StructureDefinition: telecom - Detailed Descriptions

Definitions for the ehealth-careteam-telecom Profile.

1. Extension
Definition

An Extension

Control0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
InvariantsDefined on this element
ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count()))
ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (: extension.exists() != value.exists())
2. Extension.id
Definition

unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

Control0..1
Typestring
3. Extension.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.

Control0..*
TypeExtension
Alternate Namesextensions, 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.

SlicingThis element introduces a set of slices on Extension.extension. The slices are unordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators:
  • value @ url
4. Extension.url
Definition

Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.

Control1..1
Typeuri
Comments

The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.

Fixed Valuehttp://ehealth.sundhed.dk/fhir/StructureDefinition/ehealth-careteam-telecom
5. Extension.value[x]
Definition

Value of extension - may be a resource or one of a constrained set of the data types (see Extensibility in the spec for list).

Control1..1
TypeContactPoint
[x] NoteSee Choice of Data Types for further information about how to use [x]
SlicingThis element introduces a set of slices on Extension.value[x]. The slices are unordered and Closed, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators:
  • type @ $this
6. Extension.value[x]:valueContactPoint
SliceNamevalueContactPoint
Definition

Value of extension - may be a resource or one of a constrained set of the data types (see Extensibility in the spec for list).

Control1..1
TypeContactPoint
[x] NoteSee Choice of Data Types for further information about how to use [x]
7. Extension.value[x]:valueContactPoint.id
Definition

unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

9. Extension.value[x]:valueContactPoint.system
Definition

Telecommunications form for contact point - what communications system is required to make use of the contact.

Control0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: cpt-2
BindingThe codes SHALL be taken from ContactPoint System
Typecode
10. Extension.value[x]:valueContactPoint.value
Definition

The actual contact point details, in a form that is meaningful to the designated communication system (i.e. phone number or email address).

Control1..1
Typestring
Requirements

Need to support legacy numbers that are not in a tightly controlled format.

Comments

Additional text data such as phone extension numbers, or notes about use of the contact are sometimes included in the value.

11. Extension.value[x]:valueContactPoint.use
Definition

Identifies the purpose for the contact point.

Control0..1
BindingThe codes SHALL be taken from ContactPointUse Use of contact point

Typecode
Is Modifiertrue
Requirements

Need to track the way a person uses this contact, so a user can choose which is appropriate for their purpose.

Comments

This is labeled as "Is Modifier" because applications should not mistake a temporary or old contact etc.for a current/permanent one. Applications can assume that a contact is current unless it explicitly says that it is temporary or old.

12. Extension.value[x]:valueContactPoint.rank
Definition

Specifies a preferred order in which to use a set of contacts. Contacts are ranked with lower values coming before higher values.

Control0..1
TypepositiveInt
Comments

Note that rank does not necessarily follow the order in which the contacts are represented in the instance.

13. Extension.value[x]:valueContactPoint.period
Definition

Time period when the contact point was/is in use.
