0. Extension
Definition	Consumers of the value set and the implementations, projects or standards that the author has utilized the value set in.
Short	Who has used and how?

0. Extension
Definition	Consumers of the value set and the implementations, projects or standards that the author has utilized the value set in. Optional Extension Element - found in all resources.

Comments	This is likely to be a point-in-time view and should not be considered an authoritative listing of all uses of the value set.
Control	0..*
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	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	Additional 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.
