| Control | 0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1 |
| Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (extension.exists() != value.exists()) |
| 2. Extension.extension | |
| Definition | An Extension May 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. |
| Short | ExtensionAdditional content defined by implementations |
| Comments | There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone. |

| Comments | The URI may be an OID (urn:oid:...) or a UUID (urn:uuid:...). OIDs and UUIDs SHALL be references to the HL7 OID registry.

However this cannot consistently be assured, and when the meaning is not guaranteed to be consistent, the version SHOULD be exchanged. |
| Short | Version of the system - if relevant |
| Comments | Where the terminology does not clearly define what string should be used to identify code system versions, the recommendation is to use the date (expressed in FHIR date format) on which that version was officially published as the version date. |

| 44. Extension.extension:algorithm.value[x]:valueCoding.extension | |
| Definition | May 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. |
| Short | Additional content defined by implementations |
| Comments | There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone. |

| 46. Extension.extension:algorithm.value[x]:valueCoding.system | |
| Definition | The identification of the code system that defines the meaning of the symbol in the code. |
| Short | Identity of the terminology system |
| Comments | The URI may be an OID (urn:oid:...) or a UUID (urn:uuid:...). OIDs and UUIDs SHALL be references to the HL7 OID registry. Otherwise, the URI should come from HL7's list of FHIR defined special URIs or it should reference to some definition that establishes the system clearly and unambiguously. |
| Control | 1..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1 |
| Type | uri |
| Primitive Value | This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension |
| Must Support | true |
| Summary | true |
| Requirements | Need to be unambiguous about the source of the definition of the symbol. |
| Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
| 48. Extension.extension:algorithm.value[x]:valueCoding.version | |
| Definition | The version of the code system which was used when choosing this code. Note that a well-maintained code system does not need the version reported, because the meaning of codes is consistent across versions. However this cannot consistently be assured, and when the meaning is not guaranteed to be consistent, the version SHOULD be exchanged. |
| Short | Version of the system - if relevant |
| Comments | Where the terminology does not clearly define what string should be used to identify code system versions, the recommendation is to use the date (expressed in FHIR date format) on which that version was officially published as the version date. |
| Note | This is a business version Id, not a resource version Id (see discussion) |

| Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
| 54. Extension.extension:algorithm.value[x]:valueCoding.userSelected | |
| Definition | Indicates that this coding was chosen by a user directly - e.g. off a pick list of available items (codes or displays). |
| Short | If this coding was chosen directly by the user |
| Comments | Amongst a set of alternatives, a directly chosen code is the most appropriate starting point for new translations. There is some ambiguity about what exactly 'directly chosen' implies, and trading partner agreement may be needed to clarify the use of this element and its consequences more completely. |
| Control | 0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1 |
| Type | boolean |
| Primitive Value | This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension |
