Definitions for the sdc-questionnaire-candidateExpression Profile.
Extension | |
Definition | A FHIRPath expression or FHIR Query that resolves to a list of candidate answers for the question item or that establishes context for a group item. The user may select from among the candidates to choose answers for the question. |
Control | 0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1 |
Comments | The results of the expression must correspond to the item type of the question the element appears on or must correspond to a resource, backbone element or complex data type for a group item. Resources are considered a match for the Reference item type. Quantity can be a match for decimal and integer items so long as a questionnaire-unit extension is present. |
Invariants | Defined on this element 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()) |
Extension.id | |
Definition | Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | string |
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 manageable, 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. |
Control | 0..* |
Type | Extension |
Alternate Names | extensions, user content |
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. |
Extension.url | |
Definition | Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL. |
Control | 1..1 |
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. |
Fixed Value | http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/sdc/StructureDefinition/sdc-questionnaire-candidateExpression |
Extension.valueExpression | |
Definition | Value of extension - may be a resource or one of a constrained set of the data types (see Extensibility in the spec for list). |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | Expression |
