The date or estimated date that the condition resolved or went into remission.

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.

Business identifiers assigned to this AllergyIntolerance by the performer or other systems which remain constant as the resource is updated and propagates from server to server.

Allows identification of the AllergyIntolerance as it is known by various participating systems and in a way that remains consistent across servers.

This is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion). It is best practice for the identifier to only appear on a single resource instance, however business practices may occasionally dictate that multiple resource instances with the same identifier can exist - possibly even with different resource types. For example, multiple Patient and a Person resource instance might share the same social insurance number.

Code for an allergy or intolerance statement. Represents whether an allergy/intolerance is active or resolved (indicating no longer active).

Allows for alternative encodings within a code system, and translations to other code systems.

This value set combines concepts that can be mapped to clinical status as well as verification status concepts. Implementers are expected to utilize concept maps to ensure the code captured in the source is appropriately mapped to the correct allergy intolerance element.

Represents whether an allergy/intolerance is “active” or resolved (indicating no longer active).

Codes representing the defined possible states of an Act, as defined by the Act class state machine.

Allows for alternative encodings within a code system, and translations to other code systems.

Codes may be defined very casually in enumerations, or code lists, up to very formal definitions such as SNOMED CT - see the HL7 v3 Core Principles for more information. Ordering of codings is undefined and SHALL NOT be used to infer meaning. Generally, at most only one of the coding values will be labeled as UserSelected = true.

Represents an ActStatus code used by systems implementing HL7 V3.

A human language representation of the concept as seen/selected/uttered by the user who entered the data and/or which represents the intended meaning of the user.

The codes from the terminologies do not always capture the correct meaning with all the nuances of the human using them, or sometimes there is no appropriate code at all. In these cases, the text is used to capture the full meaning of the source.

Very often the text is the same as a displayName of one of the codings.

Identification of the underlying physiological mechanism for the reaction risk.

IPS-UV flags this as a Must Support element. It is not currently flagged as Must Support in PS-CA, as stakeholders have indicated the element may not be supported by the majority of systems today. Systems that do support the element are encouraged to include it in generated Patient Summary documents, and support it when received. Vendors should expect that some jurisdictions may add a Must Support requirement within the context of their own jurisdictional content.

Identification of the underlying physiological mechanism for a Reaction Risk.

Category of the identified substance.

This data element has been included because it is currently being captured in some clinical systems. This data can be derived from the substance where coding systems are used, and is effectively redundant in that situation. When searching on category, consider the implications of AllergyIntolerance resources without a category. For example, when searching on category = medication, medication allergies that don't have a category valued will not be returned. Refer to search for more information on how to search category with a :missing modifier to get allergies that don't have a category. Additionally, category should be used with caution because category can be subjective based on the sender.

Category of an identified substance associated with allergies or intolerances.

Estimate of the potential clinical harm, or seriousness, of the reaction to the identified substance.

The default criticality value for any propensity to an adverse reaction should be 'Low Risk', indicating at the very least a relative contraindication to deliberate or voluntary exposure to the substance. 'High Risk' is flagged if the clinician has identified a propensity for a more serious or potentially life-threatening reaction, such as anaphylaxis, and implies an absolute contraindication to deliberate or voluntary exposure to the substance. If this element is missing, the criticality is unknown (though it may be known elsewhere). Systems that capture a severity at the condition level are actually representing the concept of criticality whereas the severity documented at the reaction level is representing the true reaction severity. Existing systems that are capturing both condition criticality and reaction severity may use the term "severity" to represent both. Criticality is the worst it could be in the future (i.e. situation-agnostic) whereas severity is situation-dependent.

Estimate of the potential clinical harm, or seriousness, of a reaction to an identified substance.

A reference to a code defined by a terminology system.

Allows for alternative encodings within a code system, and translations to other code systems.

While the IPS-UV specification considers this a Must Support element, some systems will not have the ability to support codings for every codeableConcept, further feedback is required on whether these systems are still expected to be able to demonstrate they can construct this element when developing the patient summary instance.

Implementers that support codings should still send the codings for codeable concepts if they are available and receivers should not produce failures or rejections if codings are included in the patient summary in the first release (a base tenet of FHIR).

Additionally vendors should expect that some jurisdictions may further constrain support of this element within the context of their own jurisdictional content

A reference to a location at which the other resource is found. The reference may be a relative reference, in which case it is relative to the service base URL, or an absolute URL that resolves to the location where the resource is found. The reference may be version specific or not. If the reference is not to a FHIR RESTful server, then it should be assumed to be version specific. Internal fragment references (start with '#') refer to contained resources.

Using absolute URLs provides a stable scalable approach suitable for a cloud/web context, while using relative/logical references provides a flexible approach suitable for use when trading across closed eco-system boundaries. Absolute URLs do not need to point to a FHIR RESTful server, though this is the preferred approach. If the URL conforms to the structure "/[type]/[id]" then it should be assumed that the reference is to a FHIR RESTful server.

The expected type of the target of the reference. If both Reference.type and Reference.reference are populated and Reference.reference is a FHIR URL, both SHALL be consistent.

The type is the Canonical URL of Resource Definition that is the type this reference refers to. References are URLs that are relative to http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/ e.g. "Patient" is a reference to http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Patient. Absolute URLs are only allowed for logical models (and can only be used in references in logical models, not resources).

