urlCanonical identifier for this risk evidence synthesis, represented as a URI (globally unique)An absolute URI that is used to identify this risk evidence synthesis 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 risk evidence synthesis is (or will be) published. This URL can be the target of a canonical reference. It SHALL remain the same when the risk evidence synthesis is stored on different servers.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](resource.html#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](resource.html#meta) element to indicate where the current master source of the resource can be found.
identifierAdditional identifier for the risk evidence synthesisA formal identifier that is used to identify this risk evidence synthesis when it is represented in other formats, or referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance.Typically, this is used for identifiers that can go in an HL7 V3 II (instance identifier) data type, and can then identify this risk evidence synthesis outside of FHIR, where it is not possible to use the logical URI.
versionBusiness version of the risk evidence synthesisThe identifier that is used to identify this version of the risk evidence synthesis when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the risk evidence synthesis 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.There may be different risk evidence synthesis 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 risk evidence synthesis with the format [url]|[version].
nameName for this risk evidence synthesis (computer friendly)A natural language name identifying the risk evidence synthesis. This name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation.The name is not expected to be globally unique. The name should be a simple alphanumeric type name to ensure that it is machine-processing friendly.
titleName for this risk evidence synthesis (human friendly)A short, descriptive, user-friendly title for the risk evidence synthesis.This name does not need to be machine-processing friendly and may contain punctuation, white-space, etc.
statusdraft | active | retired | unknownThe status of this risk evidence synthesis. Enables tracking the life-cycle of the content.Allows filtering of risk evidence synthesiss that are appropriate for use versus not.
dateDate last changedThe date (and optionally time) when the risk evidence synthesis was published. 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 risk evidence synthesis changes.Note that this is not the same as the resource last-modified-date, since the resource may be a secondary representation of the risk evidence synthesis. Additional specific dates may be added as extensions or be found by consulting Provenances associated with past versions of the resource.
publisherName of the publisher (organization or individual)The name of the organization or individual that published the risk evidence synthesis.Usually an organization but may be an individual. The publisher (or steward) of the risk evidence synthesis is the organization or individual primarily responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the risk evidence synthesis. This is not necessarily the same individual or organization that developed and initially authored the content. The publisher is the primary point of contact for questions or issues with the risk evidence synthesis. This item SHOULD be populated unless the information is available from context.
contactContact details for the publisherContact details to assist a user in finding and communicating with the publisher.May be a web site, an email address, a telephone number, etc.
descriptionNatural language description of the risk evidence synthesisA free text natural language description of the risk evidence synthesis from a consumer's perspective.This description can be used to capture details such as why the risk evidence synthesis was built, comments about misuse, instructions for clinical use and interpretation, literature references, examples from the paper world, etc. It is not a rendering of the risk evidence synthesis as conveyed in the 'text' field of the resource itself. This item SHOULD be populated unless the information is available from context (e.g. the language of the risk evidence synthesis is presumed to be the predominant language in the place the risk evidence synthesis was created).
noteUsed for footnotes or explanatory notesA human-readable string to clarify or explain concepts about the resource.
useContextThe context that the content is intended to supportThe content was developed with a focus and intent of supporting the contexts that are listed. These contexts may be general categories (gender, age, ...) or may be references to specific programs (insurance plans, studies, ...) and may be used to assist with indexing and searching for appropriate risk evidence synthesis instances.When multiple useContexts are specified, there is no expectation that all or any of the contexts apply.
jurisdictionIntended jurisdiction for risk evidence synthesis (if applicable)A legal or geographic region in which the risk evidence synthesis is intended to be used.It may be possible for the risk evidence synthesis to be used in jurisdictions other than those for which it was originally designed or intended.

approvalDateWhen the risk evidence synthesis was approved by publisherThe date on which the resource content was approved by the publisher. Approval happens once when the content is officially approved for usage.The 'date' element may be more recent than the approval date because of minor changes or editorial corrections.
lastReviewDateWhen the risk evidence synthesis was last reviewedThe date on which the resource content was last reviewed. Review happens periodically after approval but does not change the original approval date.If specified, this date follows the original approval date.
effectivePeriodWhen the risk evidence synthesis is expected to be usedThe period during which the risk evidence synthesis content was or is planned to be in active use.The effective period for a risk evidence synthesis determines when the content is applicable for usage and is independent of publication and review dates.

Scope and Usage

The scope of the RiskEvidenceSynthesis resource is to describe the likelihood of an outcome in a population with an exposure where the risk estimate is derived from the combination of research studies. Risk estimates are not effects and do not represent a difference between exposure states. Expressing risk estimates is done throughout reporting of biomedical research, systematic reviews, and clinical reference across all disciplines. Risk estimates as a "synthesis" of research studies is a different concept for risk estimation than risk estimates for an individual person.
