Short | A set of codes drawn from one or more code systems |
Control | 10..1* |
Is Modifier | false |
Must Support | false |
Summary | false |
Invariants | cnl-0: Name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation (name.exists() implies name.matches('^[A-Z]([A-Za-z0-9_]){1,254}$')) |
2. ValueSet.implicitRules | |
Definition | A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc. |
Short | A set of rules under which this content was created |
Comments | Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of its narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | uri |
Is Modifier | true because This element is labeled as a modifier because the implicit rules may provide additional knowledge about the resource that modifies its meaning or interpretation |
Primitive Value | This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension |
Must Support | false |
Summary | true |
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
4. ValueSet.contained | |
Definition | These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, nor can they have their own independent transaction scope. This is allowed to be a Parameters resource if and only if it is referenced by a resource that provides context/meaning. |
Short | A value set can contain codesystem supplement if the code system does not have a meaningful use outside this value set.Contained, inline Resources |
Comments | This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags in their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels. |
Control | 0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: dom-2, dom-4, dom-3, dom-5 |
Type | Resource |
Is Modifier | false |
Must Support | false |
Summary | false |
Alternate Names | inline resources, anonymous resources, contained resources |
6. ValueSet.extension | |
Definition | An Extension May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. 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 | Description of change management: periodicity, change request workflow, release dates, responsibilities, etcAdditional 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. |

10. ValueSet.extension:authoritativeSource | |
Slice Name | authoritativeSource |
Definition | A reference to the authoritative accessible, persisted source of truth of the entire Value Set Definition, including textual information and available versions. |
Short | Reference to the current trusted source of the ValueSet resource (metadata and definition) |
Comments | If this extension is not present, then the canonical URL (ValueSet.url) also serves the purpose of specifying the authoritative source. A difference between the canonical URL and the authoritiative source might arise in some cases due to ongoing organization restructuring, etc., and in those cases this extension may be used. The URL of the authoritative source is intended to be resolvable but that cannot be guaranteed. The designated "authoritative source" is normally expected to be able to generate a valid expansion of the value set, and if for some reason it cannot then the valueset-trusted-expansion should be used. |

16. ValueSet.modifierExtension | |
Definition | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. 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 is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself). |
Short | Extensions that cannot be ignored |
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 | true because Modifier extensions are expected to modify the meaning or interpretation of the resource that contains them |
Must Support | false |
Summary | true |
Requirements | Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions. |
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()) |
18. ValueSet.url | |
Definition | Follows the pattern 'https://fhir.ee/ValueSet/[Resource Id]' An absolute URI that is used to identify this value set when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance; also called its canonical identifier. This SHOULD be globally unique and SHOULD be a literal address at which an authoritative instance of this value set is (or will be) published. This URL can be the target of a canonical reference. It SHALL remain the same when the value set is stored on different servers. |
Short | this is the default formula for uriCanonical identifier for this value set, represented as a URI (globally unique) |
Comments | Can be a urn:uuid: or a urn:oid: but real http: addresses are preferred. Multiple instances may share the same URL if they have a distinct version. The determination of when to create a new version of a resource (same url, new version) vs. defining a new artifact is up to the author. Considerations for making this decision are found in Technical and Business Versions. In some cases, the resource can no longer be found at the stated url, but the url itself cannot change. Implementations can use the meta.source element to indicate where the current master source of the resource can be found. |

20. ValueSet.identifier | |
Definition | A formal identifier that is used to identify this value set when it is represented in other formats, or referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance. |
Short | A non-FHIR identifier for the value set (e.g ISO OID)Additional identifier for the value set (business identifier) |
Comments | Typically, this is used for identifiers that can go in an HL7 V3 II (instance identifier) data type, and can then identify this value set outside of FHIR, where it is not possible to use the logical URI. |
Note | This is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion) |

28. ValueSet.version | |
Definition | The identifier that is used to identify this version of the value set when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the value set author and is not expected to be globally unique. For example, it might be a timestamp (e.g. yyyymmdd) if a managed version is not available. There is also no expectation that versions can be placed in a lexicographical sequence. |
Short | Business version of the value set |
Comments | There may be different value set instances that have the same identifier but different versions. The version can be appended to the url in a reference to allow a reference to a particular business version of the value set with the format [url]|[version]. The version SHOULD NOT contain a '#' - see Business Version. |
Note | This is a business version Id, not a resource version Id (see discussion) |

Short | A set of rules under which this content was created |
Comments | Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element.

