    Logical id of this artifact

    Definition

    The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

    Short description

    A set of rules under which this content was created

    Definition

    A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

    Comments

    Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

    Language of the resource content

    Definition

    The base language in which the resource is written.

    Comments

    Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).

    Text summary of the resource, for human interpretation

    Alternate names

    narrative, html, xhtml, display

    Definition

    A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

    Comments

    Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later.

    Definition

    These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

    Comments

    This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags In their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels.

    Comments

    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.

    extensions, user content

    Definition

    May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

    Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

    Requirements

    Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

    Immunization.vaccineCode

    Short description

    Vaccine that was administered or was to be administered. IPS-UV Note: Several kinds of vaccine product coding could be provided. The IPS assumes that either the type of the vaccine for particular disease or diseases (e.g. MMR vaccine) against which the patient has been immunised is provided; or the known absent/unknown code. Other coded information can be provided as well as: the Pharmaceutical and medicinal product identifiers, when available, or equivalent coded concepts; the WHO ATC codes; or any other kind of code that that identifies, classifies or cluster the administered product.

    Definition

    Vaccine that was administered or was to be administered.

    Comments

    See additionalBinding extension.

    Future releases of PS-CA may require use of coded entries. In this release, however, implementations that support codings are encouraged to send the codings for codeable concepts if they are available. Consistent with FHIR best practice, receivers should not produce failures or rejections if codings are received. Vendors should expect that some jurisdictions may further constrain support of this element within the context of their own jurisdictional content.

    IPS-UV Note: Several kinds of vaccine product coding could be provided.

    The IPS assumes that either the type of the vaccine for particular disease or diseases (e.g. MMR vaccine) against which the patient has been immunized is provided; or the known absent/unknown.

    Other coded information can be provided as well as:

    1. The IDMP Pharmaceutical Product Identifier (PhPID), Level 1, [Substance(s)]. Example: Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium; or any other equivalent coded concept.
    2. The IDMP Pharmaceutical Product Identifier (PhPID), Level 2 [Substance(s) + Strength + reference strength]. Example: Amoxicillin 875 mg and Clavulanate Potassium 125 mg; or any other equivalent coded concept.
    3. The IDMP Pharmaceutical Product Identifier (PhPID), Level 3 [Substance(s) + administrable dose form]. Example: Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium, Oral Tablet; or any other equivalent coded concept.
    4. The IDMP Pharmaceutical Product Identifier (PhPID), Level 4 [Substance(s) + strength + reference strength + administrable dose form]. Example: Amoxicillin 875 mg and clavulanate potassium 125 mg, oral tablet; or any other equivalent coded concept.
    5. The IDMP Medicinal Product Identifier (MPID) or any equivalent Medicinal Product Identifier. IDMP MPID uniquely identifies a Medicinal Product, reflecting (but not replacing) any other authorization numbers allocated by a regulator. MPID implies one (set of) PhPID. The MPID shall use a common segment pattern related to a Medicinal Product, which, when each segment is valued shall define a specific MPID concept.
    6. The IDMP Packaged Medicinal Product Identifier (PCID) or any equivalent Packaged Medicinal Product Identifier. Uniquely identifies a Medicinal Product based on its packaging. This implies one MPID can be associated with more than one PCID, if the same Medicinal Product has more than one type of package.
    7. Any other kind of code that that identifies, classifies or clusters the administered product (e.g. the medicinal product or the product class).

    The value sets used for the PhPID, MPID and PCID identifiers are provisional and include only few equivalent concepts used for exemplification purposes, they will be updated with real IDMP identifiers when they will become available.

    Literal reference, Relative, internal or absolute URL

    Definition

    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.

    Comments

    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.

    Type the reference refers to (e.g. "Patient")

    Definition

    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).

    Comments

    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.

    Short description

    Logical reference, when literal reference is not known

    Definition

    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.

    Comments

    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).

    Vaccine administration date

    Definition

    Date vaccine administered or was to be administered.

    Comments

    When immunizations are given a specific date and time should always be known. When immunizations are patient reported, a specific date might not be known. Although partial dates are allowed, an adult patient might not be able to recall the year a childhood immunization was given. An exact date is always preferable, but the use of the String data type is acceptable when an exact date is not known. A small number of vaccines (e.g. live oral typhoid vaccine) are given as a series of patient self-administered dose over a span of time. In cases like this, often, only the first dose (typically a provider supervised dose) is recorded with the occurrence indicating the date/time of the first dose.

    See additionalBinding extension.

    IPS-UV no longer 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.

    Future releases of PS-CA may require use of coded entries. In this release, however, implementations that support codings are encouraged to send the codings for codeable concepts if they are available. Consistent with FHIR best practice, receivers should not produce failures or rejections if codings are received.

    May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

    Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

    Requirements

    Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

    Typically, the recognition of the dose being sub-potent is retrospective, after the administration (ex. notification of a manufacturer recall after administration). However, in the case of a partial administration (the patient moves unexpectedly and only some of the dose is actually administered), subpotency may be recognized immediately, but it is still important to record the event.

    Definition

    May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

    Comments

    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.

    Extensions that cannot be ignored even if unrecognized

    Alternate names

    extensions, user content, modifiers

    Definition

    May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

    Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

    Requirements

    Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

    Comments

    Key Differences between the IPS-UV and PS-CA

    Must Support Differences:

    The following elements are considered Must Support in the Immunization (IPS) profile that are relaxed in this version of the PS-CA profile:

    • Immunization.occurrence[x]: data-absent-reason

      Note: Systems that support these elements are encouraged to send them in patient summaries

    Cardinality Differences:

    There are no cardinality differences between this profile and IPS-UV

    Vocabulary Differences:

    • Immunization.vaccineCode

      • added preferred binding of SNOMED CT Canadian Edition VaccineAdministeredTradeNameCode
        • Note: VaccineHistoricalNameCode, PassiveAdministeredImmunizingAgentCode, and PassiveHistoricalImmunizingAgentCode equivalently preferred to the primary binding as they convey codes that are intended to be utilized in different contexts (e.g., passive agents)
      • additionalBindings added for:

        • WHO ATC WhoAtcUvIps,
        • absent or unknown immunizations AbsentOrUnknownImmunizationsUvIps IPS absent/unknown ValueSets have been deprecated as of IPS 2.0.0-ballot and subsumed into their VaccinesUvIps. This change is pending analysis & alignment in a future update.
    • Immunization.site

    The development of a FHIR ValueSet & Terminology Gateway subset for this element is underway. Given that the migration of terminology from the CVC to NVC is underway, and that this element is no longer MS in PS-CA or IPS, the profiling on this binding has been temporarily removed and will be re-applied in future updates once there is an established subset to point to.

    • Immunization.route

      • added preferred binding of ImmunizationRouteOfAdministrationCode

    Other differences between the IPS and PS-CA Include:

    • Data type profiles (e.g., CodeableConcept) and reference targets (e.g., Patient) replaced with PS-CA equivalents when appropriate
    • Immunization.vaccineCode: IPS datatype profiling removed
