Definitions for the questionnaire-unitValueSet extension.
Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be found here
| 0. Extension | |
| Definition | A set of units that the user may choose when providing a quantity value. |
| Short | Unit choices |
| Comments | Provide either unitOption(s) or unitValueSet. If either of the extensions are present, the units for a Quantity element are constrained to only the units listed by the extensions - i.e. it is treated as a "required", not an "extensible" binding. In the absence of either, any unit is valid. See additional guidance and examples in the SDC implementation guide. If this extension present and an answer is provided for the question item in the QuestionnaireResponse, then the valueQuantity SHALL have a Quantity.code and Quantity.system that match the Coding.code and system of one of the allowed values if the Coding has a code and/or system. If the Coding only has a display, then the Quantity.unit must match. (Note that Coding with only a display is strongly discouraged.) If there is a match on code and system, but no match on display/unit, systems MAY raise a warning. However, because of translation and bandwidth considerations, some systems MAY opt to drop the unit or express it in an alternate language. Validation of the Quantity unit MAY be performed by using the $validateCode operation, populating the elements passed into the operation from the Quantity.code, system and unit elements. |

| 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. |
