             it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier
             elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe
             and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and
             use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there

             Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.
Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or
             DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).">modifierExtension</a>

      Demographics and administrative information about a person independent of a specific health-related
       context.
      The Person resource does justice to person registries that keep track of persons regardless
       of their role. The Person resource is also a primary resource to point to for people acting
       in a particular role such as SubjectofCare, Practitioner, and Agent. Very few attributes
       are specific to any role and so Person is kept lean. Most attributes are expected to be
       tied to the role the Person plays rather than the Person himself. Examples of that are
       Guardian (SubjectofCare), ContactParty (SubjectOfCare, Practitioner), and multipleBirthInd
       (SubjectofCare).

          When a resource has no narrative, only systems that fully understand the data can display
           the resource to a human safely. Including a human readable representation in the resource
           makes for a much more robust eco-system and cheaper handling of resources by intermediary
           systems. Some ecosystems restrict distribution of resources to only those systems that
           do fully understand the resources, and as a consequence implementers may believe that
           the narrative is superfluous. However experience shows that such eco-systems often open
           up to new participants over time.

      The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the

       safe&quot; for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what
       content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.
      Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have
       a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional
       discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied).  This may be necessary

      The Person resource does justice to person registries that keep track of persons regardless
       of their role. The Person resource is also a primary resource to point to for people acting
       in a particular role such as SubjectofCare, Practitioner, and Agent. Very few attributes
       are specific to any role and so Person is kept lean. Most attributes are expected to be
       tied to the role the Person plays rather than the Person himself. Examples of that are
       Guardian (SubjectofCare), ContactParty (SubjectOfCare, Practitioner), and multipleBirthInd
