Detailed Descriptions for the elements in the extension.
Extension | |
Element Id | Extension |
Definition | This patient is known to be an animal. |
Control | 0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1 |
Comments | The absence of the animal element does not imply that the patient is a human. If a system requires such a positive assertion that the patient is human, an extension will be required. (Do not use a species of homo-sapiens in animal species, as this would incorrectly infer that the patient is an animal). |
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 | |
Element Id | 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 | |
Element Id | Extension.extension |
Definition | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. 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 can 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:
|
Extension.extension(species) | |
Element Id | Extension.extension:species |
Definition | Identifies the high level taxonomic categorization of the kind of animal. |
Control | 1..1 |
Type | Extension |
Comments | If the patient is non-human, at least a species SHALL be specified. Species SHALL be a widely recognized taxonomic classification. It might or might not be Linnaean taxonomy and might or might not be at the level of species. If the level is finer than species--such as a breed code--the code system used SHALL allow inference of the species. (The common example is that the word "Hereford" does not allow inference of the species Bos taurus, because there is a Hereford pig breed, but the SNOMED CT code for "Hereford Cattle Breed" does.). |
Extension.extension.id | |
Element Id | Extension.extension:species.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.extension | |
Element Id | Extension.extension:species.extension |
Definition | An Extension |
Control | 0..0 |
Type | Extension |
Slicing | This element introduces a set of slices. The slicing rules are:
|
Extension.extension.url | |
Element Id | Extension.extension:species.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 | species |
Extension.extension.valueCodeableConcept | |
Element Id | Extension.extension:species.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 | The species of an animal. For example codes, see AnimalSpecies |
Type | CodeableConcept |
Extension.extension(breed) | |
Element Id | Extension.extension:breed |
Definition | Identifies the detailed categorization of the kind of animal. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | Extension |
Comments | Breed MAY be used to provide further taxonomic or non-taxonomic classification. It may involve local or proprietary designation--such as commercial strain--and/or additional information such as production type. |
Extension.extension.id | |
Element Id | Extension.extension:breed.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 | 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 | breed |
Extension.extension.valueCodeableConcept | |
