0. Address
Definition | Esiste una varietà di formati di indirizzi postali definiti in tutto il mondo. Questo profilo (address-it-base) estende il datatype base Address includendo una serie di informazioni rilevanti per esprimere gli indirizzi in Italia. Un address-it-base è un indirizzo FHIR valido; i sistemi che non supportano le estensioni utilizzate saranno in grado comunque di eseguire il rendering e lavorare con un XXXX. Un indirizzo rende alcune parti di indirizzo comunicabili separatamente. Queste parti sono necessarie in alcuni scenari d'uso italiani, ma potrebbero non avere valore per i sistemi internazionali quando le informazioni vengono inviate all'estero. An address expressed using postal conventions (as opposed to GPS or other location definition formats). This data type may be used to convey addresses for use in delivering mail as well as for visiting locations which might not be valid for mail delivery. There are a variety of postal address formats defined around the world.
Short | Indirizzo fisico o postaleAn address expressed using postal conventions (as opposed to GPS or other location definition formats)
Comments | Nota: address è per indirizzi postali, non per la localizzazione fisica. Note: address is intended to describe postal addresses for administrative purposes, not to describe absolute geographical coordinates. Postal addresses are often used as proxies for physical locations (also see the Location resource).
Control | 0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
Is Modifier | false
Alternate Names | Indirizzo
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))

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 | ExtensionAdditional 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.
