0. Range
Définition | A set of ordered Quantities defined by a low and high limit.
Short | Set of values bounded by low and high
Commentaires | The stated low and high value are assumed to have arbitrarily high precision when it comes to determining which values are in the range. I.e. 1.99 is not in the range 2 -> 3.
Control | 0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
Is Modifier | false
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) rng-2: If present, low SHALL have a lower value than high (`low.empty() or high.empty() or (low <= high)`) rng-2: If present, low SHALL have a lower value than high (low.empty() or high.empty() or (low <= high))
2. Range.low
Définition | unit of measure SHALL be UCUM encoded The low limit. The boundary is inclusive.
Short | low bound with UCUM unitLow limit
Commentaires | If the low element is missing, the low boundary is not known.
Control | 0..1
Type | Quantity(SimpleQuantity with UCUM quantity unit, SimpleQuantity)
Is Modifier | false
Résumé | true
Requirements | force UCUM unit encoding
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
4. Range.high
Définition | unit of measure SHALL be UCUM encoded The high limit. The boundary is inclusive.
Short | high bound with UCUM unitHigh limit
Commentaires | If the high element is missing, the high boundary is not known.
Control | 0..1
Type | Quantity(SimpleQuantity with UCUM quantity unit, SimpleQuantity)
Is Modifier | false
Résumé | true
Requirements | force UCUM unit encoding
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))

Control | 0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
Is Modifier | false
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (`hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`) rng-2: If present, low SHALL have a lower value than high (`low.empty() or high.empty() or (low <= high)`)
2. Range.id
Définition | Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
Short | Unique id for inter-element referencing
Control | 0..1
Type | string
Is Modifier | false
XML Format | In the XML format, this property is represented as an attribute.
Résumé | false
4. Range.extension
Définition | 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.
Short | Additional content defined by implementations
Commentaires | 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.
Control | 0..*
Type | Extension
Is Modifier | false
Résumé | false
Alternate Names | extensions, user content
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (`hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`) ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (`extension.exists() != value.exists()`)
Slicing | This element introduces a set of slices on `Range.extension`. The slices areUnordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators: value @ url
6. Range.low
Définition | unit of measure SHALL be UCUM encoded
Short | low bound with UCUM unit
Commentaires | If the low element is missing, the low boundary is not known.
Control | 0..1
Type | Quantity(SimpleQuantity with UCUM quantity unit)
Is Modifier | false
Résumé | true
Requirements | force UCUM unit encoding
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (`hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`)
8. Range.high
Définition | unit of measure SHALL be UCUM encoded
Short | high bound with UCUM unit
Commentaires | If the high element is missing, the high boundary is not known.
Control | 0..1
Type | Quantity(SimpleQuantity with UCUM quantity unit)
Is Modifier | false
Résumé | true
Requirements | force UCUM unit encoding
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (`hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`)
