Detailed Descriptions for the elements in the extension.
Extension | |||||||||||||
Element Id | Extension | ||||||||||||
Definition | An invariant that must be satisfied before responses to the questionnaire can be considered "complete". | ||||||||||||
Cardinality | 0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1 | ||||||||||||
Comments | This maps to the ElementDefinition.constraint element. | ||||||||||||
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. | ||||||||||||
Cardinality | 0..1 | ||||||||||||
Type | string | ||||||||||||
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. | ||||||||||||
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. | ||||||||||||
