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.

coding | Σ | 0..* | Coding | There are no (further) constraints on this element Element IdPatient.identifier:NH.type.coding Code defined by a terminology system DefinitionA reference to a code defined by a terminology system. 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.

system | Σ | 0..1 | uri | There are no (further) constraints on this element Element IdPatient.identifier:NH.type.coding.system Identity of the terminology system DefinitionThe identification of the code system that defines the meaning of the symbol in the code. Need to be unambiguous about the source of the definition of the symbol. The URI may be an OID (urn:oid:...) or a UUID (urn:uuid:...). OIDs and UUIDs SHALL be references to the HL7 OID registry. Otherwise, the URI should come from HL7's list of FHIR defined special URIs or it should reference to some definition that establishes the system clearly and unambiguously.
|
version | Σ | 0..1 | string | There are no (further) constraints on this element Element IdPatient.identifier:NH.type.coding.version Version of the system - if relevant DefinitionThe version of the code system which was used when choosing this code. Note that a well-maintained code system does not need the version reported, because the meaning of codes is consistent across versions. However this cannot consistently be assured, and when the meaning is not guaranteed to be consistent, the version SHOULD be exchanged. Where the terminology does not clearly define what string should be used to identify code system versions, the recommendation is to use the date (expressed in FHIR date format) on which that version was officially published as the version date.

userSelected | Σ | 0..1 | boolean | There are no (further) constraints on this element Element IdPatient.identifier:NH.type.coding.userSelected If this coding was chosen directly by the user DefinitionIndicates that this coding was chosen by a user directly - e.g. off a pick list of available items (codes or displays). This has been identified as a clinical safety criterium - that this exact system/code pair was chosen explicitly, rather than inferred by the system based on some rules or language processing. Amongst a set of alternatives, a directly chosen code is the most appropriate starting point for new translations. There is some ambiguity about what exactly 'directly chosen' implies, and trading partner agreement may be needed to clarify the use of this element and its consequences more completely.

text | Σ | 0..1 | string | There are no (further) constraints on this element Element IdPatient.identifier:NH.type.text Plain text representation of the concept DefinitionA 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.

|
gender | Σ | 0..1 | codeBinding | There are no (further) constraints on this element Element IdPatient.gender male | female | other | unknown DefinitionAdministrative Gender - the gender that the patient is considered to have for administration and record keeping purposes. Needed for identification of the individual, in combination with (at least) name and birth date. The gender might not match the biological sex as determined by genetics or the individual's preferred identification. Note that for both humans and particularly animals, there are other legitimate possibilities than male and female, though the vast majority of systems and contexts only support male and female. Systems providing decision support or enforcing business rules should ideally do this on the basis of Observations dealing with the specific sex or gender aspect of interest (anatomical, chromosomal, social, etc.) However, because these observations are infrequently recorded, defaulting to the administrative gender is common practice. Where such defaulting occurs, rule enforcement should allow for the variation between administrative and biological, chromosomal and other gender aspects. For example, an alert about a hysterectomy on a male should be handled as a warning or overridable error, not a "hard" error. See the Patient Gender and Sex section for additional information about communicating patient gender and sex. The gender of a person used for administrative purposes. AdministrativeGender (required)Constraints

|
deceased[x] | Σ ?! | 0..1 | Element IdPatient.deceased[x] Indicates if the individual is deceased or not DefinitionIndicates if the individual is deceased or not. The fact that a patient is deceased influences the clinical process. Also, in human communication and relation management it is necessary to know whether the person is alive. If there's no value in the instance, it means there is no statement on whether or not the individual is deceased. Most systems will interpret the absence of a value as a sign of the person being alive.

Obligations
Obligations are a new (and evolving) mechanism in FHIR to provide a consistent and machine processable way for profiles to define their expectations for system behaviors.
This profile utilizes the Obligation Extension to convey these expectations.
Note: Simplifier is working on rendering of Obligations. In the meantime the Obligations applied on the profile (see JSON & XML structure) have been rendered as a table below for easier viewing.
Obligation Code | Actor | Elements |
---|---|---|
can-send | Server Actor (CA Core) | text, identifier, identifier:MRN, name, name.text, name.family, name.given, name:previous, telecom, telecom:Phone, telecom:Email, birthDate, deceasedDateTime, address, address:Home, contact:Emergency, generalPractitioner |
no-error | Client Actor (CA Core) | text, identifier, identifier:MRN, name, name.text, name.family, name.given, name:previous, telecom, telecom:Phone, telecom:Email, birthDate, deceasedDateTime, address, address:Home, contact:Emergency, generalPractitioner |
Terminology
This version of the guide is based on the early content development of the pan-Canadian Health Data Content Framework (pCHDCF). The pCHDCF is still collaboratively defining recommended terminology and as such there are no terminology constraints are introduced into this version of the profile.
