Fields​

Goal.identifier ● [Identifier] list object​

Business identifiers assigned to this goal by the performer or other systems which remain constant as the resource is updated and propagates from server to server.

Goal.lifecycleStatus ● String scalar​

The state of the goal throughout its lifecycle.

Goal.achievementStatus ● CodeableConcept object​

Describes the progression, or lack thereof, towards the goal against the target.

Goal.category ● [CodeableConcept] list object​

Indicates a category the goal falls within.

Goal.priority ● CodeableConcept object​

Identifies the mutually agreed level of importance associated with reaching/sustaining the goal.

Goal.description ● CodeableConcept object​

Human-readable and/or coded description of a specific desired objective of care, such as control blood pressure or negotiate an obstacle course or dance with child at wedding .

Goal.subject ● Reference object​

Identifies the patient, group or organization for whom the goal is being established.

Goal.startDate ● Date scalar​

The date or event after which the goal should begin being pursued. (choose any one of start*, but only one)

Goal.startCodeableConcept ● CodeableConcept object​

The date or event after which the goal should begin being pursued. (choose any one of start*, but only one)

Goal.target ● [GoalTarget] list object​

Indicates what should be done by when.

Goal.statusDate ● Date scalar​

Identifies when the current status. I.e. When initially created, when achieved, when cancelled, etc.

Goal.statusReason ● String scalar​

Captures the reason for the current status.

Goal.expressedBy ● Reference object​

Indicates whose goal this is - patient goal, practitioner goal, etc.

Goal.addresses ● [Reference] list object​

The identified conditions and other health record elements that are intended to be addressed by the goal.

Goal.note ● [Annotation] list object​

Any comments related to the goal.

Goal.outcomeCode ● [CodeableConcept] list object​

Identifies the change (or lack of change) at the point when the status of the goal is assessed.

Goal.outcomeReference ● [Reference] list object​

Details of what s changed (or not changed).

Goal.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.

Goal.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.

Goal.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.

Goal.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).

Goal.id ● String scalar​

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

Goal.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.

Goal.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.

Goal.language ● String scalar​

The base language in which the resource is written.

Interfaces​

Resource interface​

This is the base resource type for everything.
