Definitions for the ProfileExample logical model
Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be foundhere
| 0. ProfileExample | |
| Definition | Data element SDC Profile Example Base definition for all elements in a resource. |
| Short | Patient GenderBase for all elements |
| Control | 0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1 |
| Is Modifier | false |
| Logical Model | Instances of this logical model are not marked to be the target of a Reference |
| Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
| 2. ProfileExample.id | |
| Definition | Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces. |
| Short | Unique id for inter-element referencing |
| Control | 0..1 |
| Type | string |
| Is Modifier | false |
| XML Format | In the XML format, this property is represented as an attribute. |
| Summary | false |
| 4. ProfileExample.extension | |
| Definition | 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. |
| Control | 0..* |
| Type | Extension |
| Is Modifier | false |
| Summary | false |
| Alternate Names | extensions, user content |
| 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()) |
| Slicing | This element introduces a set of slices on ProfileExample.extension. The slices areUnordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators: |
| 6. ProfileExample.gender | |
| Definition | The gender (i.e., the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex) of a living subject as defined for administrative purposes. |
| Short | The gender (i.e., the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex) of a living subject as defined for administrative purposes. |
| Control | 0..1 |
| Binding | The codes SHALL be taken from AdministrativeGender (required to http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/administrative-gender) |
| Type | CodeableConcept |
