package_name: hl7.fhir.r6.examples
derivation: specialization
name: Quantity
type: Quantity
elements:
  value: {short: Numerical value (with implicit precision), type: decimal, isSummary: true, index: 0}
  comparator:
    isModifier: true
    short: < | <= | >= | > | ad - how to understand the value
    type: code
    meaningWhenMissing: If there is no comparator, then there is no modification of the value
    binding: {strength: required, valueSet: 'http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/quantity-comparator|6.0.0-ballot4'}
    isModifierReason: This is labeled as "Is Modifier" because the comparator modifies the interpretation of the value significantly. If there is no comparator, then there is no modification of the value
    isSummary: true
    index: 1
  unit: {short: Unit representation, type: string, isSummary: true, index: 2}
  system: {short: System that defines coded unit form, type: uri, isSummary: true, index: 3}
  code: {short: Coded form of the unit, type: code, isSummary: true, index: 4}
