Vermittlungscode (Identifier)

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

• rim: n/a
• v2: CX / EI (occasionally, more often EI maps to a resource id or a URL)
• rim: II - 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: 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() or (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

Allows the appropriate identifier for a particular context of use to be selected from among a set of identifiers.

Applications can assume that an identifier is permanent unless it explicitly says that it is temporary.

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

• rim: n/a
• v2: N/A
• rim: Role.code or implied by context

Allows users to make use of identifiers when the identifier system is not known.

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.

Allows for alternative encodings within a code system, and translations to other code systems.

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.

Need to be unambiguous about the source of the definition of the symbol.

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 reference to some definition that establishes the system clearly and unambiguously.

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.

• rim: n/a
• v2: C*E.7

Need to refer to a particular code in the system.

Note that FHIR strings SHALL NOT exceed 1MB in size

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

• rim: n/a
• v2: C*E.1

Need to be able to carry a human-readable meaning of the code for readers that do not know the system.

Note that FHIR strings SHALL NOT exceed 1MB in size

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

• rim: n/a
• v2: C*E.2 - but note this is not well followed
• rim: CV.displayName
• orim: fhir:Coding.display rdfs:subPropertyOf dt:CDCoding.displayName

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.

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.

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

• rim: n/a
• v2: Sometimes implied by being first
• rim: CD.codingRationale

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.

Very often the text is the same as a displayName of one of the codings.

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

• rim: n/a
• v2: C*E.9. But note many systems use C*E.2 for this
• rim: ./originalText[mediaType/code="text/plain"]/data
• orim: fhir:CodeableConcept.text rdfs:subPropertyOf dt:CD.originalText

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.

Identifier.system is always case sensitive.

• v2: CX.4 / EI-2-4
• rim: II.root or Role.id.root
• servd: ./IdentifierType

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.

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

• 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

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").

Period is not used for a duration (a measure of elapsed time). See Duration.

• ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
  hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())
• per-1: If present, start SHALL have a lower value than end
