Extension animal - Detailed Descriptions

Detailed Descriptions for the elements in the extension.

Extension
Element IdExtension
Definition

This patient is known to be an animal.

Short DisplayThis patient is known to be an animal (non-human)
Cardinality0..1
Comments

The absence of the animal extension does not imply that the patient is a human. If a system requires such a positive assertion that the patient is human, an extension will be required. (Do not use a species of homo-sapiens in animal species, as this would incorrectly infer that the patient is an animal).

Invariants

ele-1RuleAll FHIR elements must have a @value or childrenhasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())
ext-1RuleMust have either extensions or value[x], not bothextension.exists() != value.exists()
Extension.id
Element IdExtension.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 DisplayUnique id for inter-element referencing
Cardinality0..1
Typeid
Extension.extension
Element IdExtension.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.

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.

SlicingThis element introduces a set of slices. The slicing rules are:
  • unordered
  • Open
  • discriminators: value:url
Extension.extension(species)
Element IdExtension.extension:species
Definition

Identifies the high level taxonomic categorization of the kind of animal.

Short DisplayThe animal species. E.g. Dog, Cow.
Cardinality1..1
TypeExtension
Comments

If the patient is non-human, at least a species SHALL be specified. Species SHALL be a widely recognized taxonomic classification. It might or might not be Linnaean taxonomy and might or might not be at the level of species. If the level is finer than species--such as a breed code--the code system used SHALL allow inference of the species. (The common example is that the word "Hereford" does not allow inference of the species Bos taurus, because there is a Hereford pig breed, but the SNOMED CT code for "Hereford Cattle Breed" does.).
