Topic: Adding Extension in ValueSet
Aritra Kundu (Mar 18 2020 at 16:01):
Hi Team,
Is there a way to extend the ContactPointUse valueSet to handle specific value. If yes, then how does this impact when we support other profile data (Ex: CARIN or US core)? Do I need to create that structureDefinition and always refer that?
Ex: ContactPointUse value set contains 5 code - home, work, temp, old & mobile. If I want to add one more value: Practice as Provider may typically have contact point use as Practice.

No, the set of code is fixed

If you need more values you have to put them in an extension

Thank you Michele for the response. So does this mean I can only extend those ValueSet which is mentioned as extensible (like MaritalStatus) in Patient resource and not code type (like status)

Correct
You can also extend (or completely replace) those marked as 'example'
