Extension: Resource Satisfies Requirement

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/satisfies-requirement		Version: 5.3.0-ballot-tc1
Standards status: Trial-use	Maturity Level: 2	Computable Name: ResourceSatisfiesRequirement
Other Identifiers: OID:2.16.840.1.113883.4.642.5.1168

References a requirement that this element satisfies. This might be referenced at the resource level by a profile, operation definition, etc. However, it could also point from a specific code in a value set, an interaction or search parameter in a CapabilityStatement, an action in a PlanDefinition, etc. to the requirement satisfied by that specific portion of the resource. Note that this extension is only used as part of the IG publication tooling process. Use the Requirements extension extension for use outside the IG publishing framework.

Complex Extension: References a requirement that this element satisfies. This might be referenced at the resource level by a profile, operation definition, etc. However, it could also point from a specific code in a value set, an interaction or search parameter in a CapabilityStatement, an action in a PlanDefinition, etc. to the requirement satisfied by that specific portion of the resource. Note that this extension is only used as part of the IG publication tooling process. Use the Requirements extension extension for use outside the IG publishing framework.

Id	Grade	Path(s)	Details	Requirements
ele-1	error	ALL elements	All FHIR elements must have a @value or children : hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())
ext-1	error	ALL extensions	Must have either extensions or value[x], not both : extension.exists() != value.exists()

R4B

The extension is represented a little differently in R4B:

Remove the target profile http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Requirements from the element Extension.extension:reference.value[x]
Note: Extensions that have been modified for R4B are still draft while real-world experience is collected

R3

The extension is represented a little differently in R3:
