Usage

The Patient Resource is used to share demographics and other administrative information about the individual who is the subject of the ereferral.

Notes

.id

  • used to uniquely identify the resource
  • if a persistent identity for the resource is not available to use when constructing a message Bundle for transmission via Direct Messaging, a UUID SHOULD be used in this element (with a corresponding value in Bundle.entry.fullUrl)

.meta.profile

  • used to declare conformance to this profile
  • populate with a fixed value: http://ehealthontario.ca/fhir/StructureDefinition/ca-on-eReferral-profile-Patient|1.0.1

.identifier

  • business identifier(s) for the patient, multiple allowed
  • SHALL include patient health card number identifiers or reason if an HCN is not provided (see: ReasonForNoHCN)
  • MAY include other business identifiers

.name

  • the name of the patient
  • .name.family SHALL always be populated
  • .name.given use multiple instances if patient has multiple given names (e.g. first and middle names)

.contact

  • used to identify alternate contacts for the patient
  • when used, .contact.relationship.coding SHOULD be populated with a code and display name from PatientContactRelationships

.generalPractitioner

  • identifies the patients primary care provider / family doctor
  • SHALL be populated with a reference to a PractitionerRole resource
  • if the information is being transmitted via messaging, the referenced resource SHALL be included in the message as a Bundle.entry
