Definitions for the elementdefinition-bestpractice extension.
Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be found here
| 0. Extension | |
| Definition | Mark that an invariant represents 'best practice' rule - a rule that implementers may choose to enforce at error level in some or all circumstances. |
| Short | Mark a warning invariant as 'best practice' |
| Comments | Validators may/should offer implementers the choice to enforce invariants labeled as 'best practice' as errors not warnings. |
| Control | 0..1 |
| 2. Extension.extension | |

| 4. Extension.url | |
| Fixed Value | http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/elementdefinition-bestpractice |
| 6. Extension.value[x] | |
| Control | 1..? |
| Binding | Unless not suitable, these codes SHALL be taken from ContextOfUseValueSet (extensible to http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/use-context) |
| Type | Choice of: boolean, CodeableConcept, date, Meta, Address, Attachment, integer, Count, DataRequirement, Dosage, uuid, Identifier, RatioRange, Coding, SampledData, id, positiveInt, Distance, Availability, integer64, Period, Duration, canonical, Range, RelatedArtifact, base64Binary, UsageContext, Timing, decimal, ExtendedContactDetail, ParameterDefinition, dateTime, code, string, oid, instant, ContactPoint, HumanName, Money, markdown, Ratio, Age, Reference, TriggerDefinition, Quantity, uri, url, Annotation, ContactDetail, Expression, CodeableReference, Signature, unsignedInt, time |
| [x] Note | See Choice of Data Types for further information about how to use [x] |

| 0. Extension | |
| Definition | Mark that an invariant represents 'best practice' rule - a rule that implementers may choose to enforce at error level in some or all circumstances. Optional Extension Element - found in all resources. |

| Comments | Validators may/should offer implementers the choice to enforce invariants labeled as 'best practice' as errors not warnings. |
| Control | 0..1* |
| Is Modifier | false |
| Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (extension.exists() != value.exists()) |
| 2. Extension.extension | |
| Definition | An Extension 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. |
| Short | ExtensionAdditional content defined by implementations |
| 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. |

| Slicing | This element introduces a set of slices on Extension.extension. The slices areUnordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators: |
| 4. Extension.url | |
| Definition | Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL. |
| Short | identifies the meaning of the extension |
| Comments | 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. |
