0. Entity | |
Definition | Defines the basic properties of every data value. This is an abstract type, meaning that no value can be just a data value without belonging to any concrete type. Every concrete type is a specialization of this general abstract DataValue type. Base definition for all types defined in FHIR type system. |
Short | Base for all types and resources |
Control | 10..1* |
Is Modifier | false |
Logical Container | ClinicalDocument (CDA Class) |
Validation | Instance of this type are validated by templateId |
XML Format | In the XML format, this property has the namespace urn:hl7-org:v3 . |
2. Entity.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 ) |

XML Format | In the XML format, this property is represented as an attribute. |
Label | Exceptional Value Detail |
4. Entity.realmCode | |
Definition | When valued in an instance, this attribute signals the imposition of realm-specific constraints. The value of this attribute identifies the realm in question |
Control | 0..* |
Type | http://hl7.org/cda/stds/core/StructureDefinition/CS |
6. Entity.typeId | |
Definition | When valued in an instance, this attribute signals the imposition of constraints defined in an HL7-specified message type. This might be a common type (also known as CMET in the messaging communication environment), or content included within a wrapper. The value of this attribute provides a unique identifier for the type in question. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | http://hl7.org/cda/stds/core/StructureDefinition/II |

XML Format | In the XML format, this property is represented as an attribute. |
Label | Exceptional Value Detail |
10. Entity.typeId.assigningAuthorityName | |
Definition | A human readable name or mnemonic for the assigning authority. The Assigning Authority Name has no computational value. The purpose of a Assigning Authority Name is to assist an unaided human interpreter of an II value to interpret the authority. Note: no automated processing must depend on the assigning authority name to be present in any form. |

XML Format | In the XML format, this property is represented as an attribute. |
Label | Displayable |
14. Entity.typeId.root | |
