Extension: Artifact Jurisdiction

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/artifact-jurisdiction Version: 5.3.0-ballot-tc1
Standards status: Trial-use Maturity Level: 2 Responsible: HL7 International / Clinical Decision Support Computable Name: ArtifactJurisdiction
Other Identifiers: OID:2.16.840.1.113883.4.642.5.1743

A legal or geographic region in which the authority that maintains the resource is operating. In general, the jurisdiction is also found in the Artifact use context for the resource. The useContext may reference additional jurisdictions because the defining jurisdiction does not necessarily limit the jurisdictions of use. This extension SHALL not be used on any resource that has a defined jurisdiction element.

This extension is defined to support representing artifact metadata on resources that are not already canonical resources that have the corresponding element, and that behave in a definitional way. For example, it would not be appropriate to use this extension on a patient-specific resource such as MedicationRequest or CarePlan. For resources where this element was added in R5, the cross-version extension should be used rather than this extension (ConditionDefinition,NamingSystem,ObservationDefinition,SpecimenDefinition,SubscriptionTopic).

Context of Use

This extension may be used on the following element(s)
