Definitions for the actualgroup Profile.
Group | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Element Id | Group | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Definition | Represents a defined collection of entities that may be discussed or acted upon collectively but which are not expected to act collectively, and are not formally or legally recognized; i.e. a collection of entities that isn't an Organization. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Short Display | Group of multiple entities | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cardinality | 1..1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Comments | If both Group.characteristic and Group.member are present, then the members are the individuals who were found who met the characteristic. It's possible that there might be other candidate members who meet the characteristic and aren't (yet) in the list. All members SHALL have the listed characteristics. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Invariants |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Group.id | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Element Id | Group.id | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Definition | The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Short Display | Logical id of this artifact | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cardinality | 0..1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Type | id | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Comments | Within the context of the FHIR RESTful interactions, the resource has an id except for cases like the create and conditional update. Otherwise, the use of the resouce id depends on the given use case. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Group.meta | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Element Id | Group.meta | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Definition | The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Short Display | Metadata about the resource | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cardinality | 0..1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Type | Meta | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Invariants |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Group.implicitRules | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Element Id | Group.implicitRules | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Definition | A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Short Display | A set of rules under which this content was created | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cardinality | 0..1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Type | uri | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Is Modifier | true (Reason: This element is labeled as a modifier because the implicit rules may provide additional knowledge about the resource that modifies its meaning or interpretation) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Comments | 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. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of its narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Invariants |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Group.language | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Element Id | Group.language | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Definition | The base language in which the resource is written. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Short Display | Language of the resource content | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cardinality | 0..1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Terminology Binding | IETF language tag for a human language The codes SHALL be taken from All Languages | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Type | code | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Comments | 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). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Invariants |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Group.text | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Element Id | Group.text | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Definition | A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Short Display | Text summary of the resource, for human interpretation | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cardinality | 0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: dom-6 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Type | Narrative | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Alternate Names | narrative, html, xhtml, display | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Comments | Contained resources do not have a 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 information is added later. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Invariants |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Group.contained | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Element Id | Group.contained | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Definition | These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, nor can they have their own independent transaction scope. This is allowed to be a Parameters resource if and only if it is referenced by a resource that provides context/meaning. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Short Display | Contained, inline Resources | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cardinality | 0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: dom-2, dom-4, dom-3, dom-5 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Type | Resource | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Alternate Names | inline resources, anonymous resources, contained resources | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Comments | 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. Contained resources may have profiles and tags in their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Group.extension | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Element Id | Group.extension | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Definition | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Short Display | Additional content defined by implementations | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cardinality | 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Invariants |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Group.modifierExtension | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Element Id | Group.modifierExtension | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Definition | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, 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. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Short Display | Extensions that cannot be ignored | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cardinality | 0..* | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Type | Extension | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Is Modifier | true (Reason: Modifier extensions are expected to modify the meaning or interpretation of the resource that contains them) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Requirements | Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Alternate Names | extensions, user content | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Group.identifier | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Element Id | Group.identifier | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Definition | Business identifiers assigned to this participant by one of the applications involved. These identifiers remain constant as the resource is updated and propagates from server to server. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Short Display | Business Identifier for this Group | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cardinality | 0..* | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Type | Identifier | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Requirements | Allows identification of the group as it is known by various participating systems and in a way that remains consistent across servers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Comments | Note: This is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion). It is best practice for the identifier to only appear on a single resource instance, however business practices may occasionally dictate that multiple resource instances with the same identifier can exist - possibly even with different resource types. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Invariants |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Group.active | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Element Id | Group.active | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Definition | Indicates whether the record for the group is available for use or is merely being retained for historical purposes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Short Display | Whether this group's record is in active use | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cardinality | 0..1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Type | boolean | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Is Modifier | true (Reason: This element is labelled as a modifier because it is a status element that can indicate that a record should not be treated as valid) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Requirements | Need to be able to mark a group record as not to be used because it was created in error or is otherwise no longer available (e.g. a herd that no longer exists). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Meaning if Missing | This resource is generally assumed to be active if no value is provided for the active element | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Invariants |

Type | code | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Requirements | There are use-cases for groups that define specific collections of individuals, and other groups that define "types" of intended individuals. The requirements for both kinds of groups are similar, so we use a single resource, distinguished by this element. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fixed Value | enumerated | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
