This resource allows for the definition of some activity to be performed, independent of a particular patient, practitioner, or other performance context.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content.

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.

This element is labelled as a modifier because the implicit rules may provide additional knowledge about the resource that modifies it's meaning or interpretation.

This resource allows for the definition of some activity to be performed, independent of a particular patient, practitioner, or other performance context.

The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.

The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content may not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content.

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.

This element is labelled as a modifier because the implicit rules may provide additional knowledge about the resource that modifies it's meaning or interpretation.

The base language in which the resource is written.

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).

Unless not suitable, these codes SHALL be taken from Common Languages
(extensible to http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/languages|3.0.2)

A human language.

A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource, and may be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded in formation is added later.

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

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.

An absolute URI that is used to identify this activity definition when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance. This SHALL be a URL, SHOULD be globally unique, and SHOULD be an address at which this activity definition is (or will be) published. The URL SHOULD include the major version of the activity definition. For more information see Technical and Business Versions.

Can be a urn:uuid: or a urn:oid:, but real http: addresses are preferred. Multiple instances may share the same url if they have a distinct version.

Allows the activity definition to be referenced by a single globally unique identifier.

A formal identifier that is used to identify this activity definition when it is represented in other formats, or referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance.

Typically, this is used for identifiers that can go in an HL7 V3 II (instance identifier) data type, e.g., to identify this activity definition outside of FHIR, where it is not possible to use the logical URI.

Allows externally provided and/or usable business identifiers to be easily associated with the module.

The identifier that is used to identify this version of the activity definition when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the activity definition author and is not expected to be globally unique. For example, it might be a timestamp (e.g. yyyymmdd) if a managed version is not available. There is also no expectation that versions can be placed in a lexicographical sequence. To provide a version consistent with the Decision Support Service specification, use the format Major.Minor.Revision (e.g. 1.0.0). For more information on versioning knowledge assets, refer to the Decision Support Service specification. Note that a version is required for non-experimental active assets.

There may be different activity definition instances that have the same identifier but different versions. The version can be appended to the url in a reference to allow a refrence to a particular business version of the activity definition with the format [url]|[version].

A natural language name identifying the activity definition. This name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation.

The name is not expected to be globally unique. The name should be a simple alpha-numeric type name to ensure that it is computable friendly.

Support human navigation and code generation.

A short, descriptive, user-friendly title for the activity definition.

This name does not need to be machine-processing friendly and may contain punctuation, white-space, etc.

The status of this activity definition. Enables tracking the life-cycle of the content.

Allows filtering of activity definitions that are appropriate for use vs. not.
This is labeled as "Is Modifier" because applications should not use a retired activity definition without due consideration.

The lifecycle status of a Value Set or Concept Map.

A boolean value to indicate that this activity definition is authored for testing purposes (or education/evaluation/marketing), and is not intended to be used for genuine usage.

Allows filtering of activity definition that are appropriate for use vs. not. This is labeled as "Is Modifier" because applications should not use an experimental activity definition in production.

Enables experimental content to be developed following the same lifecycle that would be used for a production-level activity definition.

The date (and optionally time) when the activity definition was published. The date must change if and when the business version changes and it must change if the status code changes. In addition, it should change when the substantive content of the activity definition changes.

Note that this is not the same as the resource last-modified-date, since the resource may be a secondary representation of the activity definition. Additional specific dates may be added as extensions or be found by consulting Provenances associated with past versions of the resource.

The name of the individual or organization that published the activity definition.

Usually an organization, but may be an individual. The publisher (or steward) of the activity definition is the organization or individual primarily responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the activity definition. This is not necessarily the same individual or organization that developed and initially authored the content. The publisher is the primary point of contact for questions or issues with the activity definition. This item SHOULD be populated unless the information is available from context.

Helps establish the "authority/credibility" of the activity definition. May also allow for contact.

A free text natural language description of the activity definition from a consumer's perspective.

This description can be used to capture details such as why the activity definition was built, comments about misuse, instructions for clinical use and interpretation, literature references, examples from the paper world, etc. It is not a rendering of the activity definition as conveyed in the 'text' field of the resource itself. This item SHOULD be populated unless the information is available from context (e.g. the language of the profile is presumed to be the predominant language in the place the profile was created).

Explaination of why this activity definition is needed and why it has been designed as it has.

This element does not describe the usage of the activity definition Instead it provides traceability of ''why'' the resource is either needed or ''why'' it is defined as it is. This may be used to point to source materials or specifications that drove the structure of this activity definition.

A detailed description of how the asset is used from a clinical perspective.

The date on which the resource content was approved by the publisher. Approval happens once when the content is officially approved for usage.

The 'date' element may be more recent than the approval date because of minor changes / editorial corrections.

