Schema

Elements

Name	Required	Type	Description
id		string	Unique id for inter-element referencing Details Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
extension		Extension[]	Additional content defined by implementations Details 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. 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.
name		code	Name used to access the parameter value Details The name of the parameter used to allow access to the value of the parameter in evaluation contexts.
use	✓	code	in | out Details Whether the parameter is input or output for the module.
min		integer	Minimum cardinality Details The minimum number of times this parameter SHALL appear in the request or response.
max		string	Maximum cardinality (a number of *) Details The maximum number of times this element is permitted to appear in the request or response.
documentation		string	A brief description of the parameter Details A brief discussion of what the parameter is for and how it is used by the module.
type	✓	code	What type of value Details The type of the parameter.
profile		canonical	What profile the value is expected to be Details If specified, this indicates a profile that the input data must conform to, or that the output data will conform to.
