This page is part of the FHIR Core Extensions Registry (v5.2.0: Release 5.2) based on FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) v5.0.0.

Extension: Obligation - Detailed Descriptions

Page standards status: Trial-use Maturity Level: 1

Definitions for the obligation extension.

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

0. Extension
Definition

When appearing on an element, documents obligations that apply to applications implementing that element. When appearing at the root of a StructureDefinition, indicates obligations that apply to all listed elements within the extension. When appearing on a type, indicates obligations that apply to the use of that specific type. The obligations relate to application behaviour, not the content of the element itself in the resource instances that contain this element. See Obligation Extension for further detail.

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.

      The code must be a 'selectable' code. If multiple codes are specified, all obligations apply to the associated element(s). When multiple codes are selected, they SHOULD NOT include (directly or by inheritance) a code that is a converse obligation and SHALL NOT include codes that are converses where the strength of both codes is SHALL.

An expected use: limiting obligations to particular jurisdictions (e.g. in IPS).

When appearing on a type, indicates obligations that apply to the use of that specific type. The obligations relate to application behaviour, not the content of the element itself in the resource instances that contain this element. See Obligation Extension for further detail.

                      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.

                          Definition

                          A code that describes the obligation(s) that apply to implementing applications.

                          ShortComposite code describing the nature of the obligation
                          Comments

                          The code must be a 'selectable' code. If multiple codes are specified, all obligations apply to the associated element(s). When multiple codes are selected, they SHOULD NOT include (directly or by inheritance) a code that is a converse obligation and SHALL NOT include codes that are converses where the strength of both codes is SHALL.

Typically obligations are qualified by jurisdiction, but they may also be qualified by gender, workflow status, clinical domain etc. The information to decide whether a usege context applies is usually outside the resource, determined by context, and this might present challenges for validation tooling. An expected use: limiting obligations to particular jurisdictions (e.g. in IPS).
