FHIR - Extending a operation parameter (Additional parameters in Patient Resource)

Question

https://www.hl7.org/fhir/parameters.html

is it right to add the additional parameters in extended operation or can we add the add the parameters in patient resource type . because if we have multiple values we are not able to map the patient data with the extended operation parameter.

Short Answer:

Every element in a resource can have extension child elements to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource.

Parameters should not ever appear inside of a Bundle. Its intended to be the root payload when invoking an operation. It is never used to supplement existing data structures. – Lloyd McKenzie Jun 27 '19 at 19:56

Every element in a resource or data type includes an optional "extension" child element that may be present , So we can add the additional parameter with an extension

Eg: { "resourceType" : "Patient", "extension" : [{ "url" : "http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/patient-citizenship", "extension" : [{ "url" : "code", "valueCodeableConcept" : { "coding" : [{ "system" : "urn:iso:std:iso:3166", "code" : "DE" }] } }, { "url" : "period", "valuePeriod" : { "start" : "2009-03-14" } }] }] }
