Structure

PathCardinalityTypeDescription
NamingSystem0..*NamingSystemA curated namespace that issues unique symbols within that namespace for the identification of concepts, people, devices, etc. Represents a "System" used within the Identifier and Coding data types.
NamingSystem.id0..1http://hl7.org/fhirpath/System.StringThe logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.
NamingSystem.meta0..1MetaThe metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.
NamingSystem.implicitRules0..1uriA 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.
NamingSystem.language0..1codeThe base language in which the resource is written.
NamingSystem.text0..1NarrativeA human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. 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.
NamingSystem.contained0..*ResourceThese resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.
NamingSystem.extension0..*ExtensionMay 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 manageable, 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.
NamingSystem.modifierExtension0..*ExtensionMay 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 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. 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).
NamingSystem.name1..1stringA natural language name identifying the naming system. This name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation.
NamingSystem.status1..1codeThe status of this naming system. Enables tracking the life-cycle of the content.
NamingSystem.kind1..1codeIndicates the purpose for the naming system - what kinds of things does it make unique?
NamingSystem.date1..1dateTimeThe date (and optionally time) when the naming system was published. The date must change when the business version changes and it must change if the status code changes. In addition, it should change when the substantive content of the naming system changes.
NamingSystem.publisher0..1stringThe name of the organization or individual that published the naming system.
NamingSystem.contact0..*ContactDetailContact details to assist a user in finding and communicating with the publisher.
NamingSystem.responsible0..1stringThe name of the organization that is responsible for issuing identifiers or codes for this namespace and ensuring their non-collision.
NamingSystem.type0..1CodeableConceptCategorizes a naming system for easier search by grouping related naming systems.
NamingSystem.description0..1markdownA free text natural language description of the naming system from a consumer's perspective. Details about what the namespace identifies including scope, granularity, version labeling, etc.
NamingSystem.useContext0..*UsageContextThe content was developed with a focus and intent of supporting the contexts that are listed. These contexts may be general categories (gender, age, ...) or may be references to specific programs (insurance plans, studies, ...) and may be used to assist with indexing and searching for appropriate naming system instances.
NamingSystem.jurisdiction0..*CodeableConceptA legal or geographic region in which the naming system is intended to be used.
NamingSystem.usage0..1stringProvides guidance on the use of the namespace, including the handling of formatting characters, use of upper vs. lower case, etc.
NamingSystem.uniqueId1..*BackboneElementIndicates how the system may be identified when referenced in electronic exchange.
NamingSystem.uniqueId.id0..1http://hl7.org/fhirpath/System.StringUnique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
NamingSystem.uniqueId.extension0..*ExtensionMay 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 manageable, 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.
NamingSystem.uniqueId.modifierExtension0..*ExtensionMay 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 manageable, 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).
NamingSystem.uniqueId.type1..1codeIdentifies the unique identifier scheme used for this particular identifier.
NamingSystem.uniqueId.value1..1stringThe string that should be sent over the wire to identify the code system or identifier system.
NamingSystem.uniqueId.preferred0..1booleanIndicates whether this identifier is the "preferred" identifier of this type.
NamingSystem.uniqueId.comment0..1stringNotes about the past or intended usage of this identifier.
NamingSystem.uniqueId.period0..1PeriodIdentifies the period of time over which this identifier is considered appropriate to refer to the naming system. Outside of this window, the identifier might be non-deterministic.

Search Parameters

_textstringSearch on the narrative of the resource
_contentstringSearch on the entire content of the resource
_filtertokenFilter search parameter which supports a more sophisticated grammar for searching. See documentation for further details
