RatioProfile - Detailed Descriptions

Definitions for shr-core-Ratio.

Ratio
Definition

A unit of measurement for the quotient of the amount of one entity to another.

Control0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
InvariantsDefined on this element
ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count()))
rat-1: Numerator and denominator SHALL both be present, or both are absent. If both are absent, there SHALL be some extension present (: (numerator.empty() xor denominator.exists()) and (numerator.exists() or extension.exists()))
Ratio.id
Definition

unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

Control0..1
Typestring
Ratio.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.

Alternate Namesextensions, 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.

The value of the numerator.
