Contributor
Contributor
A contributor to the content of a knowledge asset, including authors, editors, reviewers, and endorsers.
Count
Count
A measured amount (or an amount that can potentially be measured). Note that measured amounts include amounts that are not precisely quantified, including amounts involving arbitrary units and floating currencies.
DataRequirement
DataRequirement
Describes a required data item for evaluation in terms of the type of data, and optional code or date-based filters of the data.
Distance
Distance
A length - a value with a unit that is a physical distance.
Dosage
Dosage
Indicates how the medication is/was taken or should be taken by the patient.
Duration
Duration
A length of time.
Element
Element
Base definition for all elements in a resource.
ElementDefinition
ElementDefinition
Captures constraints on each element within the resource, profile, or extension.
Expression
Expression
A expression that is evaluated in a specified context and returns a value. The context of use of the expression must specify the context in which the expression is evaluated, and how the result of the expression is used.
Extension
Extension
Optional Extension Element - found in all resources.
HumanName
HumanName
A human's name with the ability to identify parts and usage.
Identifier
Identifier
An identifier - identifies some entity uniquely and unambiguously. Typically this is used for business identifiers.
MarketingStatus
MarketingStatus
The marketing status describes the date when a medicinal product is actually put on the market or the date as of which it is no longer available.
Meta
Meta
The metadata about a resource. This is content in the resource that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.
Money
Money
An amount of economic utility in some recognized currency.
MoneyQuantity
MoneyQuantity
Narrative
Narrative
A human-readable summary of the resource conveying the essential clinical and business information for the resource.
ParameterDefinition
ParameterDefinition
The parameters to the module. This collection specifies both the input and output parameters. Input parameters are provided by the caller as part of the $evaluate operation. Output parameters are included in the GuidanceResponse.
Period
Period
A time period defined by a start and end date and optionally time.
Population
Population
A populatioof people with some set of grouping criteria.
ProdCharacteristic
ProdCharacteristic
The marketing status describes the date when a medicinal product is actually put on the market or the date as of which it is no longer available.
ProductShelfLife
ProductShelfLife
The shelf-life and storage information for a medicinal product item or container can be described using this class.
Quantity
Quantity
A measured amount (or an amount that can potentially be measured). Note that measured amounts include amounts that are not precisely quantified, including amounts involving arbitrary units and floating currencies.
Range
Range
A set of ordered Quantities defined by a low and high limit.
Ratio
Ratio
A relationship of two Quantity values - expressed as a numerator and a denominator.
Reference
Reference
A reference from one resource to another.
RelatedArtifact
RelatedArtifact
Related artifacts such as additional documentation, justification, or bibliographic references.
SampledData
SampledData
A series of measurements taken by a device, with upper and lower limits. There may be more than one dimension in the data.
Signature
Signature
A signature along with supporting context. The signature may be a digital signature that is cryptographic in nature, or some other signature acceptable to the domain. This other signature may be as simple as a graphical image representing a hand-written signature, or a signature ceremony Different signature approaches have different utilities.
SimpleQuantity
SimpleQuantity
SubstanceAmount
SubstanceAmount
Chemical substances are a single substance type whose primary defining element is the molecular structure. Chemical substances shall be defined on the basis of their complete covalent molecular structure; the presence of a salt (counter-ion) and/or solvates (water, alcohols) is also captured. Purity, grade, physical form or particle size are not taken into account in the definition of a chemical substance or in the assignment of a Substance ID.
Timing
Timing
Specifies an event that may occur multiple times. Timing schedules are used to record when things are planned, expected or requested to occur. The most common usage is in dosage instructions for medications. They are also used when planning care of various kinds, and may be used for reporting the schedule to which past regular activities were carried out.
