    identifier?: Identifier[]

    Goal.identifier Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: External Ids for this goal
    • Definition: Business identifiers assigned to this goal by the performer or other systems which remain constant as the resource is updated and propagates from server to server.
    • Comment: This is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion). It is best practice for the identifier to only appear on a single resource instance, however business practices may occasionally dictate that multiple resource instances with the same identifier can exist - possibly even with different resource types. For example, multiple Patient and a Person resource instance might share the same social insurance number.
    • Requirements: Allows identification of the goal as it is known by various participating systems and in a way that remains consistent across servers.
    • FHIR Type: Identifier
