New in FHIR .NET (getting all possible values for field)

[Rodrigo Xavier Salomone]

Hi, 

I have a question about the possible values of a field.
The standard defines the possible values of gender for example, but as I understand it, it is always possible to expand it.

So in a standard server the possible values are male,female...etc. (defined in Administrativegender)

but it is possible that a client has an expansion by adding for example: Not binary ?

If that's possible, how do I get all the possible values of the Gender field?
Because it is necessary to fill a combo box with all the values supported by the server.

Thank you so much!

For this sort of question you might also consider asking in the fhir chat forums, most people go there first these days.

https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/179171-dotnet

you probably should have a read of this part of the FHIR spec too.

http://hl7.org/fhir/patient.html#gender

It discusses the various ways gender/sex are handled with FHIR and refers onto the Gender Harmony Implementation guide which provides details of some of the extensions you might be looking for, or how might be covered in your jurisdiction.

But to clarify the specific question on terminology binding, you may have missed that the "binding strength" of required on a code field means that these are the ONLY values that can be used.

(lots of relevant good stuff on this page too)

I hope this helps
