Extension: expand-group

URL for this extension:

http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/valueset-expand-group

Status: draft. Extension maintained by: HL7

This extension declares a group of concepts that is generated into the ValueSet.expansion.contains hierarchy when the expansion is generated for a UI. THere is no inherent assigned meaning to the hierarchy; it is used to help the user navigate the concepts. Each group has a display and/or a code, and a list of members, which are either concepts in the value set, or other groups (by code).

Comment:

Note that there are inter-relationships between concept status/properties and the way the groups are built; these are described and documented in the (value set hierarchical example)[d.html]. Note that this extension should be ignored when the expansion is not generated for UI.

Context of Use: Use on Element ID ValueSet.compose.include

display		0..1	string	The description for the group (goes in ValueSet.expansion.contains.dispaly). All groups need a display; this can only be omitted if there is a code that can be used to determine the display.
member		1..*	code	One of more codes that identify codes in the expansion or other groups.
