Extensions

Extensions for Finnish Base Profiles

This list includes the extensions for base profiles defined by HL7 Finland.

• ReleaseDateForPatientViewing

  The extension indicates the end date of the delay, i.e. the first day when the delayed appointment information can be displayed (e.g Omakanta) / Laajennuksella ilmoitetaan viivästämisen päättymispäivä eli ensimmäinen päivä, jolloin viivästetty asiakirja voidaan näyttää (esim. Omakannassa).
