International Patient Summary Implementation Guide, published by HL7 International / Patient Care. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 2.0.0 built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build.

Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be found here
0. Range
Definition
A set of ordered Quantities defined by a low and high limit.
Short
Set of values bounded by low and high
Comments
The stated low and high value are assumed to have arbitrarily high precision when it comes to determining which values are in the range. I.e. 1.99 is not in the range 2 -> 3.
ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) rng-2: If present, low SHALL have a lower value than high (low.empty() or high.empty() or (low <= high)) rng-2: If present, low SHALL have a lower value than high (low.empty() or high.empty() or (low <= high))
2. Range.low
Definition
The low limit. The boundary is inclusive.
Short
Low limit
Comments
If the low element is missing, the low boundary is not known.

2. Range.id
Definition
Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
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 manageable, 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
Additional 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.
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())
This element introduces a set of slices on Range.extension. The slices areUnordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators:
value @ url
6. Range.low
Definition
The low limit. The boundary is inclusive.
Short
Low limit
Comments
If the low element is missing, the low boundary is not known.
