Resource Profile: Proxy Permission

General information

Scope and Usage

This profile can be used to describe a related person having permission to perform activities on behalf of a patient. If the activities are to be performed on patient data, the data can be defined in various ways using the profile.

This information is supplied in the rule element. One or more activities have to be supplied in the rule.activity.action element, along with the rule.activity.actor element referencing the related person permitted to perform the activities. The data on which the activies can be performed should go in the rule.data element. Note that all actions supplied in the activity element are permitted to be performed on the data supplied in the data element. To express an additional set of actions that are permitted to another data set, another Permission instance has to be created.

Permission.implicitRulesΣ ?!
ShortA 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.

Cardinality0..1
Typeuri
ModifierTrue
SummaryTrue
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 its narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

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).

Permission.textC
ShortText summary of the resource, for human interpretation
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.

Cardinality0..1
TypeNarrative
Aliasnarrative, html, xhtml, display
Comments

Contained resources do not have a 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.

ShortContained, inline Resources
Definition

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, nor can they have their own independent transaction scope. This is allowed to be a Parameters resource if and only if it is referenced by a resource that provides context/meaning.

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 managable, 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.

Permission.asserter.referenceΣ C
ShortLiteral 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.

Cardinality0..1

SummaryTrue
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.

ShortType the reference refers to (e.g. "Patient") - must be a resource in resources
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 known RESTful URL) or by resolving the target of the reference.

Permission.asserter.identifierS Σ C
ShortLogical 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.

Cardinality1..1
TypeIdentifier
Must SupportTrue
SummaryTrue
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).

This element only allows for a single identifier. In the case where additional identifers are required, use the http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/additionalIdentifier extension.

Comments

This element deals only with general categories of identifiers. It SHOULD not be used for codes that correspond 1..1 with the Identifier.system. Some identifiers may fall into multiple categories due to common usage. Where the system is known, a type is unnecessary because the type is always part of the system definition. However systems often need to handle identifiers where the system is not known. There is not a 1:1 relationship between type and system, since many different systems have the same type.

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.

ShortLogical 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.

Cardinality0..1
TypeIdentifier
SummaryTrue
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).

This element only allows for a single identifier. In the case where additional identifers are required, use the http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/additionalIdentifier extension.

ShortLogical 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.

Cardinality0..1
TypeIdentifier
Must SupportTrue
SummaryTrue
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).

This element only allows for a single identifier. In the case where additional identifers are required, use the http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/additionalIdentifier extension.

This element deals only with general categories of identifiers. It SHOULD not be used for codes that correspond 1..1 with the Identifier.system. Some identifiers may fall into multiple categories due to common usage. Where the system is known, a type is unnecessary because the type is always part of the system definition. However systems often need to handle identifiers where the system is not known. There is not a 1:1 relationship between type and system, since many different systems have the same type.

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.

Cardinality1..1
TypeIdentifier
Must SupportTrue
SummaryTrue
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).

This element only allows for a single identifier. In the case where additional identifers are required, use the http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/additionalIdentifier extension.

SummaryTrue
Requirements

Allows users to make use of identifiers when the identifier system is not known.

Comments

This element deals only with general categories of identifiers. It SHOULD not be used for codes that correspond 1..1 with the Identifier.system. Some identifiers may fall into multiple categories due to common usage. Where the system is known, a type is unnecessary because the type is always part of the system definition. However systems often need to handle identifiers where the system is not known. There is not a 1:1 relationship between type and system, since many different systems have the same type.

SummaryTrue
Comments

If the value is a full URI, then the system SHALL be urn:ietf:rfc:3986. The value's primary purpose is computational mapping. As a result, it may be normalized for comparison purposes (e.g. removing non-significant whitespace, dashes, etc.) A value formatted for human display can be conveyed using the http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/rendered-value). Identifier.value is to be treated as case sensitive unless knowledge of the Identifier.system allows the processer to be confident that non-case-sensitive processing is safe.

Details

The red must-support flag ("S") indicates that the element is expected in some use cases, and a missing flag that the element is never used.

The following sections describe how to use the profile to build a proxy permission.

For whom - on whose behalf can the actions be performed

To define the patient on whose behalf the permitted actions can be performed, use the asserter element. To reference the patient using an existing external identifier, the system of the identifier and the value should be provided. The system ID declares what type of identifier the patient identifier is.

{
  [...]
  "asserter": {
    "identifier": {
      "system": "http://electronichealth.se/identifier/personnummer",
      "value": "198001032385"
    }
  }
}

Current valid patient identifiers are:

Actor - Who is being permitted to perform the actions

To define the RelatedPerson who is being permitted to perform the actions, the element rule.activity.actor should be used.

To reference the actor's existing external identifier, the system of the identifier and the value should be provided. The system ID declares what type of identifier the external identifier is.

{
  [...]
  "rule": [
    {
      "activity": [
        {
          "actor": [

                "value": "198001032385"

            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Current valid identifiers are:

To supply evidence that justifies why the related person legally is permitted to perform the actions, use the justification.evidence element. The element can reference a Permission - ProxyPermission if the proxy is based on a power of attorney or a RelatedPerson if the proxy is based on the relationship the actor has to the patient, e.g. being a legal guardian. The RelatedPerson instance referenced must have the relationship element supplied with the correct code for guardian.

      }
    ]
  }
}

When - During what time frame are the actions permitted

To define when the permission is valid, use the validity element. Note that a start time for the permission has to be supplied. If an end time is not supplied, the permission should be interpreted as indefinite.

  "validity": {
    "start": "2026-11-12",
    "end": "2027-11-12"
  }
}

Actions - what actions are permitted

To define what actions are permitted to be performed on behalf of the patient, use the rule.activity.action element. Use codes from value set Aktiviteter som företrädarskap innefattar.

