FHIR Element Types

FHIR Element Types contains domain types defined in FHIR standard for use in more complex data types. FHIR stands for Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources.

This resource is a RAML fragment in the Healthcare Accelerator.

Defined types:

• Address - Specifies address using postal conventions.
• Age - Age value.
• Annotation - Represents text note.
• Attachment - Contains or references attachments.
• BackboneElement - Specifies the backbone element.
• CodeableConcept - Represents a value that is usually supplied by providing a reference to one or more terminologies or ontologies.
• Coding - Represents a defined concept using a symbol from a defined code system.
• ContactPoint - Details for all kinds of technology-mediated contact points for a person or organization.
• Dosage - Specifies how the medication is/was taken or should be taken.
• Duration - Specifies the Length of time.
• Element - Specifies the Basic identified object.

• Quantity - Specifies the measured amount (or an amount that can potentially be measured).
• Range - Specifies the set of ordered Quantity values defined by a low and high limit.
• Ratio - Specifies the relation between two Quantity values expressed as a numerator and a denominator.
• Reference - Specifies a reference to a resource.
• SampledData - Specifies the series of measurements taken by a device
• Signature - Holds an electronic representation of a signature and its supporting context in a FHIR accessible form
• SimpleQuantity - Specifies not comparable Quantity data.
• Timing - Specifies an event that may occur multiple times.

The fragment depends on types defined in the FHIR Primitive Types fragment.
