ActivityDefinition Definitions
<a id="ActivityDefinition"></a>
ActivityDefinition
The definition of a specific activity to be taken, independent of any particular patient or context
Definition: This resource allows for the definition of some activity to be performed, independent of a particular patient, practitioner, or other performance context.
Cardinality: 0..*

<a id="ActivityDefinition.url"></a>
ActivityDefinition.url
Canonical identifier for this activity definition, represented as a URI (globally unique)
Definition: An absolute URI that is used to identify this activity 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 an authoritative instance of this activity definition is (or will be) published. This URL can be the target of a canonical reference. It SHALL remain the same when the activity definition is stored on different servers.
Comments: Can be a urn:uuid: or a urn:oid: but real http: addresses are preferred. Multiple instances may share the same URL if they have a distinct version.
The determination of when to create a new version of a resource (same url, new version) vs. defining a new artifact is up to the author. Considerations for making this decision are found in Technical and Business Versions.
In some cases, the resource can no longer be found at the stated url, but the url itself cannot change. Implementations can use the meta.source element to indicate where the current master source of the resource can be found.
Requirements: Allows the activity definition to be referenced by a single globally unique identifier.

<a id="ActivityDefinition.version"></a>
ActivityDefinition.version
Business version of the activity definition
Definition: The identifier that is used to identify this version of the activity definition when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the activity 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 assets.
Comments: There may be different activity definition instances that have the same identifier but different versions. The version can be appended to the url in a reference to allow a reference to a particular business version of the activity definition with the format [url]|[version]. The version SHOULD NOT contain a '#' - see Business Version.

ActivityDefinition.experimental
For testing only - never for real usage
Definition: A Boolean value to indicate that this activity definition is authored for testing purposes (or education/evaluation/marketing) and no version of this resource will ever be intended for genuine usage.
Comments: Allows filtering of activity definitions that are appropriate for use versus not.. Experimental resources might include example instances in implementation guides, instances created solely for testing purposes, etc. If experimental is 'true' for any version of a resource, it should be true for all versions of the resource. (If experimental changes, then it is being misused or a resource that was never intended for real-world use has unexpectedly changed its purpose.).
Experimental resources are not expected to be stable and may well have breaking changes without a corresponding change to the 'version' element.
Requirements: Enables experimental content to be developed following the same lifecycle that would be used for a production-level activity definition.
Meaning if Missing: If absent, this resource is treated as though it is not experimental.

ActivityDefinition.date
Date last changed
Definition: The date (and optionally time) when the activity definition was last significantly changed. The date must change when the business version changes and it must change if the status code changes. In addition, it should change when the substantive content of the activity definition changes.
Comments: The date is often not tracked until the resource is published, but may be present on draft content. Note that this is not the same as the resource last-modified-date, since the resource may be a secondary representation of the activity definition. Additional specific dates may be added as extensions or be found by consulting Provenances associated with past versions of the resource.

Definition: A legal or geographic region in which the authority that maintains the resource is operating. In general, the jurisdiction is also found in the useContext. The useContext may reference additional jurisdictions because the defining jurisdiction does not necessarily limit the jurisdictions of use.
Comments: It may be possible for the activity definition to be used in jurisdictions other than those for which it was originally designed or intended.
DEPRECATION NOTE: For consistency, implementations are encouraged to migrate to using the new 'jurisdiction' code in the useContext element.

Definition: The timing or frequency upon which the described activity is to occur.
Comments: The intent of the timing element is to provide timing when the action should be performed. As a definitional resource, this timing is interpreted as part of an apply operation so that the timing of the result actions in a CarePlan or RequestOrchestration, for example, would be specified by evaluating the timing definition in the context of the apply and setting the resulting timing on the appropriate elements of the target resource. If the timing is an Age, the activity is expected to be performed when the subject is the given Age. When the timing is a Duration, the activity is expected to be performed within the specified duration from the apply. When the timing is a Range, it may be a range of Ages or Durations, providing a range for the expected timing of the resulting activity. When the timing is a Timing, it is establishing a schedule for the timing of the resulting activity.

ActivityDefinition.transform
Transform to apply the template
Definition: A reference to a StructureMap resource that defines a transform that can be executed to produce the intent resource using the ActivityDefinition instance as the input.
Comments: Note that if both a transform and dynamic values are specified, the dynamic values will be applied to the result of the transform.

ActivityDefinition.dynamicValue
Dynamic aspects of the definition
Definition: Dynamic values that will be evaluated to produce values for elements of the resulting resource. For example, if the dosage of a medication must be computed based on the patient's weight, a dynamic value would be used to specify an expression that calculated the weight, and the path on the request resource that would contain the result.
Comments: Dynamic values are applied in the order in which they are defined in the ActivityDefinition. Note that if both a transform and dynamic values are specified, the dynamic values will be applied to the result of the transform.

ActivityDefinition.dynamicValue.path
The path to the element to be set dynamically
Definition: The path to the element to be customized. This is the path on the resource that will hold the result of the calculation defined by the expression. The specified path SHALL be a FHIRPath resolvable on the specified target type of the ActivityDefinition, and SHALL consist only of identifiers, constant indexers, and a restricted subset of functions. The path is allowed to contain qualifiers (.) to traverse sub-elements, as well as indexers ([x]) to traverse multiple-cardinality sub-elements (see the Simple FHIRPath Profile for full details).
Comments: The path attribute contains a Simple FHIRPath Subset that allows path traversal, but not calculation.

ActivityDefinition.dynamicValue.expression
An expression that provides the dynamic value for the customization
Definition: An expression specifying the value of the customized element.
Comments: The expression may be inlined, or may be a reference to a named expression within a logic library referenced by the library element.
