Context of Use

Canonical_URL	Status	Current_Version	Last_Updated	Description	Profile_Purpose
https://fhir.hl7.org.uk/StructureDefinition/Extension-UKCore-PriorityReason	active	1.0.0	2023-04-28	This extends the Service Request Resource to support the underlying reason why a Service Request is urgent.	This is a Genomics use case to record the reason why an urgent test has been requested. This differs from supportingInfo in that it does not necessarily indicate why the test is being requested.
