Definitions for the sdc-questionnaire-answerExpression extension.
Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be found here
0. Extension | |
Definition | An expression (FHIRPath, CQL or FHIR Query) that resolves to a list of permitted answers for the question item or that establishes context for a group item. The user may select from among the list to choose answers for the question. |
Short | Expression for possible answers |
Comments | This is only permitted when the containing item does NOT have any answerOption or answerValueSet elements. The results of the expression must correspond to the item type of the question the element appears on or must correspond to a resource, backbone element or complex data type for a group item. Resources are considered a match for the Reference item type. Quantity can be a match for decimal and integer items so long as a questionnaire-unit extension is present. |

Definition | An expression (FHIRPath, CQL or FHIR Query) that resolves to a list of permitted answers for the question item or that establishes context for a group item. The user may select from among the list to choose answers for the question. Optional Extension Element - found in all resources. |

Comments | This is only permitted when the containing item does NOT have any answerOption or answerValueSet elements. The results of the expression must correspond to the item type of the question the element appears on or must correspond to a resource, backbone element or complex data type for a group item. Resources are considered a match for the Reference item type. Quantity can be a match for decimal and integer items so long as a questionnaire-unit extension is present. |
Control | 0..1* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1 |
Is Modifier | false |
Invariants | 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() )ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (extension.exists() != value.exists()) |
2. Extension.extension | |
Definition | An Extension 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. |
Short | ExtensionAdditional content defined by implementations |
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. |
