Identifier

An identifier - identifies some entity uniquely and unambiguously. Typically this is used for business identifiers. If the element is present, it must have a value for at least one of the defined elements, an @id referenced from the Narrative, or extensions

type Identifier implements Element {
  use: String
  type: CodeableConcept
  system: Uri
  value: String
  period: Period
  assigner: Reference
  extension: [Extension]
  id: String
}

Fields

Identifier.use ● String scalar

The purpose of this identifier.

Identifier.type ● CodeableConcept object

A coded type for the identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose.

Identifier.system ● Uri scalar

Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, a URL that describes a set values that are unique.

Identifier.value ● String scalar

The portion of the identifier typically relevant to the user and which is unique within the context of the system.

Identifier.period ● Period object

Time period during which identifier is/was valid for use.

Identifier.assigner ● Reference object

Organization that issued/manages the identifier.

Identifier.extension ● [Extension] list object

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.

Identifier.id ● String scalar

Interfaces

Element interface
