The First Nation community the patient affiliates with, as stated — drawn from the same curated band list as the registry group but independent of it and of the registration status: a community can be recorded whatever the other fields hold. NOTE THAT THE BAND LIST IS AN APPROXIMATION OF THIS FIELD'S DOMAIN: a band is a registry group, and a community is not the same thing — one band may have several communities and reserves, and a person can affiliate with a community whose band does not hold their registration. The band list is the only curated Indigenous reference data this specification holds, so a community is recorded as the band nearest to it. Read a value here as the community the patient named, resolved to a band, and not as a claim about registration.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.
Comments
There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Comments
The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.
