Summary true
BodyStructure.active
Element Id BodyStructure.active
Definition

Whether this body site is in active use.

Short Display Whether this record is in active use
Cardinality 0..1
Type boolean
Is Modifier true (Reason: This element is labelled as a modifier because it is a status element that can indicate that a record should not be treated as valid)
Meaning if Missing This resource is generally assumed to be active if no value is provided for the active element
Requirements

Need to be able to mark a body site entry as not to be used because it was created in error.

Summary true
Comments

This element is labeled as a modifier because it may be used to mark that the resource was created in error.
