FHIR Genomics Implementation Guide

Notice

Important: This guidance is under active development by NHS England and content may be added or updated on a regular basis.
This Implementation Guide is currently in Draft and SHOULD NOT be used for development or active implementation without express direction from the NHS England Genomics Unit.

Extensions

The extensions created specifically for use in Genomics are listed below. Some of the extensions listed may still be in draft and pending further changes once requirements for the GMS have been finalised.

Extensions

Extension-UKCore-AdditionalContact

Usage

An extension to support recording of additional contacts, who should be contacted regarding questions arising from the service request. This differs from the requester and responsibleClinician.

Context of Use

ServiceRequest

Detailed Descriptions

Extension
Short	An extension to allow the referencing to BodyStructure
Definition	An extension to replicate the changes within R5 altering the data type of Specimen.collection.bodySite from CodeableConcept to CodeableReference (bodyStructure).
Cardinality	0..*
Conditions	The cardinality or value of this element may be affected by these constraints: ele-1
Constraints	ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both `extension.exists() != value.exists()`
Mappings	rim: n/a rim: N/A
Extension.id
Short	Unique id for inter-element referencing
Definition	Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
Cardinality	0..1
Type	string
Mappings	rim: n/a
Extension.extension
Short	Additional content defined by implementations
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.
Cardinality	0..*
Type	Extension
Alias	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	Unordered, Open, by url(Value) Extensions are always sliced by (at least) url
Constraints	ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both `extension.exists() != value.exists()`
Mappings	rim: n/a
Extension.url
Short	identifies the meaning of the extension
Definition	Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.
Cardinality	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	https://fhir.hl7.org.uk/StructureDefinition/Extension-UKCore-BodySiteReference
Mappings	rim: N/A
Extension.value[x]
Short	Reference to BodyStructure
Definition	Value of extension - must be one of a constrained set of the data types (see Extensibility for a list).
Cardinality	1..1
Type	Reference(BodyStructure)
Constraints	ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`
Mappings	rim: N/A
