Fields​

ClinicalUseDefinition.identifier ● [Identifier] list object​

Business identifier for this issue.

ClinicalUseDefinition.type ● String scalar​

indication | contraindication | interaction | undesirable-effect | warning.

ClinicalUseDefinition.category ● [CodeableConcept] list object​

A categorisation of the issue, primarily for dividing warnings into subject heading areas such as Pregnancy and Lactation , Overdose , Effects on Ability to Drive and Use Machines .

ClinicalUseDefinition.subject ● [Reference] list object​

The medication or procedure for which this is an indication.

ClinicalUseDefinition.status ● CodeableConcept object​

Whether this is a current issue or one that has been retired etc.

ClinicalUseDefinition.contraindication ● ClinicalUseDefinitionContraindication object​

Specifics for when this is a contraindication.

ClinicalUseDefinition.indication ● ClinicalUseDefinitionIndication object​

Specifics for when this is an indication.

ClinicalUseDefinition.interaction ● ClinicalUseDefinitionInteraction object​

Specifics for when this is an interaction.

ClinicalUseDefinition.population ● [Reference] list object​

The population group to which this applies.

ClinicalUseDefinition.undesirableEffect ● ClinicalUseDefinitionUndesirableEffect object​

Describe the possible undesirable effects (negative outcomes) from the use of the medicinal product as treatment.

ClinicalUseDefinition.warning ● ClinicalUseDefinitionWarning object​

A critical piece of information about environmental, health or physical risks or hazards that serve as caution to the user. For example Do not operate heavy machinery , May cause drowsiness , or Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell .

ClinicalUseDefinition.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.

ClinicalUseDefinition.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.

ClinicalUseDefinition.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.

ClinicalUseDefinition.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).

ClinicalUseDefinition.id ● String scalar​

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

ClinicalUseDefinition.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.

ClinicalUseDefinition.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.

ClinicalUseDefinition.language ● String scalar​

The base language in which the resource is written.

Interfaces​

Resource interface​

This is the base resource type for everything.
