Extension: ext_R5_Endpoint_payload - Detailed Descriptions

Draft as of 2025-06-03

Definitions for the ext-R5-Endpoint.payload extension.

Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be foundhere

0. Extension
Definition

The set of payloads that are provided/available at this endpoint.


Optional Extension Element - found in all resources.

Invariantsele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))

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 managable, 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.

ShortExtensionAdditional 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.
