
Type | Extension | ||||||||||||
Alternate Names | extensions, user content | ||||||||||||
Comments | There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone. | ||||||||||||
