Constraints

Id Grade Path(s) Description Expression
dom-2 error QuestionnaireResponse If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT contain nested Resources contained.contained.empty()
dom-3 error QuestionnaireResponse If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL be referred to from elsewhere in the resource or SHALL refer to the containing resource contained.where((('#'+id in (%resource.descendants().reference | %resource.descendants().as(canonical) | %resource.descendants().as(uri) | %resource.descendants().as(url))) or descendants().where(reference = '#').exists() or descendants().where(as(canonical) = '#').exists() or descendants().where(as(canonical) = '#').exists()).not()).trace('unmatched', id).empty()
dom-4 error QuestionnaireResponse If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a meta.versionId or a meta.lastUpdated contained.meta.versionId.empty() and contained.meta.lastUpdated.empty()
dom-5 error QuestionnaireResponse If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a security label contained.meta.security.empty()
dom-6 best practice QuestionnaireResponse A resource should have narrative for robust management text.`div`.exists()
ele-1 error **ALL** elements All FHIR elements must have a @value or children hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())
ext-1 error **ALL** extensions Must have either extensions or value[x], not both extension.exists() != value.exists()
qrs-1 error QuestionnaireResponse.item Nested item can't be beneath both item and answer (answer.exists() and item.exists()).not()
sdcqr-1 best practice QuestionnaireResponse Subject SHOULD be present (searching is difficult without subject). Almost all QuestionnaireResponses should be with respect to some sort of subject. subject.exists()
sdcqr-2 best practice QuestionnaireResponse When repeats=true for a group, it'll be represented with multiple items with the same linkId in the QuestionnaireResponse. For a question, it'll be represented by a single item with that linkId with multiple answers. (QuestionnaireResponse|repeat(answer|item)).select(item.where(answer.value.exists()).linkId.isDistinct()).allTrue()
