OrganizationEHR (Organization)	I		Organization	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Organization Short description A grouping of people or organizations with a common purpose Definition A formally or informally recognized grouping of people or organizations formed for the purpose of achieving some form of collective action. Includes companies, institutions, corporations, departments, community groups, healthcare practice groups, payer/insurer, etc. Data type Organization Constraints dom-2: If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT contain nested Resources `contained.contained.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-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-5: If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a security label `contained.meta.security.empty()` dom-6: A resource should have narrative for robust management text.`div`.exists() org-1: The organization SHALL at least have a name or an identifier, and possibly more than one `(identifier.count() + name.count()) > 0` Mappings rim: Entity. Role, or Act v2: (also see master files messages) rim: Organization(classCode=ORG, determinerCode=INST) servd: Organization
id	Σ	0..1	string	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Organization.id Short description 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. 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. Data type string
meta	Σ	0..1	Meta	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Organization.meta Short description Metadata about the resource Definition The 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. Data type Meta Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`
implicitRules	Σ ?!	0..1	uri	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Organization.implicitRules 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. Data type uri Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`
language		0..1	codeBinding	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Organization.language Short description 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). Data type code Binding A human language. CommonLanguages (preferred) Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`
text		0..1	Narrative	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Organization.text Short description 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. Data type Narrative Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: Act.text?
contained		0..*	Resource	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Organization.contained Short description Contained, inline Resources Alternate names inline resources, anonymous resources, contained resources 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. Data type Resource Mappings rim: N/A
extension	I	0..*	Extension	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Organization.extension Short description Additional content defined by implementations Alternate names extensions, user content Definition May 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. 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. Data type Extension Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both `extension.exists() != value.exists()` Mappings rim: N/A
modifierExtension	?! I	0..*	Extension	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Organization.modifierExtension Short description Extensions that cannot be ignored Alternate names 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. 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. Data type Extension Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both `extension.exists() != value.exists()` Mappings rim: N/A
identifier	S Σ I	0..*	Identifier	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Organization.identifier Short description Identifies this organization across multiple systems Definition Identifier for the organization that is used to identify the organization across multiple disparate systems. Requirements Organizations are known by a variety of ids. Some institutions maintain several, and most collect identifiers for exchange with other organizations concerning the organization. Data type Identifier Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings w5: FiveWs.identifier v2: XON.10 / XON.3 rim: .scopes[Role](classCode=IDENT) servd: ./Identifiers
id		0..1	string	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Organization.identifier.id Short description Unique id for inter-element referencing Definition Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references).

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. Data type Extension Sliced: Unordered, Open, by url(Value) Extensions are always sliced by (at least) url Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both `extension.exists() != value.exists()` Mappings rim: n/a
use	Σ ?!	0..1	codeBinding	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Organization.identifier.use Short description usual \| official \| temp \| secondary \| old (If known) Definition The purpose of this identifier. Requirements Allows the appropriate identifier for a particular context of use to be selected from among a set of identifiers. Comments Applications can assume that an identifier is permanent unless it explicitly says that it is temporary. Data type code Binding Identifies the purpose for this identifier, if known . IdentifierUse (required) Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings v2: N/A rim: Role.code or implied by context
type	Σ	0..1	CodeableConceptBinding	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Organization.identifier.type Short description Description of identifier Definition A coded type for the identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose. 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. Data type CodeableConcept Binding A coded type for an identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose. Identifier Type Codes (extensible) Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings v2: CX.5 rim: Role.code or implied by context
system	S Σ	0..1	uri	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Organization.identifier.system Short description The namespace for the identifier value Definition Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, a URL that describes a set values that are unique. Requirements There are many sets of identifiers. To perform matching of two identifiers, we need to know what set we're dealing with. The system identifies a particular set of unique identifiers. Comments Identifier.system is always case sensitive. Data type uri Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Examples General http://www.acme.com/identifiers/patient Mappings v2: CX.4 / EI-2-4 rim: II.root or Role.id.root servd: ./IdentifierType
value	S Σ	0..1	string	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Organization.identifier.value Short description The value that is unique Definition The portion of the identifier typically relevant to the user and which is unique within the context of the system. 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 Rendered Value extension. 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. Data type string Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Examples General 123456 Mappings v2: CX.1 / EI.1 rim: II.extension or II.root if system indicates OID or GUID (Or Role.id.extension or root) servd: ./Value
period	Σ	0..1	Period	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Organization.identifier.period Short description Time period when id is/was valid for use Definition Time period during which identifier is/was valid for use. Data type Period Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings v2: CX.7 + CX.8 rim: Role.effectiveTime or implied by context servd: ./StartDate and ./EndDate
assigner	Σ	0..1	Reference(Organization)	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Organization.identifier.assigner Short description Organization that issued id (may be just text) Definition Organization that issued/manages the identifier. Comments The Identifier.assigner may omit the .reference element and only contain a .display element reflecting the name or other textual information about the assigning organization. Data type Reference(Organization) Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings v2: CX.4 / (CX.4,CX.9,CX.10) rim: II.assigningAuthorityName but note that this is an improper use by the definition of the field. Also Role.scoper servd: ./IdentifierIssuingAuthority
active	Σ ?!	0..1	boolean	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Organization.active Short description Whether the organization's record is still in active use Definition Whether the organization's record is still in active use. Requirements Need a flag to indicate a record is no longer to be used and should generally be hidden for the user in the UI. Comments This active flag is not intended to be used to mark an organization as temporarily closed or under construction. Instead the Location(s) within the Organization should have the suspended status. If further details of the reason for the suspension are required, then an extension on this element should be used. This element is labeled as a modifier because it may be used to mark that the resource was created in error. Meaning when missing This resource is generally assumed to be active if no value is provided for the active element Data type boolean Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings w5: FiveWs.status v2: No equivalent in HL7 v2 rim: .status servd: ./Status (however this concept in ServD more covers why the organization is active or not, could be delisted, deregistered, not operational yet) this could alternatively be derived from ./StartDate and ./EndDate and given a context date.
type	Σ	0..*	CodeableConcept	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Organization.type Short description Kind of organization Definition The kind(s) of organization that this is. Requirements Need to be able to track the kind of organization that this is - different organization types have different uses. Comments Organizations can be corporations, wards, sections, clinical teams, government departments, etc. Note that code is generally a classifier of the type of organization; in many applications, codes are used to identity a particular organization (say, ward) as opposed to another of the same type - these are identifiers, not codes When considering if multiple types are appropriate, you should evaluate if child organizations would be a more appropriate use of the concept, as different types likely are in different sub-areas of the organization. This is most likely to be used where type values have orthogonal values, such as a religious, academic and medical center. We expect that some jurisdictions will profile this optionality to be a single cardinality. Data type CodeableConcept Binding Used to categorize the organization. OrganizationType (example) Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings w5: FiveWs.class v2: No equivalent in v2 rim: .code servd: n/a

