Online Consultation to Community Pharmacy - Pilot Specification

The QuestionnaireResponse contains enough information about the questions asked and their organization that it can be interpreted somewhat independently from the Questionnaire it is based on. I.e. You don't need access to the Questionnaire in order to extract basic information from a QuestionnaireResponse.

• dom-2:If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT contain nested Resources
  contained.contained.empty()
• dom-1:If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT contain any narrative
  contained.text.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
  contained.where(('#'+id in %resource.descendants().reference).not()).empty()

• rim:Entity. Role, or Act
• rim:Observation[moodCode=EVN]
• w5:infrastructure.information

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

• ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
  hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

• rim:n/a

• ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
  hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

• rim:n/a
• rim:N/A

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.

This element is labelled as a modifier because the implicit rules may provide additional knowledge about the resource that modifies it's meaning or interpretation.

• ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
  hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

• rim:n/a

A human language.

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).

• ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
  hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

• rim:n/a

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 in formation is added later.

• ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
  hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

• rim:n/a
• rim:N/A
• rim:Act.text?

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.

• rim:Entity. Role, or Act
• rim:N/A

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.

• ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
  hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())
• ext-1:Must have either extensions or value[x], not both
  extension.exists() != value.exists()

• rim:n/a
• rim:N/A

• rim:n/a
• rim:N/A

Used for tracking, registration and other business purposes.

• ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
  hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

• rim:n/a
• v2:CX / EI (occasionally, more often EI maps to a resource id or a URL)
• rim:II - see see identifier pattern at http://wiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=Common_Design_Patterns#Identifier_Pattern for relevant discussion. The Identifier class is a little looser than the v3 type II because it allows URIs as well as registered OIDs or GUIDs. Also maps to Role[classCode=IDENT]
• servd:Identifier
• rim:.id
• w5:id

Supports traceability of responsibility for the action and allows linkage of an action to the recommendations acted upon.

References SHALL be a reference to an actual FHIR resource, and SHALL be resolveable (allowing for access control, temporary unavailability, etc). Resolution can be either by retrieval from the URL, or, where applicable by resource type, by treating an absolute reference as a canonical URL and looking it up in a local registry/repository.

• ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
  hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())
• ref-1:SHALL have a contained resource if a local reference is provided
  reference.startsWith('#').not() or (reference.substring(1).trace('url') in %resource.contained.id.trace('ids'))

• rim:n/a
• rim:The target of a resource reference is a RIM entry point (Act, Role, or Entity)
• rim:.outboundRelationship[typeCode=FLFS].target

Composition of questionnaire responses will be handled by the parent questionnaire having answers that reference the child questionnaire. For relationships to referrals, and other types of requests, use basedOn.

• ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
  hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())
• ref-1:SHALL have a contained resource if a local reference is provided
  reference.startsWith('#').not() or (reference.substring(1).trace('url') in %resource.contained.id.trace('ids'))

• rim:n/a
• rim:The target of a resource reference is a RIM entry point (Act, Role, or Entity)
• rim:.inboundRelationship[typeCode=COMP].source[moodCode=EVN]

Needed to allow editing of the questionnaire response in a manner that enforces the constraints of the original form.

If a QuestionnaireResponse references a Questionnaire, then the QuestionnaireResponse structure must be consistent with the Questionnaire (i.e. questions must be organized into the same groups, nested questions must still be nested, etc.).

• ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
  hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())
• ref-1:SHALL have a contained resource if a local reference is provided
  reference.startsWith('#').not() or (reference.substring(1).trace('url') in %resource.contained.id.trace('ids'))

• rim:n/a
• rim:The target of a resource reference is a RIM entry point (Act, Role, or Entity)
• rim:./outboundRelationship[typeCode=INST]/target[classCode=OBS, moodCode=DEFN]

Lifecycle status of the questionnaire response.

The information on Questionnaire resources may possibly be gathered during multiple sessions and altered after considered being finished.

This element is labeled as a modifier because the status contains codes that mark the resource as not currently valid.

• ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
  hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

• rim:n/a
• rim:.statusCode (also whether there's a revisionControlAct - and possibly mood to distinguish "in-progress" from "published)
• w5:status

Allows linking the answers to the individual the answers describe. May also affect access control.

If the Questionnaire declared a subjectType, the resource pointed to by this element must be an instance of one of the listed types.

• ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
  hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())
• ref-1:SHALL have a contained resource if a local reference is provided
  reference.startsWith('#').not() or (reference.substring(1).trace('url') in %resource.contained.id.trace('ids'))

• rim:n/a
• rim:The target of a resource reference is a RIM entry point (Act, Role, or Entity)
• rim:.participation[typeCode=SBJ].role
• w5:who.focus

Provides context for the information that was captured. May also affect access control.