Data - on what data can actions be performed

The following sections describe how to define the data on which the actions can be performed. This can be done by specifying what source the data has, what category of data it is and when the data was registered. These filters can be combined freely.

Define data by its source

To define the data on which the permitted actions can be performed based on where the data originates, the rule.data.resource element should be used. A data source can be a care giver, care unit or country. The resource element contains a reference that can reference to the source as a Organization. The data element also contains a meaning element that should be set to authoredby to specify that the reference is a data source.

If a data source is not supplied, the data definition should be interpreted to regard data from any data source and that matches the other data filters.

{
  [...]
  "rule": [
    {
      "data": [ 
        {
          "resource": [
            {
              "reference": {
                "identifier": { 
                  "system": "urn:oid:2.5.4.97",
                  "value": "2021005389"
                }
              },
              "meaning": "authoredby"
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Country

If the source is a country, current valid identifiers are:

  • Country code according to ISO-3166
    • system: urn:iso:std:iso:3166
    • value format: 2 characters, e.g. SE

Healthcare provider

If the source is a healthcare provider, current valid identifiers are:

  • Organization identifier (sv: organisationsnummer)
    • system: urn:oid:2.5.4.97
    • value format: 10 digits without hyphen, e.g. 2021005389
  • Personal identity number (sv: personnummer)

Healthcare unit

If the source is a healthcare unit, current valid identifiers are:

  • HSA ID
    • system: urn:oid:1.2.752.29.4.19
    • value format: SE+10 digits+hyphen+a number of alphanumerical characters, e.g. SE1234567890-ABC1
Define data by information category

To define the data on which the permitted actions can be performed based on information category, the rule.data.extension.resourceType element should be used. To use the resourceType extension, supply the url "http://electronichealth.se/fhir/NDI/StructureDefinition/permission-data-document-type-ps". Use codes from value set Datakategorier enligt EHDS.

If an information category is not supplied, the data definition should be interpreted to regard data of all information categories and that matches the other data filters.

{
  [...]
  "rule": [
    {
      "data": [ 
        {
          "extension": [
            {
              "url": "http://electronichealth.se/fhir/NDI/StructureDefinition/permission-data-document-type-ps",
              "valueCodeableConcept": {
                "coding": [
                  {
                    "system": "https://electronichealth.se/CodeSystem/ehds-priority-category",
                    "code": "laboratory-results"
                  }
                ]
              }
            }
          ],
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Define data by date of registration

To define the data on which the permitted actions can be performed based on whether it was registered within a certain time interval, use the rule.data.period element. An empty start element when end has been set should be interpreted as data registered at any time before the set end. An empty end element when start has been set should be interpreted as data registered at any time after the set start.

If a time interval is not supplied, the data definition should be interpreted to regard data from any point in time and that matches the other data filters.

{
  [...]
  "rule": [
    {
      "data": [ 
        {
          "period": [
            {
              "start": "2025-08-01",
              "end": "2025-11-01"
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Reference to instance of data

To define a permission that authorizes access to a specific piece of data the rule.data.resource element should be used. The resource element contains a reference that can reference to an instance of for example an observation or a diagnosis. The meaning should be set to instance to specify that the reference is a data instance.

If a reference to an instance is not supplied, the data definition should be interpreted to regard all data that matches the other data filters.

{
  [...]
  "rule": [ 
    {
      "data": [
        {
          "reference": {
            "reference": "Observation/02d9860a-18a8-43a2-a961-04219650e72c"
          },
          "meaning": "instance"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Examples

This section contains example instances of ProxyPermission to illustrate how the profile can be used to express permissions for different use cases. See section Supported operations for information on how to query ProxyPermissions.

Note that all logical IDs and personal identifiers are fictional and cannot be queried.

The following example shows how to use ProxyPermission to express a related person being permitted to access laboratory results of a patient from a healthcare provider (NDIOrganization). The type of data is expressed in the rule.data.extension.resourceType element. The action allowed, i.e. access, is expressed in the rule.activity.action element. The healthcare provider from which the laboratory results originates is expressed in the rule.data.resource.reference element, by referencing its organization identifier. The system ID for organization identifier is "urn:oid:2.5.4.97". The rule.data.period element specifies laboratory results that are covered by this permission by the time of their registration.

The asserter references the NDIPatient whose data the related person is permitted to access. The element references the patient's personal identity number, using the system ID "http://electronichealth.se/identifier/personnummer".

The NDIRelatedPerson who is being permitted access rights is referenced to in the rule.activity.actor element. This reference references the related person's personal identity number, using the system ID "http://electronichealth.se/identifier/personnummer".

The justification element references a PowerOfAttorney as legal evidence of the permission.

Permission based on relationship to patient

The following example shows how to use ProxyPermission to express a related person being permitted to access electronic prescriptions of a patient from a healthcare provider (Organization). The type of data is expressed in the rule.data.extension.resourceType element. The action allowed, i.e. access, is expressed in the rule.activity.action element. The healthcare provider from which the laboratory results originates is expressed in the rule.data.resource.reference element, by referencing its organization identifier. The system ID for organization identifier is "urn:oid:2.5.4.97".

The asserter references the Patient whose data the related person is permitted to access. The element references the patient's personal identity number, using the system ID "http://electronichealth.se/identifier/personnummer".

The RelatedPerson who is being permitted access rights is referenced to in the rule.activity.actor element. This reference references the related person's personal identity number, using the system ID "http://electronichealth.se/identifier/personnummer".

The justification element references a RelatedPerson as evidence of the permission, to declare that the permission is based on the fact that the related person is the guardian of the patient.
