Hi. I'm confused by the Timing datatype. There is a boundsDuration property which is type Duration but the link in the fhir spec to the complex type "Duration" are broken. https://www.hl7.org/fhir/datatypes.html#duration points at Timing. Further complicated by the presence of duration (decimal) durationMax (decimal) and durationUnit. This is a thoroughly confusing part of the specification.

why do you say that the link is broken? it takes you to the definition of the Duration datatype
Grahame Grieve (Apr 24 2017 at 01:38):
though the definition of bounds[x] could definitely be clearer

I was expecting Duration to be anothe complec type with it's own section, not buried in Variations of Quantity.
Grahame Grieve (Apr 24 2017 at 01:38):
bounds is the length of the overall timing specifiation. duration is the length of each individual occurance
Michael Osborne (Apr 24 2017 at 01:41):
So it's just my confusion...Range and Period both have their own sections in the specification, but Duration doesn't.

yes
