| Source Concept Details | Relationship | Target Concept Details | Comment | ||
| Codes from http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/StructureDefinition|1.0.2 | Codes from StructureDefinition | ||||
| StructureDefinition.meta | meta | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.meta | StructureDefinition.meta | Element `StructureDefinition.meta` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.meta` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.meta` do not cover the following types: Meta. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.meta` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: lastUpdated, profile, security, tag, versionId. |
| StructureDefinition.implicitRules | implicitRules | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.implicitRules | StructureDefinition.implicitRules | Element `StructureDefinition.implicitRules` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.implicitRules` as `Equivalent`. Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element as much as possible. |
| StructureDefinition.language | language | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.language | StructureDefinition.language | Element `StructureDefinition.language` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.language` as `Equivalent`. Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute). |
| StructureDefinition.text | text | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.text | StructureDefinition.text | Element `StructureDefinition.text` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.text` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.text` do not cover the following types: Narrative. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.text` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: div, status. Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. |
| StructureDefinition.contained | contained | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.contained | StructureDefinition.contained | Element `StructureDefinition.contained` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.contained` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. |
| StructureDefinition.url | url | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.url | StructureDefinition.url | Element `StructureDefinition.url` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.url` as `Equivalent`. |
| StructureDefinition.identifier | identifier | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.identifier | StructureDefinition.identifier | Element `StructureDefinition.identifier` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.identifier` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.identifier` do not cover the following types: Identifier. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.identifier` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: assigner, period, system, type, use, value. |
| StructureDefinition.version | version | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.version | StructureDefinition.version | Element `StructureDefinition.version` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.version` as `Equivalent`. |
| StructureDefinition.name | name | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.name | StructureDefinition.name | Element `StructureDefinition.name` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.name` as `Equivalent`. Not expected to be globally unique. |
| StructureDefinition.display | display | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.title | StructureDefinition.title | Element `StructureDefinition.display` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.title` as `Equivalent`. Applications don't have to use this name, but can always fall back to it. In the absence of a value for this element, use the name. |
| StructureDefinition.status | status | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.status | StructureDefinition.status | Element `StructureDefinition.status` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.status` as `SourceIsNarrowerThanTarget`. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.status` do not allow expression of the necessary codes, per the bindings on the source and target. |
| StructureDefinition.experimental | experimental | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.experimental | StructureDefinition.experimental | Element `StructureDefinition.experimental` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.experimental` as `Equivalent`. |
| StructureDefinition.publisher | publisher | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.publisher | StructureDefinition.publisher | Element `StructureDefinition.publisher` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.publisher` as `Equivalent`. Usually an organization, but may be an individual. This item SHOULD be populated unless the information is available from context. |
| StructureDefinition.contact | contact | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.contact | StructureDefinition.contact | Element `StructureDefinition.contact` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.contact` as `Equivalent`. May be a web site, an email address, a telephone number (tel:), etc. |
| StructureDefinition.date | date | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.date | StructureDefinition.date | Element `StructureDefinition.date` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.date` as `Equivalent`. Additional specific dates may be added as extensions. |
| StructureDefinition.description | description | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.description | StructureDefinition.description | Element `StructureDefinition.description` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.description` as `Equivalent`. This field can be used for things such as why the StructureDefinition was written, comments about misuse, instructions for clinical use and interpretation, literature references, examples from the paper world, etc. It is *not* a rendering of the StructureDefinition as conveyed in StructureDefinition.text. This item SHOULD be populated unless the information is available from context. |
| StructureDefinition.useContext | useContext | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.jurisdiction | StructureDefinition.jurisdiction | Element `StructureDefinition.useContext` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.useContext` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. Element `StructureDefinition.useContext` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.jurisdiction` as `Equivalent`. |
| is related to | StructureDefinition.useContext | StructureDefinition.useContext | Element `StructureDefinition.useContext` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.useContext` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. Element `StructureDefinition.useContext` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.jurisdiction` as `Equivalent`. | ||
| StructureDefinition.requirements | requirements | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.purpose | StructureDefinition.purpose | Element `StructureDefinition.requirements` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.purpose` as `Equivalent`. This element does not describe the usage of the structure definition (that's done in comments), rather it's for traceability of *why* the element is either needed or why the constraints exist as they do. This may be used to point to source materials or specifications that drove the structure of this data element. |
| StructureDefinition.copyright | copyright | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.copyright | StructureDefinition.copyright | Element `StructureDefinition.copyright` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.copyright` as `Equivalent`. |
| StructureDefinition.code | code | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.keyword | StructureDefinition.keyword | Element `StructureDefinition.code` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.keyword` as `Equivalent`. |
| StructureDefinition.fhirVersion | fhirVersion | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.fhirVersion | StructureDefinition.fhirVersion | Element `StructureDefinition.fhirVersion` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.fhirVersion` as `SourceIsNarrowerThanTarget`. A StructureDefinition does not need to specify the target it applies to,as StructureDefinitions will often be valid across multiple versions of FHIR. FHIR tooling can determine whether a StructureDefinition is consistent with a particular StructureDefinition if desired. |