The date on which the resource content was last reviewed. Review happens periodically after approval, but doesn't change the original approval date.

If specified, this is usually after the approval date.

Gives a sense of how "current" the content is. Resources that have not been reviewed in a long time may have a risk of being less appropriate/relevant.

The period during which the activity definition content was or is planned to be in active use.

The effective period for a activity definition determines when the content is applicable for usage and is independent of publication and review dates. For example, a measure intended to be used for the year 2016 might be published in 2015.

Allows establishing a transition before a resource comes into effect and also allows for a sunsetting process when new versions of a the activity definition are or are expected to be used instead.

The content was developed with a focus and intent of supporting the contexts that are listed. These terms may be used to assist with indexing and searching for appropriate activity definition instances.

When multiple useContexts are specified, there is no expectation whether all or any of the contexts apply.

Assist in searching for appropriate content.

R5: ActivityDefinition.library additional types (canonical(http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Library)) additional types from child elements (value)

Element ActivityDefinition.library is mapped to FHIR STU3 element ActivityDefinition.library as SourceIsBroaderThanTarget. The mappings for ActivityDefinition.library do not cover the following types: canonical. The mappings for ActivityDefinition.library do not cover the following types based on type expansion: value.

A reference to a location at which the other resource is found. The reference may be a relative reference, in which case it is relative to the service base URL, or an absolute URL that resolves to the location where the resource is found. The reference may be version specific or not. If the reference is not to a FHIR RESTful server, then it should be assumed to be version specific. Internal fragment references (start with '#') refer to contained resources.

Using absolute URLs provides a stable scalable approach suitable for a cloud/web context, while using relative/logical references provides a flexible approach suitable for use when trading across closed eco-system boundaries. Absolute URLs do not need to point to a FHIR RESTful server, though this is the preferred approach. If the URL conforms to the structure "/[type]/[id]" then it should be assumed that the reference is to a FHIR RESTful server.

An identifier for the other resource. This is used when there is no way to reference the other resource directly, either because the entity is not available through a FHIR server, or because there is no way for the author of the resource to convert a known identifier to an actual location. There is no requirement that a Reference.identifier point to something that is actually exposed as a FHIR instance, but it SHALL point to a business concept that would be expected to be exposed as a FHIR instance, and that instance would need to be of a FHIR resource type allowed by the reference.

When an identifier is provided in place of a reference, any system processing the reference will only be able to resolve the identifier to a reference if it understands the business context in which the identifier is used. Sometimes this is global (e.g. a national identifier) but often it is not. For this reason, none of the useful mechanisms described for working with references (e.g. chaining, includes) are possible, nor should servers be expected to be able resolve the reference. Servers may accept an identifier based reference untouched, resolve it, and/or reject it - see CapabilityStatement.rest.resource.referencePolicy.

When both an identifier and a literal reference are provided, the literal reference is preferred. Applications processing the resource are allowed - but not required - to check that the identifier matches the literal reference

Applications converting a logical reference to a literal reference may choose to leave the logical reference present, or remove it.

Plain text narrative that identifies the resource in addition to the resource reference.

This is generally not the same as the Resource.text of the referenced resource. The purpose is to identify what's being referenced, not to fully describe it.

The mappings for ActivityDefinition.location do not cover the following types based on type expansion: concept. May reference a specific clinical location or may just identify a type of location.

A reference to a location at which the other resource is found.

R5: ActivityDefinition.participant.typeCanonical (new:canonical(CapabilityStatement))

Element ActivityDefinition.participant.typeCanonical has a context of ActivityDefinition.participant based on following the parent source element upwards and mapping to ActivityDefinition. Element ActivityDefinition.participant.typeCanonical has no mapping targets in FHIR STU3. Typically, this is because the element has been added (is a new element).

R5: ActivityDefinition.participant.typeReference (new:Reference(CareTeam,Device,DeviceDefinition,Endpoint,Group,HealthcareService,Location,Organization,Patient,Practitioner,PractitionerRole,RelatedPerson))

Element ActivityDefinition.participant.typeReference has a context of ActivityDefinition.participant based on following the parent source element upwards and mapping to ActivityDefinition. Element ActivityDefinition.participant.typeReference has no mapping targets in FHIR STU3. Typically, this is because the element has been added (is a new element). When this element is a reference, it SHOULD be a reference to a definitional resource (for example, a location type, rather than a specific location).

R5: ActivityDefinition.participant.function (new:CodeableConcept)

Element ActivityDefinition.participant.function has a context of ActivityDefinition.participant based on following the parent source element upwards and mapping to ActivityDefinition. Element ActivityDefinition.participant.function has no mapping targets in FHIR STU3. Typically, this is because the element has been added (is a new element).

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element, and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. 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. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

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.
