Structure

PathCardinalityTypeDescription
Organization0..*OrganizationA formally or informally recognized grouping of people or organizations formed for the purpose of achieving some form of collective action. Includes companies, institutions, corporations, departments, community groups, healthcare practice groups, payer/insurer, etc.
Organization.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.
Organization.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.
Organization.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.
Organization.language0..1codeThe base language in which the resource is written.
Organization.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.
Organization.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.
Organization.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.
Organization.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).
Organization.identifier0..*IdentifierIdentifier for the organization that is used to identify the organization across multiple disparate systems.
Organization.active0..1booleanWhether the organization's record is still in active use.
Organization.type0..*CodeableConceptThe kind(s) of organization that this is.
Organization.name0..1stringA name associated with the organization.
Organization.alias0..*stringA list of alternate names that the organization is known as, or was known as in the past.
Organization.telecom0..*ContactPointA contact detail for the organization.
Organization.address0..*AddressAn address for the organization.
Organization.partOf0..1ReferenceThe organization of which this organization forms a part.
Organization.contact0..*BackboneElementContact for the organization for a certain purpose.
Organization.contact.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.
Organization.contact.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.
Organization.contact.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).
Organization.contact.purpose0..1CodeableConceptIndicates a purpose for which the contact can be reached.
Organization.contact.name0..1HumanNameA name associated with the contact.
Organization.contact.telecom0..*ContactPointA contact detail (e.g. a telephone number or an email address) by which the party may be contacted.
Organization.contact.address0..1AddressVisiting or postal addresses for the contact.
Organization.endpoint0..*ReferenceTechnical endpoints providing access to services operated for the organization.
