Extension: ObligationsProfile - Detailed Descriptions

Page standards status: Draft Maturity Level: 0

Definitions for the obligations-profile extension.

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

0. Extension
Definition

A declaration that the data in a resource was authored by an application that conformed to the set of element level obligations described in the referenced profile

ShortAuthored by an application conforming to a set of obligations
Comments

This extension is a statement about the provenance of a particular version of the resource that it is describing; as such, it should be made in a Provenance resource referring to that particular version. Alternatively, the extension can be placed in the resource about which the declaration is made (in Resource.meta); in this case, the declaration SHOULD be removed when the resource data is altered (it may be replaced by a new declaration).

Comments

This extension is a statement about the provenance of a particular version of the resource that it is describing; as such, it should be made in a Provenance resource referring to that particular version. Alternatively, the extension can be placed in the resource about which the declaration is made (in Resource.meta); in this case, the declaration SHOULD be removed when the resource data is altered (it may be replaced by a new declaration).

2. Extension.extension
Definition

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.

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.
