Extension
ShortOptional Extensions Element
Definition

Optional Extension Element - found in all resources.

Cardinality0..*
ConditionsThe 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() | (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
Shortxml:id (or equivalent in JSON)
Definition

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

Cardinality0..1
Typestring
Mappings
  • rim: n/a
Extension.extension
ShortAdditional Content defined by implementations
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.

Cardinality0..*
TypeExtension
Aliasextensions, 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

Mappings
  • rim: n/a
Extension.url
Shortidentifies the meaning of the extension
Definition

Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.

Cardinality1..1
Typeuri
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.nhs.uk/STU3/StructureDefinition/Extension-GPConnect-ReferralRequestMethod-1
Mappings
  • rim: N/A
Extension.value[x]:valueCodeableConcept
ShortValue of extension
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).

Cardinality1..1
