Definitions for the elementdefinition-type-must-support extension.
Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be found here
| 0. Extension | |
| Definition | If true indicates that the specified type, profile or targetProfile must be supported by implementations. |
| Short | If true, the specified type/profile/target must be supported by implementations |
| Comments | An element may be labelled as must support. This extension clarifies which types/profiles/targetProfiles are must-support. It has no meaning if the element itself is not must-support. If the element is labelled must-support, and none of the options are labelled as must support, then an application must support at least one of the possible options, but is not required to support all of them. Specific details on what it means to 'support' the specified profile will be defined either by the implementation guide, by the profile and/or in usage notes for the element holding the extension. If this extension is not declared on a mustSupport element, the presumption is that implementations need only support one of the potential types unless other documentation in the specification explicitly dictates otherwise. |

| Definition | If true indicates that the specified type, profile or targetProfile must be supported by implementations. Optional Extension Element - found in all resources. |
| Short | If true, the specified type/profile/target must be supported by implementationsOptional Extensions Element |
| Comments | An element may be labelled as must support. This extension clarifies which types/profiles/targetProfiles are must-support. It has no meaning if the element itself is not must-support. If the element is labelled must-support, and none of the options are labelled as must support, then an application must support at least one of the possible options, but is not required to support all of them. Specific details on what it means to 'support' the specified profile will be defined either by the implementation guide, by the profile and/or in usage notes for the element holding the extension. If this extension is not declared on a mustSupport element, the presumption is that implementations need only support one of the potential types unless other documentation in the specification explicitly dictates otherwise. |
| Control | 0..1* |
| Is Modifier | false |
| Invariants | 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. |
| Short | ExtensionAdditional content defined by implementations |
| 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. |
