Topic: Extension for Communication
Jesse Zuckerman (Jul 30 2019 at 15:12):
I am looking to reuse extensible concepts, specifically for communication. The Practitioner resource has a communication element, but I am looking to describe more staff-level spoken languages, potentially under a Location resource. Is it possible to treat an element from one resource as an extension under another? Or should I go about this another way?

You would need to define a new extension for any resources which don't already have the element you want to add. The Practitioner resource can represent non-clinical staff as well, so depending on your implementation you wouldn't necessarily need a new extension.

@Alex Kontur thanks for the response!
