Use of resource in Smart4Health
DocumentReference is used to communicate a document along with associated meta-data (document type, author etc.). In this context, "document" can refer to a wide array of data types: text files, images (which may themselves be scans of paper documents) etc. Accordingly, the associated data can be in a number of formats e.g. PDF or JPEG. Currently, only the following file types are supported for Smart4Health: JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PDF, and DCM (Dicom images).
The data representing the data itself can be included directly in base-64 encoding (in DocumentReference.content.attachment.data) or referenced by a URL at which the data can be retrieved (in DocumentReference.content.attachment.url). In the Smart4Health context, inlining the data should be preferred as it ensures that the data is always available to the data consumer and avoids problems associated with data retrieval (access restrictions, internet connectivity, moved resource etc.). However, note that the Smart4Health platform limits the size of attachments to 10 MB.
Relation to other DocumentReference profiles
The IPS implementation guide does not contain a DocumentReference profile. In designing the Smart4Health profile, we have therefore tried to align with the DocumentReference profile from the Trillium II project, a project that was closely aligned with the IPS.
Guidelines for handling multiple files/attachment
In the base FHIR specification, DocumentReference resources are allowed to contain multiple content elements which, however, must represent the same content in different formats (e.g. the same document as a PDF and as plain text file). However, the exact interpretation of this latter requirement has proven complicated, leaving a risk of incorrect usage. To preempt such issues, the Smart4Health DocumentReference profile limits the number of content elements to exactly one, i.e. each such resource can carry exactly one binary attachment/file.
In cases where the source systems has multiple files grouped together, one should proceed as follows:
- If the files contain distinct, complete documents: In this case, one DocumentReference resource should be created per file.
- If the files contains copies of the same, complete document in different formats (e.g. PDF and plain text): In this case, one format should be chosen and a single DocumentReference resource containing the corresponding data created.
- If the files contains different parts (e.g. separate pages) of the same document: In this case, the files must be merged together into one file that correctly represents the full document and then put in a single DocumentReference resource. It is not allowed to put the separate parts in different resources even if these are linked via
DocumentReference.relatesTo.
Mandatory and must-support data elements
A valid instance according to this profile must satisfy the following constraints:
- have a status (element:
status) - base constraint - have the time the included document was created (element:
date) - Smart4Health constraint, to allow proper identification of the resource within a complete patient record - have exactly one content element (element:
content) containing an attachment conforming to the Smart4Health Attachment profile - Smart4Health constraint, to avoid confusion or incorrect use since the use and meaning of multiple content element is currently unclear
In addition, 12 top-level elements are marked as must-support.

Formal views of profile content
Differential view
Shows only differences relative to the base resource definition.
| DocumentReference | I | DocumentReference | There are no (further) constraints on this element Element idDocumentReference A reference to a document DefinitionA reference to a document of any kind for any purpose. Provides metadata about the document so that the document can be discovered and managed. The scope of a document is any seralized object with a mime-type, so includes formal patient centric documents (CDA), cliical notes, scanned paper, and non-patient specific documents like policy text. Usually, this is used for documents other than those defined by FHIR.
| |
| id | Σ | 0..1 | string | There are no (further) constraints on this element Element idDocumentReference.id Logical id of this artifact DefinitionThe logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes. The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation. |
| meta | Σ | 0..1 | Meta | There are no (further) constraints on this element Element idDocumentReference.meta Metadata about the resource DefinitionThe metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.
|
| implicitRules | Σ ?! | 0..1 | uri | There are no (further) constraints on this element Element idDocumentReference.implicitRules A set of rules under which this content was created DefinitionA 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. 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 | 0..1 | codeBinding | There are no (further) constraints on this element Element idDocumentReference.language Language of the resource content DefinitionThe base language in which the resource is written. 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). A human language.
| |
| text | 0..1 | Narrative | There are no (further) constraints on this element Element idDocumentReference.text Text summary of the resource, for human interpretation Alternate namesnarrative, html, xhtml, display DefinitionA 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. 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.
| |
| contained | 0..* | Resource | There are no (further) constraints on this element Element idDocumentReference.contained Contained, inline Resources Alternate namesinline resources, anonymous resources, contained resources DefinitionThese 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. 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.

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. 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.

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). 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. 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.

Use of the Health Care Privacy/Security Classification (HCS) system of security-tag use is recommended. The confidentiality codes can carry multiple vocabulary items. HL7 has developed an understanding of security and privacy tags that might be desirable in a Document Sharing environment, called HL7 Healthcare Privacy and Security Classification System (HCS). The following specification is recommended but not mandated, as the vocabulary bindings are an administrative domain responsibility. The use of this method is up to the policy domain such as the XDS Affinity Domain or other Trust Domain where all parties including sender and recipients are trusted to appropriately tag and enforce. In the HL7 Healthcare Privacy and Security Classification (HCS) there are code systems specific to Confidentiality, Sensitivity, Integrity, and Handling Caveats.

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 | 0..1 | Narrative | There are no (further) constraints on this element Element idDocumentReference.text Text summary of the resource, for human interpretation Alternate namesnarrative, html, xhtml, display DefinitionA 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. 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.

Use of the Health Care Privacy/Security Classification (HCS) system of security-tag use is recommended. The confidentiality codes can carry multiple vocabulary items. HL7 has developed an understanding of security and privacy tags that might be desirable in a Document Sharing environment, called HL7 Healthcare Privacy and Security Classification System (HCS). The following specification is recommended but not mandated, as the vocabulary bindings are an administrative domain responsibility. The use of this method is up to the policy domain such as the XDS Affinity Domain or other Trust Domain where all parties including sender and recipients are trusted to appropriately tag and enforce. In the HL7 Healthcare Privacy and Security Classification (HCS) there are code systems specific to Confidentiality, Sensitivity, Integrity, and Handling Caveats.