| StructureDefinition.mapping | mapping | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.mapping | StructureDefinition.mapping | Element `StructureDefinition.mapping` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.mapping` as `Equivalent`. |
| StructureDefinition.mapping.identity | identity | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.mapping.identity | StructureDefinition.mapping.identity | Element `StructureDefinition.mapping.identity` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.mapping.identity` as `Equivalent`. The specification is described once, with general comments, and then specific mappings are made that reference this declaration. |
| StructureDefinition.mapping.uri | uri | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.mapping.uri | StructureDefinition.mapping.uri | Element `StructureDefinition.mapping.uri` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.mapping.uri` as `Equivalent`. A formal identity for the specification being mapped to helps with identifying maps consistently. |
| StructureDefinition.mapping.name | name | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.mapping.name | StructureDefinition.mapping.name | Element `StructureDefinition.mapping.name` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.mapping.name` as `Equivalent`. |
| StructureDefinition.mapping.comments | comments | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.mapping.comment | StructureDefinition.mapping.comment | Element `StructureDefinition.mapping.comments` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.mapping.comment` as `Equivalent`. |
| StructureDefinition.kind | kind | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.kind | StructureDefinition.kind | Element `StructureDefinition.kind` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.kind` as `RelatedTo`. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.kind` do not allow expression of the necessary codes, per the bindings on the source and target. |
| StructureDefinition.constrainedType | constrainedType | is related to | StructureDefinition.type | StructureDefinition.type | Element `StructureDefinition.constrainedType` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.type` as `RelatedTo`. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.constrainedType` do not cover the following types: code. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.constrainedType` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: value. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.constrainedType` do not allow expression of the necessary codes, per the bindings on the source and target. if a constrained type is present, then there SHALL be a base resource as well. Note that the constrained type could be determined by chasing through the base references until the base definition is reached, or by looking at the path of the first element in the snapshot - if present - but providing the constrainedType directly makes for simpler tooling and indexing. |
| StructureDefinition.abstract | abstract | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.abstract | StructureDefinition.abstract | Element `StructureDefinition.abstract` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.abstract` as `Equivalent`. Abstract Resources cannot be instantiated - a concrete sub-type must be used. Abstract datatypes and extensions cannot be used in an instance. Flagging a constraint structure as abstract conveys design intent but makes no difference to how the structure definition is handled. Note that inline declared elements that are given the type "Element" in the profile, but have children described, are anonymous concrete types that specialise Element. Abstract is not relevant for logical models. |
| StructureDefinition.contextType | contextType | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.context.expression | StructureDefinition.context.expression | Element `StructureDefinition.contextType` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.context.expression` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. |
| StructureDefinition.context | context | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.context.expression | StructureDefinition.context.expression | Element `StructureDefinition.context` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.context.expression` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. If the context is an element that can have multiple types, then use (e.g.) value[x] if the extension works on all choice types, or otherwise an enumeration of explicitly named elements if not. Note that a context of "string" doesn't mean that the extension can be used with one of the string patterns such as "id" etc. |
| StructureDefinition.base | base | is equivalent to | StructureDefinition.baseDefinition | StructureDefinition.baseDefinition | Element `StructureDefinition.base` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.baseDefinition` as `Equivalent`. If differential constraints are specified in this structure, they are applied to the base in a "differential" fashion. If there is no base, then the differential constraints cannot be provided (snapshot only). Differential structures are useful for the editing perspective, and snapshot structures are suitable for operational use. The FHIR Project provides a number of tools/services to populate snapshots from differential constraints. Logical Models have a base of "Element" or another logical model. |
| StructureDefinition.snapshot | snapshot | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.snapshot | StructureDefinition.snapshot | Element `StructureDefinition.snapshot` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.snapshot` as `Equivalent`. |
| StructureDefinition.snapshot.element | element | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.snapshot.element | StructureDefinition.snapshot.element | Element `StructureDefinition.snapshot.element` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.snapshot.element` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.snapshot.element` do not cover the following types: ElementDefinition. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.snapshot.element` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: aggregation, alias, base, binding, code, comments, condition, constraint, defaultValue[x], definition, description, discriminator, example[x], fixed[x], human, identity, isModifier, isSummary, key, label, language, map, mapping, max, maxLength, maxValue[x], meaningWhenMissing, min, minValue[x], mustSupport, name, nameReference, ordered, path, pattern[x], profile, representation, requirements, rules, severity, short, slicing, strength, type, valueSet[x], xpath. |
| StructureDefinition.differential | differential | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.differential | StructureDefinition.differential | Element `StructureDefinition.differential` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.differential` as `Equivalent`. |
| StructureDefinition.differential.element | element | maps to wider concept | StructureDefinition.differential.element | StructureDefinition.differential.element | Element `StructureDefinition.differential.element` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `StructureDefinition.differential.element` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.differential.element` do not cover the following types: ElementDefinition. The mappings for `StructureDefinition.differential.element` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: aggregation, alias, base, binding, code, comments, condition, constraint, defaultValue[x], definition, description, discriminator, example[x], fixed[x], human, identity, isModifier, isSummary, key, label, language, map, mapping, max, maxLength, maxValue[x], meaningWhenMissing, min, minValue[x], mustSupport, name, nameReference, ordered, path, pattern[x], profile, representation, requirements, rules, severity, short, slicing, strength, type, valueSet[x], xpath. |

| Source Code | Relationship | Target Code | Comment |
| StructureDefinition.contact.name (name) | maps to wider concept | Extension (DSTU2: Name of a individual to contact (new)) | Element `StructureDefinition.contact.name` has a context of StructureDefinition.contact based on following the parent source element upwards and mapping to `StructureDefinition`. Element `StructureDefinition.contact.name` has no mapping targets in FHIR R4B. Typically, this is because the element has been added (is a new element). If there is no named individual, the telecom is for the organization as a whole. |
