0. Extension
Definition | Carries a postcoordinated ICD-11 cluster expression as a single string on a Coding element where the stem code alone is insufficient to fully represent the clinical concept. A cluster expression combines a stem code with one or more satellite codes using the & operator (combination) or / operator (specificity). Example: NC72.Z&XK8G&XJ7ZH&XJ7YM NC72.Z — stem: Fracture of femur, unspecified XK8G — satellite: laterality XJ7ZH — satellite: fracture subtype XJ7YM — satellite: fracture open or closed Usage rules: SHALL only be present when the expression contains at least one satellite code joined by & or / operators. Single stem codes SHALL be represented in Coding.code only and validated via OCL $validate-code. The cluster validator at https://icd11.dghs.gov.bd/cluster/validate explicitly rejects stem-only expressions. The stem code in Coding.code SHALL match the leading stem code in this expression string. Satellite codes in the cluster expression are exempt from the Diagnosis/Finding class restriction that applies to stem codes in Condition.code. Cluster expressions SHALL be validated against the Bangladesh ICD-11 Cluster Validator at https://icd11.dghs.gov.bd/cluster/validate prior to submission to the HIE. Cluster validator endpoint: POST https://icd11.dghs.gov.bd/cluster/validate Body: { "expression": "NC72.Z&XK8G&XJ7ZH&XJ7YM" } This extension is not MustSupport and is not mandatory. It is present only when postcoordination is clinically required. Cluster expressions are typically sourced from the WHO Electronic Coding Tool (ECT) at the point of care. Optional Extension Element - found in all resources.
Short | ICD-11 Cluster ExpressionOptional Extensions Element
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())) ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (`extension.exists() != value.exists()`) ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (extension.exists() != value.exists())
2. Extension.extension
Definition | An Extension 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 | ExtensionAdditional content defined by implementations
Comments | 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.
