UK Core Implementation Guide 0.5.0 - STU1

StructureDefinition-UKCore-Immunization

Defines the UK Core constraints and extensions on the Immunization resource for the minimal set of data to query and retrieve an individual’s immunisation information.

Profile Purpose

This profile is intended to cover the recording of current and historical administration of vaccines to individuals across all healthcare disciplines in all care settings and all regions. This profile does not support the administration of non-vaccine agents, even those that may have or claim to have immunological effects. While the terms "immunisation" and "vaccination" are not clinically identical, for the purposes of the FHIR profile, the terms are used synonymously.

Examples

Influenza virus vaccine - An example to illustrate a Influenza virus vaccine.

Example UKCore-Immunization-Procedure

Example Usage Scenarios

The following are example usage scenarios for the UK Core Immunization profile:

  • Query and retrieve an individual’s immunisations (vaccinations)
  • Record or update an individual’s immunisations (vaccinations).

Profile specific implementation guidance:

extension:parentPresent

Extension UKCore-ParentPresent which indicates if a parent was present at an immunisation.


extension:vaccinationProcedure

Extension UKCore-VaccinationProcedure to hold an immunization procedure code.

Where status=completed this is Mandatory. This relates to the vaccine that was administered (procedure) and is a SNOMED CT from ValueSet UKCore-VaccinationProcedure


identifier

A unique identifier assigned to this immunization record.

identifier.system

A URI for the system that has allocated the vaccination identifier. Note, this must be unique within a given Supplier system or instance of Supplier system.

e.g.

  1. Example of a “single instance for all customers” Supplier system https://supplierABC/identifiers/vacc.

  2. Example of “per customer instance” Supplier system https://supplierABC/ODSCode/NKO41/identifiers/vacc.

identifier.value

A unique identifier for the vaccination record, that is consistent between any subsequent update or delete records.

Ideally this would be a GUID / UUID.

Value in combination with UNIQUE_ID_URI must be globally unique. In other words, a combination of identifier.value and identifier.system act as composite primary key to allow lookup of any Adverse Reactions records from the corresponding Adverse Reaction data file.

  1. UUID example: e045626e-4dc5-4df3-bc35-da25263f901e

  2. Example of a “single instance for all customers” Supplier system ACME-vacc123456.

  3. Example of “per customer instance” Supplier system ACME-CUSTOMER1-vacc123456 ACME-CUSTOMER2-vacc123456.


status

Indicates the current status of the immunization event.

For a vaccination that has been administered, the status will be completed. This status does not indicate a vaccination course has been completed. When the vaccination has not been administered, the status will be not-done and a statusReason should be supplied.


statusReason

Indicates the reason the immunization event was not performed using a code from the ValueSet UKCore-ReasonImmunizationNotAdministered.


vaccineCode

Vaccine that was administered or was to be administered.

Where status is completed this is Mandatory. This indicates vaccine product administered. This should be a SNOMED CT code from ValueSet UKCore-VaccineCode. AMPP codes should not be used.

Consumer Systems

Consumer systems MUST consume this data.


encounter

The visit or admission or other contact between patient and health care provider the immunization was performed as part of by reference to the encounter. which should conform to Profile UKCore-Encounter


occurrence

Date vaccine administered or was to be administered.


recorded

The date the occurrence of the immunization was first captured in the record - potentially significantly after the occurrence of the event.


primarySource

An indication that the content of the record is based on information from the person who administered the vaccine. This reflects the context under which the data was originally recorded.

Set as true when the content of the record is based on information from the person performing the vaccine or who has clinical responsibility for the vaccination, and the system can be considered a primary source of the vaccination event. Set as false when the information has NOT come directly from people performing the vaccine (e.g. a patient or patient’s carer), and the system should not be treated as a primary source for this record. This is used to help identify and eliminate duplicate records held centrally.


reportOrgin

The source of the data when the report of the immunization event is not based on information from the person who administered the vaccine.

note

Additional immunization notes.

Extra information about the immunization that is not conveyed by the other attributes.


reasonCode

Reasons why the vaccine was administered.

For SNOMED Concepts for COVID19 and Flu see https://digital.nhs.uk/developer/api-catalogue/vaccination as an example of what has been implemented by NHS Digital.


reasonReference

Why immunization occurred by reference to Condition, Observation or DiagnosticReport. The resource being referenced should conform to one of the following:


isSubpotent

Indication if a dose is considered to be subpotent. By default, a dose should be considered to be potent.


subpotentReason

Reason why a dose is considered to be subpotent.


education

Educational material presented to the patient (or guardian) at the time of vaccine administration.


programEligibility

Indicates a patient's eligibility for a funding program.


fundingSource

Indicates the source of the vaccine actually administered. This may be different than the patient eligibility (e.g. the patient may be eligible for a publically purchased vaccine but due to inventory issues, vaccine purchased with private funds was actually administered).


reaction

Categorical data indicating that an adverse event is associated in time to an immunization.


protocolApplied

The protocol (set of recommendations) being followed by the provider who administered the dose.

doseNumberPositiveInt Nominal position in a series of vaccines, N.B. This field will not always be reliable, therefore for Covid vaccinations, the vaccination procedure code or situation code should be used as that includes the dose number.
