UK Core Implementation Guide 0.5.0

StructureDefinition-UKCore-RelatedPerson

Defines the UK Core constraints and extensions on the RelatedPerson resource for the minimal set of data to query and retrieve related person information.

Profile Purpose

This profile allows exchange of information about a person that is involved in the care for an individual, but who is not the target of healthcare, nor has a formal responsibility in the care process.

identifier	Σ	0..*	Identifier	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element Id RelatedPerson.identifier Short description A human identifier for this person Definition Identifier for a person within a particular scope. Requirements People are known by a variety of ids. Some institutions maintain several, and most collect identifiers for exchange with other organizations concerning the patient. Examples are national person identifier and local identifier.

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	0..1	uri	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element Id RelatedPerson.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 Identifier.system is always case sensitive.

value	Σ	0..1	string	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element Id RelatedPerson.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. 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.

period	Σ I	0..1	Period	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element Id RelatedPerson.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 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. Data Type Period Constraints 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 `start.hasValue().not() or end.hasValue().not() 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

Requirements Need to be able to mark a related person record as not to be used, such as if it was created in error. Comments This element is labeled as a modifier because it may be used to mark that the resource was created in error.

patient	Σ I	1..1	Reference(UK Core Patient)	Element Id RelatedPerson.patient Short description The patient this person is related to Definition The patient this person is related to. Requirements We need to know which patient this RelatedPerson is related to. Comments 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. Data Type Reference(UK Core Patient) Constraints ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (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 %rootResource.contained.id.trace('ids'))` Mappings rim:n/a rim:The target of a resource reference is a RIM entry point (Act, Role, or Entity) v2:PID-3 rim:scoper[classCode=PSN\|ANM and determinerCode='INSTANCE']/playedRole[classCode='PAT']/id
reference	Σ I	0..1	string	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element Id RelatedPerson.patient.reference Short description Literal reference, Relative, internal or absolute URL Definition A reference to a location at which the other resource is found. The reference may be a relative reference, in which case it is relative to the service base URL, or an absolute URL that resolves to the location where the resource is found. The reference may be version specific or not. If the reference is not to a FHIR RESTful server, then it should be assumed to be version specific. Internal fragment references (start with '#') refer to contained resources. Comments Using absolute URLs provides a stable scalable approach suitable for a cloud/web context, while using relative/logical references provides a flexible approach suitable for use when trading across closed eco-system boundaries. Absolute URLs do not need to point to a FHIR RESTful server, though this is the preferred approach. If the URL conforms to the structure "/[type]/[id]" then it should be assumed that the reference is to a FHIR RESTful server.

type	Σ	0..1	uriBinding	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element Id RelatedPerson.patient.type Short description Type the reference refers to (e.g. "Patient") Definition The expected type of the target of the reference. If both Reference.type and Reference.reference are populated and Reference.reference is a FHIR URL, both SHALL be consistent. The type is the Canonical URL of Resource Definition that is the type this reference refers to. References are URLs that are relative to http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/ e.g. "Patient" is a reference to http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Patient. Absolute URLs are only allowed for logical models (and can only be used in references in logical models, not resources). Comments This element is used to indicate the type of the target of the reference. This may be used which ever of the other elements are populated (or not). In some cases, the type of the target may be determined by inspection of the reference (e.g. a RESTful URL) or by resolving the target of the reference; if both the type and a reference is provided, the reference SHALL resolve to a resource of the same type as that specified. Data Type uri Binding Aa resource (or, for logical models, the URI of the logical model).

identifier	Σ	0..1	Identifier	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element Id RelatedPerson.patient.identifier Short description Logical reference, when literal reference is not known Definition An identifier for the target resource. This is used when there is no way to reference the other resource directly, either because the entity it represents is not available through a FHIR server, or because there is no way for the author of the resource to convert a known identifier to an actual location. There is no requirement that a Reference.identifier point to something that is actually exposed as a FHIR instance, but it SHALL point to a business concept that would be expected to be exposed as a FHIR instance, and that instance would need to be of a FHIR resource type allowed by the reference. Comments When an identifier is provided in place of a reference, any system processing the reference will only be able to resolve the identifier to a reference if it understands the business context in which the identifier is used. Sometimes this is global (e.g. a national identifier) but often it is not. For this reason, none of the useful mechanisms described for working with references (e.g. chaining, includes) are possible, nor should servers be expected to be able resolve the reference. Servers may accept an identifier based reference untouched, resolve it, and/or reject it - see CapabilityStatement.rest.resource.referencePolicy. When both an identifier and a literal reference are provided, the literal reference is preferred. Applications processing the resource are allowed - but not required - to check that the identifier matches the literal reference Applications converting a logical reference to a literal reference may choose to leave the logical reference present, or remove it. Reference is intended to point to a structure that can potentially be expressed as a FHIR resource, though there is no need for it to exist as an actual FHIR resource instance - except in as much as an application wishes to actual find the target of the reference. The content referred to be the identifier must meet the logical constraints implied by any limitations on what resource types are permitted for the reference. For example, it would not be legitimate to send the identifier for a drug prescription if the type were Reference(Observation\|DiagnosticReport). One of the use-cases for Reference.identifier is the situation where no FHIR representation exists (where the type is Reference (Any).

Requirements Related persons need to be identified by name, but it is uncommon to need details about multiple other names for that person. Comments Names may be changed, or repudiated, or people may have different names in different contexts. Names may be divided into parts of different type that have variable significance depending on context, though the division into parts does not always matter. With personal names, the different parts might or might not be imbued with some implicit meaning; various cultures associate different importance with the name parts and the degree to which systems must care about name parts around the world varies widely.

