Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be found here.

1. Extension
Definition	Documents obligations that apply to applications implementing this element. The obligations relate to application behaviour, not the content of the element itself in the resource instances that contain this element. Optional Extension Element - found in all resources.
2. Extension.extension:code
SliceName	code
Definition	A code that describes the obligations that apply to implementing applications.
Control	1..*
Comments	The code may be a composite code that has SHALL/SHOULD/MAY along with the nature of the obligation (see the details on the coding system).
3. Extension.extension:code.url
Control	0..?
Fixed Value	code
4. Extension.extension:code.value[x]
Control	1..1
Binding	The codes SHALL be taken from ObligationCodesVS; other codes may be used where these codes are not suitable

Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be found here.

1. Extension
Definition	Documents obligations that apply to applications implementing this element. The obligations relate to application behaviour, not the content of the element itself in the resource instances that contain this element. Optional Extension Element - found in all resources.
Control	0..*
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	A code that describes the obligations that apply to implementing applications. 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.
