HL7 FHIR® CareConnect Baseline Profiles for STU3 (Draft Standard for Trial Use)

HL7 FHIR® CareConnect Baseline Profiles for STU3 (Draft Standard for Trial Use)

Important Announcement regarding CareConnect STU3

As of 19/09/2023, CareConnect has been deprecated and all development on the CareConnect FHIR assets has ceased.
Therefore, vendors looking to start new implementations or looking to update existing implementations should use UK Core R4 based solutions. Vendors continuing to implement CareConnect based solutions do so at their own risk and on the understanding that no maintenance or support will be available.

StructureDefinition-Extension-CareConnect-ReferralRequestMethod

This extension is constrained to represent the method used to send or receive a Referral Request.

However this cannot consistently be assured. and when the meaning is not guaranteed to be consistent, the version SHOULD be exchanged. Comments 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.

Comments 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.

coding	Σ	0..1	CodingBinding	Element id Extension.value[x]:valueCodeableConcept.coding Short description Code defined by a terminology system Definition A reference to a code defined by a terminology system. Requirements Allows for translations and alternate encodings within a code system. Also supports communication of the same instance to systems requiring different encodings. Comments 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	uriFixed Value	Element id Extension.value[x]:valueCodeableConcept.coding.system Short description Identity of the terminology system Definition The identification of the code system that defines the meaning of the symbol in the code. Requirements Need to be unambiguous about the source of the definition of the symbol. Comments 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 de-reference to some definition that establish the system clearly and unambiguously.

version	Σ	0..0	string	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Extension.value[x]:valueCodeableConcept.coding.version Short description Version of the system - if relevant Definition The 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. Comments 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.

code	Σ	0..1	code	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Extension.value[x]:valueCodeableConcept.coding.code Short description Symbol in syntax defined by the system Definition A symbol in syntax defined by the system.

Requirements Need to be able to carry a human-readable meaning of the code for readers that do not know the system. Comments Note that FHIR strings may not exceed 1MB in size Data type string Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() \| (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a v2: CE.2 - but note this is not well followed rim:* CV.displayName orim: fhir:Coding.display rdfs:subPropertyOf dt:CDCoding.displayName
userSelected	Σ	0..0	boolean	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Extension.value[x]:valueCodeableConcept.coding.userSelected Short description If this coding was chosen directly by the user Definition Indicates that this coding was chosen by a user directly - i.e. off a pick list of available items (codes or displays). Requirements 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. Comments 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 id Extension.value[x]:valueCodeableConcept.text Short description Plain text representation of the concept Definition A 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. Requirements 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. Comments Very often the text is the same as a displayName of one of the codings.
