Data Type Profile: CHEMEDEPRAmountRange - Detailed Descriptions

Draft as of 2025-09-04

Definitions for the ch-emed-epr-amount-range data type profile.

0. Range
Definition

A set of ordered Quantities defined by a low and high limit.

ShortSet of values bounded by low and high
Comments

The stated low and high value are assumed to have arbitrarily high precision when it comes to determining which values are in the range. I.e. 1.99 is not in the range 2 -> 3.

Control0..*
This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
Is Modifierfalse
Invariantsele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
rng-2: If present, low SHALL have a lower value than high (low.empty() or high.empty() or (low <= high))
rng-2: If present, low SHALL have a lower value than high (low.empty() or high.empty() or (low <= high))
2. Range.id
Definition

Implementers should not set or read this element. This element is only kept as optional to allow submission of documents that would contain a value, since those documents are still readable by others. The meaning of this element is undefined in this profile.


Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

Definition

Implementers should not set or read this element. This element is only kept as optional to allow submission of documents that would contain a value, since those documents are still readable by others. The meaning of this element is undefined in this profile.


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✕ This element is not supportedAdditional 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.

  • value @ url

    The low limit. The boundary is inclusive.
