1. Extension
Definition	An additional code that may be used to represent the concept. Optional Extension Element - found in all resources.
Control	0..*
Comments	Few coding systems define synonyms. A few more define alternate codes for special case use.
Invariants	Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (: extension.exists() != value.exists())
2. Extension.extension:code
SliceName	code
Definition	The code that may be used to represent the concept. 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 managable, 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.
Control	10..1*
Type	Extension
Summary	false
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.
Invariants	Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (: extension.exists() != value.exists())

Control	1..1
Type	uri
XML Representation	In the XML format, this property is represented as an attribute.
