1. Range
Definition

A set of ordered Quantities defined by a low and high limit.

Control0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
Comments

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.

InvariantsDefined on this element
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.low
Definition

The comparator is not used on a SimpleQuantity

The low limit. The boundary is inclusive.

Control0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
TypeQuantity(CHEMEDQuantityWithEmedUnits, SimpleQuantity)
Comments

The context of use may frequently define what kind of quantity this is and therefore what kind of units can be used. The context of use may also restrict the values for the comparator.

If the low element is missing, the low boundary is not known.

InvariantsDefined on this element
ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
qty-3: If a code for the unit is present, the system SHALL also be present (: code.empty() or system.exists())
sqty-1: The comparator is not used on a SimpleQuantity (: comparator.empty())
3. Range.high
Definition

The comparator is not used on a SimpleQuantity

The high limit. The boundary is inclusive.

Control0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
TypeQuantity(CHEMEDQuantityWithEmedUnits, SimpleQuantity)
Comments

The context of use may frequently define what kind of quantity this is and therefore what kind of units can be used. The context of use may also restrict the values for the comparator.

If the high element is missing, the high boundary is not known.

InvariantsDefined on this element
ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
qty-3: If a code for the unit is present, the system SHALL also be present (: code.empty() or system.exists())
sqty-1: The comparator is not used on a SimpleQuantity (: comparator.empty())

2. Range.id
Definition

Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

Control0..1
Typestring
XML RepresentationIn the XML format, this property is represented as an attribute.
Summaryfalse
3. Range.extension
Definition

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.

Control0..*
TypeExtension
Summaryfalse
Alternate Namesextensions, 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.

InvariantsDefined on this element
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())
SlicingThis element introduces a set of slices on Range.extension. The slices are unordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators:
  • value @ url
4. Range.low
Definition

The comparator is not used on a SimpleQuantity

Control0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
TypeQuantity(CHEMEDQuantityWithEmedUnits)
Comments

The context of use may frequently define what kind of quantity this is and therefore what kind of units can be used. The context of use may also restrict the values for the comparator.

InvariantsDefined on this element
ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
qty-3: If a code for the unit is present, the system SHALL also be present (: code.empty() or system.exists())
sqty-1: The comparator is not used on a SimpleQuantity (: comparator.empty())
5. Range.high
Definition

Control0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
