Extension eventTiming - Detailed Descriptions

Detailed Descriptions for the elements in the extension.

Extension
Definition	Regular life events the observation is tied to. This is useful for recording imprecise or "fuzzy" times when the observation occurred. For example, a blood glucose measurement "after breakfast". It is interpreted as relative to the `effectiveTime` element or the `issued` element if `effectiveTime` is absent. For example the blood glucose measurement could be reported that same day ("today after breakfast") or some other day ("yesterday after breakfast").
Control	0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
Invariants	Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (xpath: @value\|f:\|h:div) ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (xpath: exists(f:extension)!=exists(f:[starts-with(local-name(.), 'value')]))
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
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.
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.
Slicing	This element introduces a set of slices. The slicing rules are: unordered Open discriminators: value:url
Extension.extension(code)
Definition	Real world event that coincides with the effective time of the observation.
Control	0..1
Type	Extension
Comments	For text only time the `.text` element can be used. (e.g. "right before I walked the dog").
Extension.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

Slicing	This element introduces a set of slices. The slicing rules are: unordered Open discriminators: value:url
Extension.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	code
Extension.extension.valueCodeableConcept
Definition	Value of extension - may be a resource or one of a constrained set of the data types (see Extensibility in the spec for list).
Control	0..1
Terminology Binding	null The codes SHALL be taken from v3 Code System TimingEvent; other codes may be used where these codes are not suitable
Type	CodeableConcept
Extension.extension(offset)
Definition	The duration of time before or after the event in `code`. If the observation occurred before the event, a negative decimal is used. (for example 30 minutes before = -30 m) If the observation occurred after the event a positive decimal is used.(for example 2 hrs after = 2 h).
Control	0..1
Type	Extension
Comments	Avoid nonsensical combinations of code and offset such as an offset = 30 minutes before and a code = after dinner.
Extension.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.
