Postal address.

Control0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
2. Extension.id

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

An Extension

Control0..0
TypeExtension
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 Extension.extension. The slices are unordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators:
  • value @ url
4. Extension.url
Definition

Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.

Control1..1
Typeuri
XML RepresentationIn the XML format, this property is represented as an attribute.
Comments

The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.

Fixed Valuehttp://pca.digitalhealth.gov.au/fhir/4.0/StructureDefinition/pca-postal-address
5. Extension.value[x]
Definition

An Australian address expressed using postal conventions (as opposed to GPS or other location definition formats).

TypeAddress(AustralianAddress)

Note: address is intended to describe postal addresses for administrative purposes, not to describe absolute geographical coordinates. Postal addresses are often used as proxies for physical locations (also see the Location resource).

InvariantsDefined on this element
ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
inv-add-0: The address shall at least have text or a line (: text.exists() or line.exists())
inv-add-1: If asserting no fixed address, the type shall be 'physical' (: extension('http://hl7.org.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/no-fixed-address').exists() implies type='physical')
inv-add-2: If asserting no fixed address, the address text shall begin with 'NO FIXED ADDRESS' (: extension('http://hl7.org.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/no-fixed-address').exists() implies text.startsWith('NO FIXED ADDRESS'))
inv-pca-1: value[x] shall contain a maximum of 3 line elements (: line.exists() implies (line.count() < 4))
