ExampleScenario.url
Element Id ExampleScenario.url
Definition

An absolute URI that is used to identify this example scenario when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance; also called its canonical identifier. This SHOULD be globally unique and SHOULD be a literal address at which an authoritative instance of this example scenario is (or will be) published. This URL can be the target of a canonical reference. It SHALL remain the same when the example scenario is stored on different servers.

Short Display Canonical identifier for this example scenario, represented as a URI (globally unique)
Cardinality 0..1
Type uri
Requirements

Allows the example scenario to be referenced by a single globally unique identifier.

Summary true
Comments

Can be a urn:uuid: or a urn:oid: but real http: addresses are preferred. Multiple instances may share the same URL if they have a distinct version.

The determination of when to create a new version of a resource (same url, new version) vs. defining a new artifact is up to the author. Considerations for making this decision are found in Technical and Business Versions.

In some cases, the resource can no longer be found at the stated url, but the url itself cannot change. Implementations can use the meta.source element to indicate where the current master source of the resource can be found.

Invariants
Defined on this element
cnl-1Warning URL should not contain | or # - these characters make processing canonical references problematicexists() implies matches('^[^|# ]+$')
ExampleScenario.identifier
Element Id ExampleScenario.identifier
Definition

A formal identifier that is used to identify this example scenario when it is represented in other formats, or referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance.

Short Display Additional identifier for the example scenario
Note This is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion)
Cardinality 0..*
Type Identifier
Requirements

Allows externally provided and/or usable business identifiers to be easily associated with the module.

Summary true
Comments

Typically, this is used for identifiers that can go in an HL7 V3 II (instance identifier) data type, and can then identify this example scenario outside of FHIR, where it is not possible to use the logical URI.

ExampleScenario.version
Element Id ExampleScenario.version
Definition

The identifier that is used to identify this version of the example scenario when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the example scenario author and is not expected to be globally unique. For example, it might be a timestamp (e.g. yyyymmdd) if a managed version is not available. There is also no expectation that versions can be placed in a lexicographical sequence.

Short Display Business version of the example scenario
Note This is a business versionId, not a resource version id (see discussion)
Cardinality 0..1
Type string
Summary true
Comments

There may be different example scenario instances that have the same identifier but different versions. The version can be appended to the url in a reference to allow a reference to a particular business version of the example scenario with the format [url]|[version]. The version SHOULD NOT contain a '#' - see Business Version.

ExampleScenario.versionAlgorithm[x]
Element Id ExampleScenario.versionAlgorithm[x]
Definition

Indicates the mechanism used to compare versions to determine which is more current.

Short Display How to compare versions
Cardinality 0..1
Terminology Binding Version Algorithm (Extensible)
Type string|Coding
[x] Note See Choice of Datatypes for further information about how to use [x]
Summary true
Comments

If set as a string, this is a FHIRPath expression that has two additional context variables passed in - %version1 and %version2 and will return a negative number if version1 is newer, a positive number if version2 and a 0 if the version ordering can't be successfully be determined.

ExampleScenario.name

Element Id ExampleScenario.title
Definition

Comments

This name does not need to be machine-processing friendly and may contain punctuation, white-space, etc.

Short Display For testing purposes, not real usage
Cardinality 0..1
Type boolean
Meaning if Missing If absent, this resource is treated as though it is not experimental.
Requirements

Enables experimental content to be developed following the same lifecycle that would be used for a production-level example scenario.

Summary true
Comments

Allows filtering of example scenarios that are appropriate for use versus not.

ExampleScenario.date
Element Id ExampleScenario.date
Definition

The date (and optionally time) when the example scenario was last significantly changed. The date must change when the business version changes and it must change if the status code changes. In addition, it should change when the substantive content of the example scenario changes. (e.g. the 'content logical definition').

Short Display Date last changed
Cardinality 0..1
Type dateTime
Alternate Names Revision Date
Summary true
Comments

The date is often not tracked until the resource is published, but may be present on draft content. Note that this is not the same as the resource last-modified-date, since the resource may be a secondary representation of the example scenario. Additional specific dates may be added as extensions or be found by consulting Provenances associated with past versions of the resource.

See guidance around (not) making local changes to elements here.

ExampleScenario.publisher
Element Id ExampleScenario.publisher
Definition

Short Display Name of the publisher/steward (organization or individual)
Cardinality 0..1
Type string
Requirements

Summary true
Comments

Usually an organization but may be an individual. The publisher (or steward) of the example scenario is the organization or individual primarily responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the example scenario. This is not necessarily the same individual or organization that developed and initially authored the content. The publisher is the primary point of contact for questions or issues with the example scenario. This item SHOULD be populated unless the information is available from context.

ExampleScenario.contact

Cardinality 0..*

(I.e. useContext.code indicating http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/usage-context-type#jurisdiction and useContext.valueCodeableConcept indicating the jurisdiction.)

ExampleScenario.purpose
Element Id ExampleScenario.purpose
Definition

What the example scenario resource is created for. This should not be used to show the business purpose of the scenario itself, but the purpose of documenting a scenario.

Short Display The purpose of the example, e.g. to illustrate a scenario
Cardinality 0..1
Type markdown
