| Title | R4: Canonical identifier for this evidence variable, represented as a URI (globally unique) (new) |
| Realm | uv |
| Authority | hl7 |
| Description | R4: `EvidenceVariable.url` (new:uri) |
| Purpose | This extension is part of the cross-version definitions generated to enable use of the element `EvidenceVariable.url` as defined in FHIR R4 in FHIR STU3. The source element is defined as: `EvidenceVariable.url` 0..1 `uri` Following are the generation technical comments: Element `EvidenceVariable.url` is not mapped to FHIR STU3, since FHIR R4 `EvidenceVariable` is not mapped. Element `EvidenceVariable.url` has no mapping targets in FHIR STU3. Typically, this is because the element has been added (is a new element). |
