Extension: Target invariant

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/cqf-targetInvariant				Version: 5.3.0-ballot-tc1
Standards status: Deprecated		Maturity Level: 2	Responsible: HL7 International / Clinical Decision Support	Computable Name: TargetInvariant
Other Identifiers: OID:2.16.840.1.113883.4.642.5.1694

DEPRECATED: Use the targetConstraint extension instead. Specifies an invariant that is enforced on instantiated resources. This extension can be applied to any element of a definitional resource (such as ActivityDefinition or Measure) and indicates that the invariant should be enforced on resources that are instantiated from the definition. For example, this extension can be used to define a constraint such as numerator count must be less than or equal to denominator count.

This extension allows invariants to be specified as part of definitional resources as an alternative to having to define a profile to enforce the constraint.

R3

The extension is represented a little differently in R3:

• Replace the type Expression with a set of extensions for the content of the type along with the _datatype extension
