Change Log

Future changes:

  • Breaking Change: Identifier profile for InEK-StandortId from the German base profile will be used as soon as available. A different system will be used here.
  • Possible change: The mapping of the additional variables collected for the sentinel systems (see chapter Integration of Sentinel Systems) is currently under review. It is possible that in a future version it will be mapped in a different place.
  • A number of terminology resources (ValueSets and CodeSystems) will be moved to a separate FHIR package. This simplifies the update routines and lays the foundation for the use of a terminology server.

13.06.2025: Version rki.demis.ars-1.0.0-rc.2

  • Device: Reference of the sending software to the data sender is mandatory (Device.owner 1..1)
  • ValueSets: LOINC-ValueSets and SNOMED-Answer-ValueSets have been revised and supplemented.
  • Observation: interpretation.text is allowed.
  • Patient: Correction of the invariant for the patient pseudonyms
  • Bundle: identifier.system fixed to value "https://demis.rki.de/fhir/NamingSystem/NotificationBundleId" as expected by the DEMIS backend.
  • Patient: invariant for 3-digit ZIP code also allows letters

15.05.2025: Version rki.demis.ars-1.0.0-rc.1

  • Observation.triggeredBy: Use of the backport extension of HL7
  • Observation.hasMember: Use permitted and expected for described UseCases
  • Organization.identifier: Use of identifier profiles, including modification of a system
  • BodyStructure: Optional use of the BodyStructure resource to map the specimen material
  • Specimen.collection.bodySite: Separation of the ValueSet into body sites and morphological anomalies
  • Restructuring of the referencing of the laboratory submitting the sample:
    • Moving the Encounter resource to an independent section in the composition. If available, the information on the patient's admission to hospital can be mapped there.
    • Addition of a PractitionerRole resource for inpatient specimen providers.
    • Specimen.collection.collector is used to link the specimen with the information about the institution submitting the sample.
  • OperationDefinition defined
  • Encounter.serviceType refers to the correct CodeSystem
  • Minor corrections:
    • Encounter.location.physicalType is displayed in examples
    • SNOMED code for MALDI-TOF adjusted in examples
    • Displays in the ValueSet of the station types corrected
    • Display of the SNOMED code 258603007 adjusted in the ValueSet of the sample material
  • The specification of the canonical URL in meta.profile is mandatory in all profiles. The implementation is initially carried out as closed slicing in order to enable the optional specification of additional canonical URLs in the future.
  • Bundle.identifier: Implementation guide describes the formation rule and overwriting of the value by the DEMIS backend.
  • ValueSets and implementation guide: instead of “semi-quantitative”, the term “qualitative quantity specification” is used.
  • In SNOMED-ValueSets and LOINC-ValueSets the respective version is specified.

08.11.2024: Version rki.demis.ars-1.0.0-alpha.1

  • Initial release