The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety. |
Short | Text summary of the resource, for human interpretation |
Comments | Contained resources do not have a narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later. |

Definition | These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, nor can they have their own independent transaction scope. This is allowed to be a Parameters resource if and only if it is referenced by a resource that provides context/meaning. |
Short | A value set can contain codesystem supplement if the code system does not have a meaningful use outside this value set. |
Comments | This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags in their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels. |

Comments | If this extension is not present, then the canonical URL (ValueSet.url) also serves the purpose of specifying the authoritative source. A difference between the canonical URL and the authoritiative source might arise in some cases due to ongoing organization restructuring, etc., and in those cases this extension may be used. The URL of the authoritative source is intended to be resolvable but that cannot be guaranteed.

Definition | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. 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 is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself). |
Short | Extensions that cannot be ignored |
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 determination of when to create a new version of a resource (same url, new version) vs. defining a new artifact is up to the author. Considerations for making this decision are found in Technical and Business Versions. In some cases, the resource can no longer be found at the stated url, but the url itself cannot change. Implementations can use the meta.source element to indicate where the current master source of the resource can be found. |

Comments | This element deals only with general categories of identifiers. It SHOULD not be used for codes that correspond 1..1 with the Identifier.system. Some identifiers may fall into multiple categories due to common usage. Where the system is known, a type is unnecessary because the type is always part of the system definition.

Comments | Normally immutability is set to 'false', which is the default assumption if it is not populated. Note that the implication is that if this is set to 'true', there may be only one ValueSet version for this definition. Immutability tends to be set to 'true' in one of two cases: - Where the value set, by the nature of its usage, cannot change. For example "All specializations of ACT in ActClassCode" - Where there's no safe way to express the "Purpose" such that someone else could safely make changes to the value set definition. Source workflow control must guarantee that the same URI always yields the same definition. |

Comments | With a defined lockedDate the value set is considered "Locked". Otherwise, the value set may have different expansions as underlying code systems and/or value sets evolve. The interpretation of lockedDate is often dependent on the context - e.g. a SNOMED CT derived value set with a lockedDate will have a different expansion in USA than in UK. If a value set specifies a version for include and exclude statements, and also specifies a locked date, the specified versions need to be available that date, or the value set will not be usable. |

Short | Whether inactive codes are in the value set |
Comments | Note that in the FHIR terminology framework, "deprecated" does not mean inactive, but in some code systems, e.g. LOINC, "deprecated" does mean inactive. Code systems should define what codes are considered to be inactive. If this is not clearly defined (including in the FHIR code system resource), then all codes are assumed to be active. The Value Set Definition specification defines an ActiveOnly element, which is the reverse of this element e.g. (ValueSet.compose.inactive=FALSE) is the same as (VSD.ActiveOnly=TRUE). |

Definition | Other codes and entries contained under this entry in the hierarchy. |
Short | Codes contained under this entry |
Comments | If the expansion uses this element, there is no implication about the logical relationship between them, and the structure cannot be used for logical inferencing. The structure exists to provide navigational assistance for helping human users to locate codes in the expansion. |

284. ValueSet.scope.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 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 | 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. |

286. ValueSet.scope.modifierExtension | |
Definition | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. 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. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself). |

Type | Extension |
Is Modifier | true because Modifier extensions are expected to modify the meaning or interpretation of the element that contains them |
Summary | true |
Requirements | Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions. |