alias		0..*	string	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Organization.alias Short description A list of alternate names that the organization is known as, or was known as in the past Definition A list of alternate names that the organization is known as, or was known as in the past. Requirements Over time locations and organizations go through many changes and can be known by different names. For searching knowing previous names that the organization was known by can be very useful. Comments There are no dates associated with the alias/historic names, as this is not intended to track when names were used, but to assist in searching so that older names can still result in identifying the organization. Data type string Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: .name
telecom	S I	0..*	ContactPoint	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Organization.telecom Short description A contact detail for the organization Definition A contact detail for the organization. Requirements Human contact for the organization. Comments The use code 'home' is not to be used. Note that these contacts are not the contact details of people who are employed by or represent the organization, but official contacts for the organization itself. Data type ContactPoint Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` org-3: The telecom of an organization can never be of use 'home' `where(use = 'home').empty()` Mappings v2: ORC-22? rim: .telecom servd: ./ContactPoints

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.

Requirements May need to keep track of the organization's addresses for contacting, billing or reporting requirements. Comments Organization may have multiple addresses with different uses or applicable periods. The use code 'home' is not to be used. Data type Address Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` org-2: An address of an organization can never be of use 'home' `where(use = 'home').empty()` Mappings v2: ORC-23? rim: .address servd: ./PrimaryAddress and ./OtherAddresses

Most addresses are both. Comments The definition of Address states that "address is intended to describe postal addresses, not physical locations". However, many applications track whether an address has a dual purpose of being a location that can be visited as well as being a valid delivery destination, and Postal addresses are often used as proxies for physical locations (also see the Location resource).

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).

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.

Comments Organizations can be corporations, wards, sections, clinical teams, government departments, etc. Note that code is generally a classifier of the type of organization; in many applications, codes are used to identity a particular organization (say, ward) as opposed to another of the same type - these are identifiers, not codes When considering if multiple types are appropriate, you should evaluate if child organizations would be a more appropriate use of the concept, as different types likely are in different sub-areas of the organization. This is most likely to be used where type values have orthogonal values, such as a religious, academic and medical center.

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).

Comments Organizations can be corporations, wards, sections, clinical teams, government departments, etc. Note that code is generally a classifier of the type of organization; in many applications, codes are used to identity a particular organization (say, ward) as opposed to another of the same type - these are identifiers, not codes When considering if multiple types are appropriate, you should evaluate if child organizations would be a more appropriate use of the concept, as different types likely are in different sub-areas of the organization. This is most likely to be used where type values have orthogonal values, such as a religious, academic and medical center. We expect that some jurisdictions will profile this optionality to be a single cardinality. Data type CodeableConcept Binding Used to categorize the organization.
