purpose | This extension is defined to support representing artifact metadata on resources that are not already canonical resources that have the corresponding element, and that behave in a definitional way. For example, it would not be appropriate to use this extension on a patient-specific resource such as MedicationRequest or CarePlan. | This extension is defined to support representing artifact metadata on resources that are not already canonical resources that have the corresponding element, and that behave in a definitional way, such as Medication. For example, it would not be appropriate to use this extension on a patient-specific resource such as MedicationRequest or CarePlan. Note that the apparently related [Resource Name extension](StructureDefinition-resource-instance-name.html) is only used as part of the IG publication tooling process, to populate the ImplementationGuide.definition.resource.name and description. For resources where this element was added in R5, the cross-version extension should be used rather than this extension (ConditionDefinition,DeviceDefinition,ExampleScenario,Group,ObservationDefinition,SpecimenDefinition,SubstanceDefinition,SubscriptionTopic). | |
