Extension: animal

URL for this extension:

http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/patient-animal

Status: draft. Extension maintained by: HL7

This patient is known to be an animal.

Comment:

The absence of the animal extension 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).

Context of Use: Use on Element ID Patient
