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.

Specimen	I		Specimen	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Specimen Short description Sample for analysis Definition A sample to be used for analysis. Data type Specimen Constraints 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()` Mappings rim: Entity. Role, or Act rim: Role[classCode=SPEC] w5: clinical.diagnostics
id	Σ	0..1	id	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Specimen.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 id Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() \| (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a
meta	Σ	0..1	Meta	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Specimen.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 may 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() \| (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a rim: N/A
implicitRules	Σ ?!	0..1	uri	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Specimen.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. 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. 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. Data type uri Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() \| (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a
language		0..1	codeBinding	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Specimen.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. Common Languages (extensible) Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() \| (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a
text	I	0..1	Narrative	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Specimen.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 may 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 in formation is added later. Data type Narrative Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() \| (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a rim: N/A rim: Act.text?
contained		0..*	Resource	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Specimen.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. Data type Resource Mappings rim: Entity. Role, or Act rim: N/A
extension	I	0..*	Extension	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Specimen.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. In order 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. 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() \| (children().count() > id.count())` ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both `extension.exists() != value.exists()` Mappings rim: n/a rim: N/A
modifierExtension	?! I	0..*	Extension	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Specimen.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. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. In order 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. 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.

use	Σ ?!	0..1	codeBinding	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Specimen.identifier.use Short description usual \| official \| temp \| secondary (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 This is labeled as "Is Modifier" because applications should not mistake a temporary id for a permanent one. 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() \| (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a v2: N/A rim: Role.code or implied by context

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.

system	Σ	1..1	uri	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Specimen.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 see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_resource_identifier Data type uri Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() \| (children().count() > id.count())` Examples General http://www.acme.com/identifiers/patient Mappings rim: n/a v2: CX.4 / EI-2-4 rim: II.root or Role.id.root servd: ./IdentifierType
value	Σ	1..1	string	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Specimen.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.

period	Σ I	0..1	Period	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Specimen.identifier.period Short description Time period when id is/was valid for use Definition Time period during which identifier is/was valid for use. Comments This is not a duration - that's a measure of time (a separate type), but a duration that occurs at a fixed value of time. A Period specifies a range of time; the context of use will specify whether the entire range applies (e.g. "the patient was an inpatient of the hospital for this time range") or one value from the range applies (e.g. "give to the patient between these two times"). If duration is required, specify the type as Interval\|Duration.

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 in formation is added later.

period	Σ I	0..1	Period	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Specimen.container.identifier.period Short description Time period when id is/was valid for use Definition Time period during which identifier is/was valid for use. Comments This is not a duration - that's a measure of time (a separate type), but a duration that occurs at a fixed value of time. A Period specifies a range of time; the context of use will specify whether the entire range applies (e.g. "the patient was an inpatient of the hospital for this time range") or one value from the range applies (e.g. "give to the patient between these two times"). If duration is required, specify the type as Interval\|Duration. Data type Period Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() \| (children().count() > id.count())` per-1: If present, start SHALL have a lower value than end `start.empty() or end.empty() or (start <= end)` Mappings rim: n/a v2: DR rim: IVL<TS>[lowClosed="true" and highClosed="true"] or URG<TS>[lowClosed="true" and highClosed="true"] v2: CX.7 + CX.8 rim: Role.effectiveTime or implied by context servd: ./StartDate and ./EndDate

type		0..1	CodeableConcept	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Specimen.container.type Short description Kind of container directly associated with specimen Definition The type of container associated with the specimen (e.g. slide, aliquot, etc.). Comments Not all terminology uses fit this general pattern. In some cases, models should not use CodeableConcept and use Coding directly and provide their own structure for managing text, codings, translations and the relationship between elements and pre- and post-coordination.

note		0..1	Annotation	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Specimen.note Short description Comments Definition To communicate any details or issues about the specimen or during the specimen collection. (for example: broken vial, sent with patient, frozen). Comments For systems that do not have structured annotations, they can simply communicate a single annotation with no author or time. This element may need to be included in narrative because of the potential for modifying information. Annotations SHOULD NOT be used to communicate "modifying" information that could be computable. (This is a SHOULD because enforcing user behavior is nearly impossible). Data type Annotation Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() \| (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a v2: N/A rim: Act v2: OBX rim: .inboundRelationship[typeCode=SUBJ].source[classCode=OBS, moodCode=EVN, code="annotation"].value

extension	I	0..*	Extension	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Specimen.note.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 element. In order 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. 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() \| (children().count() > id.count())` ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both `extension.exists() != value.exists()` Mappings rim: n/a rim: N/A
