Definitions for the sdc-questionnaire-initialExpression extension.
Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be found here
0. Extension | |
Definition | Initial value for a question answer as determined by an evaluated expression. |
Short | Expression-determined initial value |
Comments | Initial value is only calculated at the time the QuestionnaireResponse is first generated. If the expression returns coded data, it *SHALL return the information as either code or Coding, not CodeableConcept. If the expression returns elements of type 'code', when the user selects one or more candidates, the code will be matched against the allowed Codings (from answerValueSet, answerOptions, or answerExpression). In this case, it is an error if there is more than one Coding with the same code. |

0. Extension | |
Definition | Initial value for a question answer as determined by an evaluated expression. Optional Extension Element - found in all resources. |
Short | Expression-determined initial valueOptional Extensions Element |
Comments | Initial value is only calculated at the time the QuestionnaireResponse is first generated. If the expression returns coded data, it *SHALL return the information as either code or Coding, not CodeableConcept. If the expression returns elements of type 'code', when the user selects one or more candidates, the code will be matched against the allowed Codings (from answerValueSet, answerOptions, or answerExpression). In this case, it is an error if there is more than one Coding with the same code. |
Control | 0..1* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-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() )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 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. |
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. |
