Definitions for the sdc-questionnaire-preferredTerminologyServer extension.
Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be found here
0. Extension | |
Definition | Indicates the terminology server(s) that are known to be capable of returning and potentially expanding the value set(s) associated with the resource or a particular portion of the resource (depending on where the extension appears). If a full URL is not provided AND the requested query is a terminology operation (e.g. $lookup or $expand) the client SHOULD execute the operation against (one of) the preferredTerminologyServer(s) rather than the local repository. Systems SHOULD evaluate value sets using terminology servers as follows: First, try any terminology servers declared on the element in question. If there are more then one, try them in the order they appear. Then try any servers that appear on ancestor elements in order of closest ancestor up to any on the resource root If there are no declared servers or none of the ones listed provide a useful response, the form filler may then try any of the typical servers it would normally use. A 'useful response' means a response that provides a valid (though potentially empty) expansion. Clients MAY wish to log/report errors returned by terminology servers. |

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()) |
2. Extension.extension | |
Definition | An Extension 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 managable, 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 | ExtensionAdditional 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. |
