Definitions for the MODS-Safeguarding logical model.
Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be foundhere
| 0. MODS-Safeguarding | |
| Definition | MODS Definition: Identified safeguarding concerns protecting vulnerable people from neglect or physical, financial, psychological, verbal or other forms of abuse. Implementation guidance: It is recognised that local authorities may not record the details of safeguarding concerns as a matter of policy. In such scenarios, health and social care organisations enquiring about a safeguarding flag may be directed to the local Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) team. Base definition for all elements in a resource. |
| Short | MODS SafeguardingBase for all elements |
| Control | 0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1 |
| Is Modifier | false |
| Logical Model | Instances of this logical model are not marked to be the target of a Reference |
| Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
| 2. MODS-Safeguarding.id | |
| Definition | 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. |
| Summary | false |
| 4. MODS-Safeguarding.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. |
| Short | Additional 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. |
| Control | 0..* |
| Type | Extension |
| Is Modifier | false |
| Summary | 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 MODS-Safeguarding.extension. The slices areUnordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators: |
