Extension: OfficialAddress - Detailed Descriptions

Definitions for the address-official extension.

0. Extension
Definition

This extension allows to specify if this address is or it is not the official address, or to indicate that this is the official address for that country (true assumed). Note: It does not make sense to repeat this extension without the valueCodeableConcept to specify jurisdictions.

The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.

    4. 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.
