https://fhir.hl7.org.uk/StructureDefinition/UKCore-Listactive2.4.02023-12-12

This profile defines the UK constraints and extensions on the International FHIR resource List.


Profile_Purpose

This profile allows exchange of a flat, possibly ordered collection of records.

The list profile can be used in many places, including allergies, medications, alerts, family history, medical history, etc. This list profile can be used to support individual-specific clinical lists as well as lists that manage workflows such as tracking patients, managing teaching cases, etc.

The list profile supports lists that are homogeneous – consisting of only one type of resource (e.g. Allergy lists) as well as heterogeneous – containing a variety of resources (e.g. a problem list including Condition, AllergyIntolerance, Procedure, etc.).

Detailed Descriptions

List
DefinitionA list is a curated collection of resources.
Cardinality0...*
AliasCollection, WorkingList, Organizer
Invariants
  • dom-2: If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT contain nested Resources
    contained.contained.empty()
  • dom-4: If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a meta.versionId or a meta.lastUpdated
    contained.meta.versionId.empty() and contained.meta.lastUpdated.empty()
  • dom-3: If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL be referred to from elsewhere in the resource or SHALL refer to the containing resource
    contained.where((('#'+id in (%resource.descendants().reference | %resource.descendants().as(canonical) | %resource.descendants().as(uri) | %resource.descendants().as(url))) or descendants().where(reference = '#').exists() or descendants().where(as(canonical) = '#').exists() or descendants().where(as(canonical) = '#').exists()).not()).trace('unmatched', id).empty()
  • dom-6: A resource should have narrative for robust management
    text.`div`.exists()
  • dom-5: If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a security label
    contained.meta.security.empty()
  • lst-3: An entry date can only be used if the mode of the list is "working"
    mode = 'working' or entry.date.empty()
  • lst-2: The deleted flag can only be used if the mode of the list is "changes"
    mode = 'changes' or entry.deleted.empty()
  • lst-1: A list can only have an emptyReason if it is empty
    emptyReason.empty() or entry.empty()
Mappings
  • rim: Entity. Role, or Act
  • rim: Act[classCode<ORG,moodCode=EVN]
List.id
DefinitionThe logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.
Cardinality0...1
Typestring
SummaryTrue
Comments

The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.

List.meta
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.
Cardinality0...1
TypeMeta
SummaryTrue
Invariants
  • ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
    hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())
Mappings
  • rim: n/a
  • rim: N/A
List.implicitRules
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.
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 it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

Invariants
  • ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
    hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())
Mappings
  • rim: n/a
List.language
DefinitionThe base language in which the resource is written.
Cardinality0...1
Typecode
Binding

A human language.

CommonLanguages (preferred)
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).

Invariants
  • ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
    hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())
Mappings
  • rim: n/a
List.text
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.
Cardinality0...1
TypeNarrative
Aliasnarrative, html, xhtml, display
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.

Invariants
  • ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
    hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())
Mappings
  • rim: n/a
  • rim: N/A

List.contained
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.
Cardinality0...*
TypeResource
Aliasinline resources, anonymous resources, contained resources
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.

Mappings
  • rim: Entity. Role, or Act
  • rim: N/A
List.extension
DefinitionMay be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. 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.
Cardinality0...*
TypeExtension
Aliasextensions, user content
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.

List.modifierExtension
DefinitionMay 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).
Cardinality0...*
TypeExtension
ModifierTrue
Aliasextensions, user content
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

If the flag means that the entry has actually been deleted from the list, the deleted element SHALL be true. Both flag and deleted can only be used if the List.mode is "changes".

Requirements

Allows capturing things like "none exist" or "not asked" which can be important for most lists.

Comments

The various reasons for an empty list make a significant interpretation to its interpretation. Note that this code is for use when the entire list has been suppressed, and not for when individual items are omitted - implementers may consider using a text note or a flag on an entry in these cases.

Report issue for UKCore-List

Examples

Empty List - This example shows the use of an empty List to indicate that there is no content. This is not supposed to represent actual system behaviour.
Example UKCore-List-EmptyList

Bundled Allergy List - This example is an example FHIR Bundle that could be returned following a query for the allergies for a patient. Note: the use of List and Bundle is not mandated and is used to illustrate a possible use of the List Profile and is not expected system behaviour.
Example UKCore-Bundle-AllergyList

List Warning Code - An example to illustrate a warning being provided in a List resource.
Example UKCore-Extension-ListWarningCode

Example Usage Scenarios

The following are example usage scenarios for the UK Core List profile:

  • A list of allergies for a Patient
  • A list of current medication for a Patient
  • Record or update a list of information for Patient

Profile Specific Implementation Guidance:

Mandatory and Must Support Data Elements
