Definitions for the au-informal-carer extension.
Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be foundhere
| 0. Extension | |
| Definition | This extension can be used to represent information about an informal carer of an Aged Care Patient. An informal carer includes any person, such as a family member, friend or neighbour, who is giving regular, ongoing assistance to another person. This may provide healthcare providers with additional information on the patients support system and identified contact person. The definition for the patient’s informal carer existence indicator is the same described in the definition section of the NMDS. Additionally, this extension allows for the representation of the carer information. Optional Extension Element - found in all resources. |

| 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. |
