3.51.6 StructureDefinition: Shared Health CodeableConcept Text Required - Detailed Descriptions
Definitions for the dtprofile-codeableconcept-text-required Profile.
| 1. CodeableConcept | |
| Definition | A concept that may be defined by a formal reference to a terminology or ontology or may be provided by text. |
| Control | 0..* |
| Comments | Not all terminology uses fit this general pattern. In some cases, models should not use CodeableConcept and use Coding directly and provide their own structure for managing text, codings, translations and the relationship between elements and pre- and post-coordination. |
| Max Length | 0 |
| 2. CodeableConcept.id | |
| Definition | unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). |
| Control | 0..1 |
| Type | id |
| Max Length | 0 |
| 3. CodeableConcept.extension | |
| Definition | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. In order 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 is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. |
| Control | 0..* |
| Type | Extension |
| Alternate Names | extensions, user content |
| 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. |
| Max Length | 0 |
| 4. CodeableConcept.coding | |
| Definition | A reference to a code defined by a terminology system. |
| Control | 0..* |
| Type | Coding |
| Requirements | Allows for translations and alternate encodings within a code system. Also supports communication of the same instance to systems requiring different encodings. |
| Comments | Codes may be defined very casually in enumerations, or code lists, up to very formal definitions such as SNOMED CT - see the HL7 v3 Core Principles for more information. Ordering of codings is undefined and SHALL NOT be used to infer meaning. Generally, at most only one of the coding values will be labelled as UserSelected = true. |
| Max Length | 0 |
| 5. CodeableConcept.text | |
| Definition | A human language representation of the concept as seen/selected/uttered by the user who entered the data and/or which represents the intended meaning of the user. |
| Control | 1..1 |
| Type | string |
| Must Support | true |
| Requirements | The codes from the terminologies do not always capture the correct meaning with all the nuances of the human using them, or sometimes there is no appropriate code at all. In these cases, the text is used to capture the full meaning of the source. |
| Comments | Conformance Rule: This is the text used to convey the exact word that was displayed to the practitioner |
