Version:5.0.0-ballot
Name:maxValueSet
Title:null
Modifier:This extension is not a modifier extension
Status:draft
Definition:This acts as an overall 'required' binding for an element that already has a less restrictive binding. It is used when there is a desire to have a 'small' enumerable binding that meets most needs and where the overall value set that the codes must be drawn from is 'infinite'. The the base less restrictive binding SHALL be a proper subset of the max binding valueset. In most cases, this extension is used where the base binding is 'extensible'.

This acts as an overall 'required' binding for an element that already has a less restrictive binding. It is used when there is a desire to have a 'small' enumerable binding that meets most needs and where the overall value set that the codes must be drawn from is 'infinite'. The the base less restrictive binding SHALL be a proper subset of the max binding valueset. In most cases, this extension is used where the base binding is 'extensible'.

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
