| Definition | Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL. |
| Short | identifies the meaning of the extension |
| 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. |

| XML Format | In the XML format, this property is represented as an attribute. |
| Fixed Value | http://hl7.org/fhir/4.3/StructureDefinition/extension-MedicationRequest.dispenseRequest.numberOfRepeatsAllowed |
| 4. Extension.value[x] | |
| Definition | An integer indicating the number of times, in addition to the original dispense, (aka refills or repeats) that the patient can receive the prescribed medication. Usage Notes: This integer does not include the original order dispense. This means that if an order indicates dispense 30 tablets plus "3 repeats", then the order can be dispensed a total of 4 times and the patient can receive a total of 120 tablets. A prescriber may explicitly say that zero refills are permitted after the initial dispense. Value of extension - may be a resource or one of a constrained set of the data types (see Extensibility in the spec for list). |

| 2. Extension.id | |

| Type | string |
| Primitive Value | This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension |
| XML Format | In the XML format, this property is represented as an attribute. |
| 4. Extension.extension | |
| Definition | 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. |
| Short | Additional 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. |
