| Control | 10..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: cpt-2 |

| Type | code |

| 3. ContactPoint.value | |
| Definition | The actual contact point details, in a form that is meaningful to the designated communication system (i.e. phone number or email address). |
| Control | 10..1 |
| Type | string |
| Primitive Value | This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension |
| Summary | true |
| Requirements | Need to support legacy numbers that are not in a tightly controlled format. |

| 5. ContactPoint.use.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.

| Type | Extension |
| Summary | false |
| Alternate Names | extensions, user content |
| 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. |
