Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be found here
0. EvidenceVariable | |
Definition | The EvidenceVariable resource describes an element that knowledge (Evidence) is about. |
Short | A definition of an exposure, outcome, or other variable |
Comments | The EvidenceVariable may be an exposure variable (intervention, condition, or state), a measured variable (outcome or observed parameter), or other variable (such as confounding factor). |
Control | 0..* |
Is Modifier | false |
Must Support | false |
Summary | false |
Invariants | cnl-0: Name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation (name.exists() implies name.matches('^[A-Z]([A-Za-z0-9_]){1,254}$')) |
2. EvidenceVariable.meta | |
Definition | The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource. |
Short | Metadata about the resource |
Control | 10..1 |
Type | Meta |
Is Modifier | false |
Must Support | true |
Summary | true |
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
4. EvidenceVariable.meta.source | |
Definition | A uri that identifies the source system of the resource. This provides a minimal amount of Provenance information that can be used to track or differentiate the source of information in the resource. The source may identify another FHIR server, document, message, database, etc. |
Short | Identifies where the resource comes from |
Comments | The exact use of the source (and the possible implied Provenance.entity.role and agent.role) is left to implementer discretion. Only one nominated source is allowed; for additional provenance details, a full Provenance resource should be used. The source may correspond to Provenance.entity.what[x] or Provenance.agent.who[x], though it may be a more general or abstract reference. This element can be used to indicate where the current master source of a resource that has a canonical URL if the resource is no longer hosted at the canonical URL. |
Control | 0..1 |

Is Modifier | false |
Primitive Value | This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension |
Must Support | true |
Summary | true |
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
6. EvidenceVariable.meta.profile | |
Definition | A list of profiles (references to StructureDefinition resources) that this resource claims to conform to. The URL is a reference to StructureDefinition.url. |
Short | Profiles this resource claims to conform to |
Comments | It is up to the server and/or other infrastructure of policy to determine whether/how these claims are verified and/or updated over time. The list of profile URLs is a set. |
Control | 10..* |
Type | canonical(StructureDefinition) |
Is Modifier | false |

Must Support | true |
Summary | true |
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
8. EvidenceVariable.implicitRules | |
Definition | A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc. |
Short | A set of rules under which this content was created |
Comments | Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of its narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | uri |
Is Modifier | true because This element is labeled as a modifier because the implicit rules may provide additional knowledge about the resource that modifies its meaning or interpretation |
Primitive Value | This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension |
Must Support | false |
Summary | true |
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
10. EvidenceVariable.contained | |
Definition | These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, nor can they have their own independent transaction scope. This is allowed to be a Parameters resource if and only if it is referenced by a resource that provides context/meaning. |
Short | Contained, inline Resources |
Comments | This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags in their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels. |
Control | 0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: dom-2, dom-4, dom-3, dom-5 |
Type | Resource |
Is Modifier | false |
Must Support | false |
Summary | false |
Alternate Names | inline resources, anonymous resources, contained resources |
12. EvidenceVariable.modifierExtension | |
Definition | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself). |
Short | Extensions that cannot be ignored |
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. |
Control | 0..* |
Type | Extension |
Is Modifier | true because Modifier extensions are expected to modify the meaning or interpretation of the resource that contains them |
Must Support | false |
Summary | true |
Requirements | Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions. |

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()) |
14. EvidenceVariable.name | |
Definition | A natural language name identifying the evidence variable. This name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation. |
Short | Name for this evidence variable (computer friendly) |
Comments | The name is not expected to be globally unique. The name should be a simple alphanumeric type name to ensure that it is machine-processing friendly. |

18. EvidenceVariable.characteristic | |
Definition | A defining factor of the EvidenceVariable. Multiple characteristics are applied with "and" semantics. |
Short | A defining factor of the EvidenceVariable |
Comments | Characteristics can be defined flexibly to accommodate different use cases for membership criteria, ranging from simple codes, all the way to using an expression language to express the criteria. |

The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute). |

26. EvidenceVariable.text | |
Definition | A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety. |
Short | Text summary of the resource, for human interpretation |
Comments | Contained resources do not have a narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later. |

This is allowed to be a Parameters resource if and only if it is referenced by a resource that provides context/meaning. |
Short | Contained, inline Resources |

Definition | An absolute URI that is used to identify this evidence variable 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 evidence variable is (or will be) published. This URL can be the target of a canonical reference. It SHALL remain the same when the evidence variable is stored on different servers. |

Definition | A formal identifier that is used to identify this evidence variable when it is represented in other formats, or referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance. |
Short | Additional identifier for the evidence variable |
Comments | Typically, this is used for identifiers that can go in an HL7 V3 II (instance identifier) data type, and can then identify this evidence variable outside of FHIR, where it is not possible to use the logical URI. |

38. EvidenceVariable.version | |
Definition | The identifier that is used to identify this version of the evidence variable when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the evidence variable 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. To provide a version consistent with the Decision Support Service specification, use the format Major.Minor.Revision (e.g. 1.0.0). For more information on versioning knowledge assets, refer to the Decision Support Service specification. Note that a version is required for non-experimental active artifacts. |
Short | Business version of the evidence variable |
Comments | There may be different evidence variable 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 evidence variable with the format [url]|[version]. The version SHOULD NOT contain a '#' - see Business Version. |
