Basic

Basic is used for handling concepts not yet defined in FHIR, narrative-only resources that don t map to an existing resource, and custom resources not appropriate for inclusion in the FHIR specification. If the element is present, it must have either a @value, an @id, or extensions

type Basic implements Resource {
  identifier: [Identifier]
  code: CodeableConcept
  subject: Reference
  created: Date
  author: Reference
  text: Narrative
  contained: [Resource]
  extension: [Extension]
  modifierExtension: [Extension]
  id: String
  meta: Meta
  implicitRules: Uri
  language: String
}

Fields

Basic.identifier ● [Identifier] list object

Identifier assigned to the resource for business purposes, outside the context of FHIR.

Basic.code ● CodeableConcept object

Identifies the type of resource - equivalent to the resource name for other resources.

Basic.subject ● Reference object

Identifies the patient, practitioner, device or any other resource that is the focus of this resource.

Basic.created ● Date scalar

Identifies when the resource was first created.

Basic.author ● Reference object

Indicates who was responsible for creating the resource instance.

Basic.text ● Narrative object

A 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.

Basic.contained ● [Resource] list interface

These 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.

Basic.extension ● [Extension] list object

May 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.

Basic.modifierExtension ● [Extension] list object

May 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).

Basic.id ● String scalar

The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

Basic.meta ● Meta object

The 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.

Basic.implicitRules ● Uri scalar

A 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.

Basic.language ● String scalar

The base language in which the resource is written.

Interfaces

Resource interface

This is the base resource type for everything.
