Returns the next question or set of questions for an adaptive questionnaire

The $assemble operation takes a modular questionnaire (one that references sub-questionnaires and/or relies on definition elements to contain the content for item definitions) and produces the equivalent fully-inline Questionnaire. Full details on the process can be found here.

A complex expression that provides a list of the allowed options that should be enabled or disabled based on the evaluation of a provided expression.

Indicates a variable that must be available on any node that is referencing the Questionnaire as a sub-questionnaire

Indicates the Questionnaire a variable that must be available on any node that is referencing the Questionnaire as a sub-questionnaire

If present, indicates that this questionnaire has expectations with respect to assembly. Specifically, indicates whether this form requires assembly (i.e. it can’t be used directly without invoking the $assemble operation operation on it) and/or whether it is intended for use only as a ‘child’ in an assembly process. The assembly processs might mean filling in item metadata based on information looked up from item.definitions and/or retrieving sub-questionnaires pointed to by sub-questionnaire extensions.

Calculated value for a question answer as determined by an evaluated expression

A FHIRPath or CQL Expression, or FHIR Query that resolves to a list of candidate answers (usually based on other answers in the questionnaire or based on information within the health record) for the question item or that establishes context for a group item

Provides guidelines for rendering multi-column choices

If the questionnaire-unit-open extension indicates that additional units other than the set of options provided for the question are allowed, this indicates the code system those units are expected to be drawn from. This extension SHOULD be present on any question where questionnaire-unit-open allows additional coded values.

Indicates that the child items of an item are displayed in collapsible form (either collapsed or expanded)

An expression that returns a boolean value for whether to enable the item

The base URL for the server(s) to which questionnaire response associated with this questionnaire should be submitted. If multiple repetitions are present, the completed form should be sent to all listed endpoints.

An indication of how the user should be prompted for answers when completing a QuestionnaireResponse

Initial value for a question answer as determined by an evaluated expression

If present and true, indicates that the item indicates a different subject for this group

If present and true, indicates that the item establishes a different subject for the group in a response

Media to render/make available as an accompaniment to a specific answer option.

Media to render/make available accompanying the question being asked or group or display item being rendered.

Specifies a query that identifies the resource (or set of resources for a repeating item) to be extracted from this item once the QuestionnaireResponse is complete.

Specifies a query that identifies the resource (or set of resources for a repeating item) that should be used to populate this Questionnaire or Questionnaire.item on initial population.

The label text to display beside free-text and/or unrestricted type values for an ‘open’ choice element. E.g. ‘Other, please specify’, or ‘Additional condition’, or ‘More reason(s)’, etc.

Resources that provide context for form processing logic (pre-population, flow-control, drop-down selection, etc.) when creating/displaying/editing a QuestionnaireResponse

For items of type reference, the reference can be populated either by picking an existing entity or by creating a new one. In the latter case, this Questionnaire allows specifying the Questionnaire to use in creating the target instance. This can be direct (if the Reference is to a Questionnaire) or indirect via mapping if the Reference is to some other sort of resource.

The inclusive upper bound on the range of allowed values for a ‘quantity’ type question

The inclusive lower bound on the range of allowed values for a ‘quantity’ type question

Indicates the time-period (from ‘now’) to search for observations that match the Questionnaire.item.code and Questionnaire.subject when pre-populating the QuestionnaireResponse.

Indicates the Observation.category value(s) that should appear on extracted Observations for the entire Questionnaire or for the current item and descendant items.

If true, indicates that the observation-based approach should be used to extract either the particular item (if extension is defined on an individual question or group based on the code present) or all items in the questionnaire (if defined at the questionnaire root and if they have a code present)

If set to true, it means that the system displaying the form (or the individual encoding the form for data capture) can choose to omit the item from display to the user.

Indicates the types of resources that can record answers to a Questionnaire

Indicates the terminology server(s) that are known to be capable of returning and potentially expanding the value set(s) associated with the whole questionnaire or a particular group or question within the questionnaire (depending on where the extension appears).

Indicates if a questionnaire is adaptive - either set to true or set the base URL of the server that can perform the nextQuestion operation of the questionnaire

This indicates that the element containing this extension has some sort of expression that makes reference to the specified contained resource.

Identifies a Questionnaire that is being asked to be completed

Provides a short text for an item. This element is useful for items that require a shorter text when rendered (e.g. when item is displayed on a mobile phone).

A Batch Bundle containing a set of queries that should be executed to provide source data for a StructureMap to create a populated QuestionnaireResponse

StructureMaps that produce QuestionnaireResponses for this Questionnaire as ‘target’ - i.e. that can be used to create QuestionnaireResponses that are valid against this Questionnaire.

Indicates that the display item on which this extension appears should be replaced with the referenced Questionnaire

StructureMaps that have QuestionnaireResponses of this Questionnaire as ‘source’- i.e. that can be used to create other artifacts from QuestionnaireResponses that are valid against this Questionnaire.

Indicates whether the list of supported units (conveyed in other extensions) are the exhaustive list from which the user must choose or whether they’re able to select alternate codes or specify a string.

When used with an item control that causes the question to appear as a column in a table, indicates the width to give to the column for this question.
