0. PN
Definition	A name for a person. A sequence of name parts, such as given name or family name, prefix, suffix, etc. Examples for person name values are "Jim Bob Walton, Jr.", "Adam Everyman", etc. A person name may be as simple as a character string or may consist of several person name parts, such as, "Jim", "Bob", "Walton", and "Jr.". PN differs from EN because the qualifier type cannot include LS (Legal Status).
Logical Container	ADHA ClinicalDocument (CDA Class)
XML Format	In the XML format, this property has the namespace `urn:hl7-org:v3`.
Invariants	pn-no-ls: No PN name part may have a qualifier of LS. (`(item.delimiter \| item.family \| item.given \| item.prefix \| item.suffix).where(qualifier.where($this = 'LS').exists()).empty()`)
2. PN.item
Control	1..*

PN differs from EN because the qualifier type cannot include LS (Legal Status). Base definition for all types defined in FHIR type system.
Short	Base for all types and resources
Control	10..*
Is Modifier	false
Logical Container	ADHA ClinicalDocument (CDA Class)
XML Format	In the XML format, this property has the namespace `urn:hl7-org:v3`.
Invariants	pn-no-ls: No PN name part may have a qualifier of LS. (`(item.delimiter \| item.family \| item.given \| item.prefix \| item.suffix).where(qualifier.where($this = 'LS').exists()).empty()`)
2. PN.nullFlavor
Definition	If a value is an exceptional value (NULL-value), this specifies in what way and why proper information is missing.
Control	0..1
Binding	The codes SHALL be taken from CDANullFlavor (required to `http://hl7.org/cda/stds/core/ValueSet/CDANullFlavor`)
Type	code(cs: Coded Simple Value)
Primitive Value	This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension
XML Format	In the XML format, this property is represented as an attribute.
Label	Exceptional Value Detail
4. PN.use
Definition	A set of codes advising a system or user which name in a set of like names to select for a given purpose. A name without specific use code might be a default name useful for any purpose, but a name with a specific use code would be preferred for that respective purpose
Control	0..*
Binding	The codes SHALL be taken from CDAEntityNameUse (required to `http://hl7.org/cda/stds/core/ValueSet/CDAEntityNameUse`)
Type	code(cs: Coded Simple Value)
Primitive Value	This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension

Label	Use Code
6. PN.item
Definition	A series of items that constitute the name.
Control	1..*
Type	http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Base
Choice Group	This is a repeating choice group that does not appear directly in the instance
Invariants	EN-1: Can only have only one of the possible item elements in each choice (`(delimiter \| family \| given \| prefix \| suffix \| xmlText).count() = 1`)

Control	0..1
Type	string(st: Character String)
Primitive Value	This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension
XML Format	In the XML format, this property is represented as unadorned text.

Definition	An interval of time specifying the time during which the name is or was used for the entity. This accomodates the fact that people change names for people, places and things.
