public class PlanDefinition
extends DomainResource
    This resource allows for the definition of various types of plans as a sharable, consumable, and executable artifact. The resource is general enough to support the description of a broad range of clinical and non-clinical artifacts such as clinical decision support rules, order sets, protocols, and drug quality specifications.

    Maturity level: FMM3 (Trial Use)

    • Method Detail

      • getUrl

        public Uri getUrl()
        An absolute URI that is used to identify this plan definition when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance; also called its canonical identifier. This SHOULD be globally unique and SHOULD be a literal address at which at which an authoritative instance of this plan definition is (or will be) published. This URL can be the target of a canonical reference. It SHALL remain the same when the plan definition is stored on different servers.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Uri that may be null.

      • getIdentifier

        public java.util.List<Identifier> getIdentifier()
        A formal identifier that is used to identify this plan definition when it is represented in other formats, or referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance.
        Returns:
        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type Identifier that may be empty.

      • getVersion

        public String getVersion()
        The identifier that is used to identify this version of the plan definition when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the plan definition author and is not expected to be globally unique. For example, it might be a timestamp (e.g. yyyymmdd) if a managed version is not available. There is also no expectation that versions can be placed in a lexicographical sequence. To provide a version consistent with the Decision Support Service specification, use the format Major.Minor.Revision (e.g. 1.0.0). For more information on versioning knowledge assets, refer to the Decision Support Service specification. Note that a version is required for non-experimental active artifacts.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type String that may be null.

      • getName

        public String getName()