This element is used to indicate the type of the target of the reference. This may be used which ever of the other elements are populated (or not). In some cases, the type of the target may be determined by inspection of the reference (e.g. a RESTful URL) or by resolving the target of the reference; if both the type and a reference is provided, the reference SHALL resolve to a resource of the same type as that specified.

Aa resource (or, for logical models, the URI of the logical model).

An identifier for the target resource. This is used when there is no way to reference the other resource directly, either because the entity it represents is not available through a FHIR server, or because there is no way for the author of the resource to convert a known identifier to an actual location. There is no requirement that a Reference.identifier point to something that is actually exposed as a FHIR instance, but it SHALL point to a business concept that would be expected to be exposed as a FHIR instance, and that instance would need to be of a FHIR resource type allowed by the reference.

When an identifier is provided in place of a reference, any system processing the reference will only be able to resolve the identifier to a reference if it understands the business context in which the identifier is used. Sometimes this is global (e.g. a national identifier) but often it is not. For this reason, none of the useful mechanisms described for working with references (e.g. chaining, includes) are possible, nor should servers be expected to be able resolve the reference. Servers may accept an identifier based reference untouched, resolve it, and/or reject it - see CapabilityStatement.rest.resource.referencePolicy.

When both an identifier and a literal reference are provided, the literal reference is preferred. Applications processing the resource are allowed - but not required - to check that the identifier matches the literal reference

Applications converting a logical reference to a literal reference may choose to leave the logical reference present, or remove it.

Reference is intended to point to a structure that can potentially be expressed as a FHIR resource, though there is no need for it to exist as an actual FHIR resource instance - except in as much as an application wishes to actual find the target of the reference. The content referred to be the identifier must meet the logical constraints implied by any limitations on what resource types are permitted for the reference. For example, it would not be legitimate to send the identifier for a drug prescription if the type were Reference(Observation|DiagnosticReport). One of the use-cases for Reference.identifier is the situation where no FHIR representation exists (where the type is Reference (Any).

Plain text narrative that identifies the resource in addition to the resource reference.

This is generally not the same as the Resource.text of the referenced resource. The purpose is to identify what's being referenced, not to fully describe it.

The encounter when the allergy or intolerance was asserted.

References SHALL be a reference to an actual FHIR resource, and SHALL be resolveable (allowing for access control, temporary unavailability, etc.). Resolution can be either by retrieval from the URL, or, where applicable by resource type, by treating an absolute reference as a canonical URL and looking it up in a local registry/repository.

Estimated or actual date, date-time, or age when allergy or intolerance was identified.

The recordedDate represents when this particular AllergyIntolerance record was created in the system, which is often a system-generated date.

The source of the information about the allergy that is recorded.

The recorder takes responsibility for the content, but can reference the source from where they got it.

Additional narrative about the propensity for the Adverse Reaction, not captured in other fields.

For example: including reason for flagging a seriousness of 'High Risk'; and instructions related to future exposure or administration of the substance, such as administration within an Intensive Care Unit or under corticosteroid cover. The notes should be related to an allergy or intolerance as a condition in general and not related to any particular episode of it. For episode notes and descriptions, use AllergyIntolerance.event.description and AllergyIntolerance.event.notes.

Identification of the specific substance (or pharmaceutical product) considered to be responsible for the Adverse Reaction event. Note: the substance for a specific reaction may be different from the substance identified as the cause of the risk, but it must be consistent with it. For instance, it may be a more specific substance (e.g. a brand medication) or a composite product that includes the identified substance. It must be clinically safe to only process the 'code' and ignore the 'reaction.substance'. If a receiving system is unable to confirm that AllergyIntolerance.reaction.substance falls within the semantic scope of AllergyIntolerance.code, then the receiving system should ignore AllergyIntolerance.reaction.substance.

The IPS-UV does not consider this element Must Support, however some Canadian systems may capture allergen substances separately from AllergyIntolerance.code. Further investigation is required to determine what approaches are in use by participating jurisdictions.

Codes defining the type of the substance (including pharmaceutical products).

A reference to a code defined by a terminology system.

Allows for alternative encodings within a code system, and translations to other code systems.

Additionally vendors should expect that some jurisdictions may further constrain support of this element within the context of their own jurisdictional content

Text description about the reaction as a whole, including details of the manifestation if required.

Use the description to provide any details of a particular event of the occurred reaction such as circumstances, reaction specifics, what happened before/after. Information, related to the event, but not describing a particular care should be captured in the comment field. For example: at the age of four, the patient was given penicillin for strep throat and subsequently developed severe hives.

Record of the date and/or time of the onset of the Reaction.

Clinical assessment of the severity of the reaction event as a whole, potentially considering multiple different manifestations.

IPS-UV flags this as a Must Support element. It is not currently flagged as Must Support in PS-CA, as stakeholders have indicated the element may not be supported by the majority of systems today. Systems that do support the element are encouraged to include it in generated Patient Summary documents, and support it when received. Vendors should expect that some jurisdictions may add a Must Support requirement within the context of their own jurisdictional content.

Clinical assessment of the severity of a reaction event as a whole, potentially considering multiple different manifestations.

Identification of the route by which the subject was exposed to the substance.

Coding of the route of exposure with a terminology should be used wherever possible.

A coded concept describing the route or physiological path of administration of a therapeutic agent into or onto the body of a subject.

Additional text about the adverse reaction event not captured in other fields.

Use this field to record information indirectly related to a particular event and not captured in the description. For example: Clinical records are no longer available, recorded based on information provided to the patient by her mother and her mother is deceased.
