Definitions for the sdc-questionnaire-optionalDisplay extension.
1. Extension | |
Definition | This extension is used when defining high-level questionnaires that will then be used as a basis for 'derived' Questionnaires that are further refined for use in specific organizations or contexts. If the extension is present and set to 'true', it means that this item should be considered to be 'optional' from an adaptation perspective and that the question can be removed (i.e. not displayed) in derived questionnaires without impacting the validity of the instrument. Alternatively, the element can be marked as 'hidden' and 'readOnly' and have a value or descendant item values declared using initialValue or initialExpression. If the element with 'optionalDisplay=true' is marked as 'required=true', then this second approach is the only means to exclude the element from display. |
Control | 0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1 |
Comments | If a group or question that contains other groups or questions is marked as "optional", all of its contents are automatically also treated as optional. |
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()) |
2. 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 |
3. 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. |
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()) |
Slicing | This element introduces a set of slices on Extension.extension. The slices are unordered 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. |
Control | 1..1 |
Type | uri |
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-optionalDisplay |
5. Extension.value[x] | |
Definition | Value of extension - must be one of a constrained set of the data types (see Extensibility for a list). |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | boolean |
[x] Note | See Choice of Data Types for further information about how to use [x] |
