StructureDefinition Extension-UKCore-NHSNumberVerificationStatus

Information describing the verification and tracing status of a patient's NHS Number.

Purpose

This extension extends the identifier element of the Patient resource to support the exchange of information on the verification and tracing status of a Patient's NHS Number, as a Codeable Concept. This is currently not supported by the FHIR standard.

Context of Use
Use on element	Patient.identifier

ExtensionUKCoreNHSNumberVerificationStatus (Extension)	C		Extension	Element id Extension Short description NHS number verification status Definition The verification/tracing status of the NHS number. Data type Extension Conditions The cardinality or value of this element may be affected by these constraints: ele-1 Constraints 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()` Mappings rim: n/a rim: N/A
id		0..1	string	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Extension.id Short description Unique id for inter-element referencing Definition Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces. Data type string Mappings rim: n/a
extension	C	0..*	Extension	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Extension.extension Short description Additional content defined by implementations Alternate names extensions, user content 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. 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.
