Fields​

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.definitionCodeableConcept ● CodeableConcept object​

Define members of the research element using Codes (such as condition, medication, or observation), Expressions ( using an expression language such as FHIRPath or CQL) or DataRequirements (such as Diabetes diagnosis onset in the last year). (choose any one of definition*, but only one)

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.definitionCanonical ● Uri scalar​

Define members of the research element using Codes (such as condition, medication, or observation), Expressions ( using an expression language such as FHIRPath or CQL) or DataRequirements (such as Diabetes diagnosis onset in the last year). (choose any one of definition*, but only one)

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.definitionExpression ● Expression object​

Define members of the research element using Codes (such as condition, medication, or observation), Expressions ( using an expression language such as FHIRPath or CQL) or DataRequirements (such as Diabetes diagnosis onset in the last year). (choose any one of definition*, but only one)

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.definitionDataRequirement ● DataRequirement object​

Define members of the research element using Codes (such as condition, medication, or observation), Expressions ( using an expression language such as FHIRPath or CQL) or DataRequirements (such as Diabetes diagnosis onset in the last year). (choose any one of definition*, but only one)

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.usageContext ● [UsageContext] list object​

Use UsageContext to define the members of the population, such as Age Ranges, Genders, Settings.

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.exclude ● Boolean scalar​

When true, members with this characteristic are excluded from the element.

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.unitOfMeasure ● CodeableConcept object​

Specifies the UCUM unit for the outcome.

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.studyEffectiveDescription ● String scalar​

A narrative description of the time period the study covers.

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.studyEffectiveDateTime ● Date scalar​

Indicates what effective period the study covers. (choose any one of studyEffective*, but only one)

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.studyEffectivePeriod ● Period object​

Indicates what effective period the study covers. (choose any one of studyEffective*, but only one)

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.studyEffectiveDuration ● Duration object​

Indicates what effective period the study covers. (choose any one of studyEffective*, but only one)

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.studyEffectiveTiming ● Timing object​

Indicates what effective period the study covers. (choose any one of studyEffective*, but only one)

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.studyEffectiveTimeFromStart ● Duration object​

Indicates duration from the study initiation.

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.studyEffectiveGroupMeasure ● String scalar​

Indicates how elements are aggregated within the study effective period.

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.participantEffectiveDescription ● String scalar​

A narrative description of the time period the study covers.

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.participantEffectiveDateTime ● Date scalar​

Indicates what effective period the study covers. (choose any one of participantEffective*, but only one)

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.participantEffectivePeriod ● Period object​

Indicates what effective period the study covers. (choose any one of participantEffective*, but only one)

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.participantEffectiveDuration ● Duration object​

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.participantEffectiveTimeFromStart ● Duration object​

Indicates duration from the participant s study entry.

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.participantEffectiveGroupMeasure ● String scalar​

Indicates how elements are aggregated within the study effective period.

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.modifierExtension ● [Extension] list object​

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element s descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. 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. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.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.

ResearchElementDefinitionCharacteristic.id ● String scalar​

Interfaces​

Element interface​

Base definition for all elements in a resource. 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
