Provides additional characteristics of a medication, such as physical properties, storage requirements, or other distinguishing attributes. This extension mirrors the pattern of characteristic backbone elements found in other definitional resources, allowing a Medication resource to carry typed key-value pairs that describe observable or defining haracteristics of the medication.
A named observable or defining characteristic of the medication
Provides additional characteristics of a medication, such as physical properties, storage requirements, or other distinguishing attributes. This extension mirrors the pattern of characteristic backbone elements found in other definitional resources, allowing a Medication resource to carry typed key-value pairs that describe observable or defining characteristics of the medication.
All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())
Must have either extensions or value[x], not both
Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
Extensions are always sliced by (at least) url
The characteristic (e.g., colour, shape, storage temperature)
Identifies which observable or defining characteristic of the medication is being described (for example colour, shape, size, imprint, coating, storage temperature). The characteristic itself is named here; the actual value is carried in the value component of the extension.
Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.
The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.
Value of extension - must be one of a constrained set of the data types (see [Extensibility](http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/extensibility.html) for a list).
The value corresponding to the characteristic named in type. The chosen datatype should match the characteristic — e.g., CodeableConcept for colour or shape, Quantity for storage temperature or size, string for free-text imprint, Ratio for concentration-like characteristics, or boolean for yes/no characteristics.
