- Method Detail
  - getElementSpecificId
```
String getElementSpecificId()
```
    Used to retrieve an ID for this specific element within a resource. These are used for IDREF referenced between elements within a single resource, and do not have any other purpose.
  - getId
```
@Deprecated
IdDt getId()
```
    Deprecated.
    Use getElementSpecificId() instead. This method will be removed because it is easily confused with other ID methods (such as patient#getIdentifier)
  - setElementSpecificId
```
void setElementSpecificId(String theElementSpecificId)
```
    Used to set an ID for this specific element within a resource. These are used for IDREF referenced between elements within a single resource, and do not have any other purpose.
  - setId
```
@Deprecated
void setId(IdDt theId)
```
    Deprecated.
    Use setElementSpecificId(String) instead. This method will be removed because it is easily confused with other ID methods (such as patient#getIdentifier)
  - setId
```
@Deprecated
void setId(String theId)
```
    Deprecated.
    Use setElementSpecificId(String) instead. This method will be removed because it is easily confused with other ID methods (such as patient#getIdentifier)