A questionnaire that was initiated during an encounter but not fully completed during the encounter would still generally be associated with the encounter.

• ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
  hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())
• ref-1:SHALL have a contained resource if a local reference is provided
  reference.startsWith('#').not() or (reference.substring(1).trace('url') in %resource.contained.id.trace('ids'))

• rim:n/a
• rim:The target of a resource reference is a RIM entry point (Act, Role, or Entity)
• rim:.inboundRelationship(typeCode=COMP].source[classCode<=PCPR, moodCode=EVN]
• w5:context

Clinicians need to be able to check the date that the information in the questionnaire was collected, to derive the context of the answers.

May be different from the lastUpdateTime of the resource itself, because that reflects when the data was known to the server, not when the data was captured.

This element is optional to allow for systems that may not know the value, however it SHOULD be populated if possible.

• ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
  hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

• rim:n/a
• rim:.participation[typeCode=AUT].time
• w5:when.recorded

Need to know who interpreted the subject's answers to the questions in the questionnaire, and selected the appropriate options for answers.

Mapping a subject's answers to multiple choice options and determining what to put in the textual answer is a matter of interpretation. Authoring by device would indicate that some portion of the questionnaire had been auto-populated.

• ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
  hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())
• ref-1:SHALL have a contained resource if a local reference is provided

• rim:n/a
• rim:The target of a resource reference is a RIM entry point (Act, Role, or Entity)
• rim:.participation[typeCode=AUT].role
• w5:who.author

When answering questions about a subject that is minor, incapable of answering or an animal, another human source may answer the questions.

If not specified, no inference can be made about who provided the data.

• ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
  hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

• rim:n/a
• rim:The target of a resource reference is a RIM entry point (Act, Role, or Entity)
• rim:.participation[typeCode=INF].role
• w5:who.source

Groups cannot have answers and therefore must nest directly within item. When dealing with questions, nesting must occur within each answer because some questions may have multiple answers (and the nesting occurs for each answer).

• ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
  hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())
• qrs-1:Nested item can't be beneath both item and answer
  (answer.exists() and item.exists()).not()

  hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

• rim:n/a

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.

• ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children

Items can repeat in the answers, so a direct 1..1 correspondence by position may not exist - requiring correspondence by identifier.

Note that FHIR strings may not exceed 1MB in size

• ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
  hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

• rim:n/a
• rim:.outboundRelationship[typeCode=DEFN].target[classCode=OBS, moodCode=DEFN].id

A common pattern is to define a set of data elements, and then build multiple different questionnaires for different circumstances to gather the data. This element provides traceability to the common definition.

The ElementDefinition must be in a StructureDefinition or a DataElement, and must have a fragment identifier that identifies the specific data element by its id (Element.id). E.g. http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Observation#Observation.value[x].

There is no need for this element if the item pointed to by the linkId has a definition listed.

• ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
  hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

• rim:n/a
• rim:.outboundRelationship[typeCode=DEFN].target[classCode=OBS, moodCode=DEFN].code

Allows the questionnaire response to be read without access to the questionnaire.

Note that FHIR strings may not exceed 1MB in size

• ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
  hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

• rim:n/a
• rim:.text

Sometimes a group of answers is about a specific participant, artifact or piece of information in the patient's care or record, e.g. a specific Problem, RelatedPerson, Allergy etc.

References SHALL be a reference to an actual FHIR resource, and SHALL be resolveable (allowing for access control, temporary unavailability, etc). Resolution can be either by retrieval from the URL, or, where applicable by resource type, by treating an absolute reference as a canonical URL and looking it up in a local registry/repository.

• rim:n/a
• rim:The target of a resource reference is a RIM entry point (Act, Role, or Entity)
• rim:.participation[typeCode=SBJ].role or .outboundRelationship[typeCode=SUBJ].target

The value is nested because we cannot have a repeating structure that has variable type.

Code indicating the response provided for a question.

Ability to retain a single-valued answer to a question.

More complex structures (Attachment, Resource and Quantity) will typically be limited to electronic forms that can expose an appropriate user interface to capture the components and enforce the constraints of a complex data type. Additional complex types can be introduced through extensions.

• ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
  hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())

• rim:n/a
• rim:.item

It is useful to have "sub-questions", questions which normally appear when certain answers are given and which collect additional details.

• rim:.outboundRelationship[typeCode=COMP].target[classCode=OBS, moodCode=EVN]

Reports can consist of complex nested groups.
