R4B: EvidenceReport.subject (new:BackboneElement)


Optional Extension Element - found in all resources.

ShortR4B: Focus of the report (new)Optional Extensions Element
Comments

Element EvidenceReport.subject is not mapped to FHIR STU3, since FHIR R4B EvidenceReport is not mapped. Element EvidenceReport.subject has no mapping targets in FHIR STU3. Typically, this is because the element has been added (is a new element). While the source element matches Basic element path (), the definitions are not compatible (source: BackboneElement:1..1 -> basic: Reference(http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Resource):0..1). May be used as an expression for search queries and search results

Definition

An Extension


May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. In order 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 is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

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.

                    Element EvidenceReport.subject.characteristic.period is part of an existing definition because parent element EvidenceReport.subject.characteristic requires a cross-version extension. Element EvidenceReport.subject.characteristic.period is not mapped to FHIR STU3, since FHIR R4B EvidenceReport is not mapped. Element EvidenceReport.subject.characteristic.period has no mapping targets in FHIR STU3. Typically, this is because the element has been added (is a new element).

In order 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 is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

                    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.
