       In R5, there is the extension:

      http://build.fhir.org/extension-artifact-jurisdiction.html 

      which can be used for this purpose. Will create a US Core extension modeled after it to communicate the state jurisdiction for an element.  For example, a  practitioner's  Identifier where a state is required.

       

      note this will serve the same function as http://hl7.org/fhir/us/davinci-pas/StructureDefinition/extension-identifierJurisdiction.

    Description

      In the US, some practitioner Identifiers require that we specify the state, in addition to the identifier. We have no idea what the system will be - but need to indicate the state that issued it. For example, each DME provider in the US must have a state license for the state in which they will provide/sell DME. An ambulance that furnishes services in 1 state may drive over state lines to pick up and transport the patient to another state.
