Definitions for the elementdefinition-question extension.
Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be found here.
| 1. Extension | |
| Definition | The default/suggested phrasing to use when prompting a human to capture the data element in question form (e.g. In a survey). Optional Extension Element - found in all resources. |
| Comments | Question and label serve similar purposes in they both can be used to prompt for capturing a data element. Whether the question form or label form should be used will depend on the type of instrument being used to capture the information. The ordering is in order of preference. I.e. Most preferred question form is listed first. Note that this is for alternate phrasings of the question. Language translations are handled using the ISO 21090 string translation extensions. |
| 2. Extension.extension | |
| Control | 0..0* |
| 3. Extension.url | |
| Fixed Value | http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/elementdefinition-question |
| 4. Extension.value[x] | |
| Control | 10..1 |
| Type | Choice of: , date, Meta, Address, Attachment, integer, Count, DataRequirement, Dosage, uuid, Identifier, RatioRange, Coding, SampledData, id, positiveInt, Distance, Availability, integer64, Period, Duration, canonical, Range, RelatedArtifact, base64Binary, UsageContext, Timing, decimal, ExtendedContactDetail, CodeableConcept, ParameterDefinition, dateTime, code, oid, instant, ContactPoint, HumanName, Money, markdown, Ratio, Age, Reference, TriggerDefinition, Quantity, uri, url, Annotation, ContactDetail, boolean, Expression, CodeableReference, Signature, unsignedInt, time |

| 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 | |
| Definition | An Extension 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 | 0..0* |
| 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()) |
| Slicing | This element introduces a set of slices on Extension.extension. The slices are unordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators:
|
| 3. Extension.url | |
| Definition | Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL. |
| Control | 1..1 |
| Type | uri |
| XML Representation | In the XML format, this property is represented as an attribute. |
| Summary | false |
| Comments | The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension. |
| Fixed Value | http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/elementdefinition-question |
| 4. Extension.value[x] | |
| Definition | Value of extension - must be one of a constrained set of the data types (see Extensibility for a list). |
| Control | 10..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ext-1 |
| Type | Choice of: string, date, Meta, Address, Attachment, integer, Count, DataRequirement, Dosage, uuid, Identifier, RatioRange, Coding, SampledData, id, positiveInt, Distance, Availability, integer64, Period, Duration, canonical, Range, RelatedArtifact, base64Binary, UsageContext, Timing, decimal, ExtendedContactDetail, CodeableConcept, ParameterDefinition, dateTime, code, oid, instant, ContactPoint, HumanName, Money, markdown, Ratio, Age, Reference, TriggerDefinition, Quantity, uri, url, Annotation, ContactDetail, boolean, Expression, CodeableReference, Signature, unsignedInt, time |