The reference may be version specific or not. If the reference is not to a FHIR RESTful server, then it should be assumed to be version specific. Internal fragment references (start with '#') refer to contained resources. Comments Using absolute URLs provides a stable scalable approach suitable for a cloud/web context, while using relative/logical references provides a flexible approach suitable for use when trading across closed eco-system boundaries.

identifier	Σ	0..1	Identifier	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element Id RelatedPerson.patient.identifier Short description Logical reference, when literal reference is not known Definition An identifier for the target resource. This is used when there is no way to reference the other resource directly, either because the entity it represents is not available through a FHIR server, or because there is no way for the author of the resource to convert a known identifier to an actual location. There is no requirement that a Reference.identifier point to something that is actually exposed as a FHIR instance, but it SHALL point to a business concept that would be expected to be exposed as a FHIR instance, and that instance would need to be of a FHIR resource type allowed by the reference. Comments When an identifier is provided in place of a reference, any system processing the reference will only be able to resolve the identifier to a reference if it understands the business context in which the identifier is used. Sometimes this is global (e.g. a national identifier) but often it is not. For this reason, none of the useful mechanisms described for working with references (e.g. chaining, includes) are possible, nor should servers be expected to be able resolve the reference. Servers may accept an identifier based reference untouched, resolve it, and/or reject it - see CapabilityStatement.rest.resource.referencePolicy. When both an identifier and a literal reference are provided, the literal reference is preferred. Applications processing the resource are allowed - but not required - to check that the identifier matches the literal reference Applications converting a logical reference to a literal reference may choose to leave the logical reference present, or remove it. Reference is intended to point to a structure that can potentially be expressed as a FHIR resource, though there is no need for it to exist as an actual FHIR resource instance - except in as much as an application wishes to actual find the target of the reference. The content referred to be the identifier must meet the logical constraints implied by any limitations on what resource types are permitted for the reference. For example, it would not be legitimate to send the identifier for a drug prescription if the type were Reference(Observation\|DiagnosticReport). One of the use-cases for Reference.identifier is the situation where no FHIR representation exists (where the type is Reference (Any).

References are URLs that are relative to http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/ e.g. "Patient" is a reference to http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Patient. Absolute URLs are only allowed for logical models (and can only be used in references in logical models, not resources). Comments This element is used to indicate the type of the target of the reference. This may be used which ever of the other elements are populated (or not). In some cases, the type of the target may be determined by inspection of the reference (e.g. a RESTful URL) or by resolving the target of the reference; if both the type and a reference is provided, the reference SHALL resolve to a resource of the same type as that specified.

identifier	Σ	0..1	Identifier	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element Id RelatedPerson.patient.identifier Short description Logical reference, when literal reference is not known Definition An identifier for the target resource. This is used when there is no way to reference the other resource directly, either because the entity it represents is not available through a FHIR server, or because there is no way for the author of the resource to convert a known identifier to an actual location. There is no requirement that a Reference.identifier point to something that is actually exposed as a FHIR instance, but it SHALL point to a business concept that would be expected to be exposed as a FHIR instance, and that instance would need to be of a FHIR resource type allowed by the reference. Comments When an identifier is provided in place of a reference, any system processing the reference will only be able to resolve the identifier to a reference if it understands the business context in which the identifier is used. Sometimes this is global (e.g. a national identifier) but often it is not. For this reason, none of the useful mechanisms described for working with references (e.g. chaining, includes) are possible, nor should servers be expected to be able resolve the reference. Servers may accept an identifier based reference untouched, resolve it, and/or reject it - see CapabilityStatement.rest.resource.referencePolicy. When both an identifier and a literal reference are provided, the literal reference is preferred. Applications processing the resource are allowed - but not required - to check that the identifier matches the literal reference Applications converting a logical reference to a literal reference may choose to leave the logical reference present, or remove it. Reference is intended to point to a structure that can potentially be expressed as a FHIR resource, though there is no need for it to exist as an actual FHIR resource instance - except in as much as an application wishes to actual find the target of the reference. The content referred to be the identifier must meet the logical constraints implied by any limitations on what resource types are permitted for the reference. For example, it would not be legitimate to send the identifier for a drug prescription if the type were Reference(Observation\|DiagnosticReport). One of the use-cases for Reference.identifier is the situation where no FHIR representation exists (where the type is Reference (Any).

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.

system	Σ	0..1	uri	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element Id RelatedPerson.patient.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 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.

Requirements Related persons need to be identified by name, but it is uncommon to need details about multiple other names for that person. Comments Names may be changed, or repudiated, or people may have different names in different contexts. Names may be divided into parts of different type that have variable significance depending on context, though the division into parts does not always matter. With personal names, the different parts might or might not be imbued with some implicit meaning; various cultures associate different importance with the name parts and the degree to which systems must care about name parts around the world varies widely.

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 can 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.

Requirements If a related person does not speak the local language, interpreters may be required, so languages spoken and proficiency is an important things to keep track of both for patient and other persons of interest. Comments If no language is specified, this implies that the default local language is spoken. If you need to convey proficiency for multiple modes, then you need multiple RelatedPerson.Communication associations. If the RelatedPerson does not speak the default local language, then the Interpreter Required Standard can be used to explicitly declare that an interpreter is required.

Examples

Example UKCore-RelatedPerson

Example Usage Scenarios

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

Query for related person information for a given Patient
Exchange related person information within a FHIR document or message.

Profile specific implementation guidance:

extension:contactPreference

More information about this extension can be found using the link below.

Extension UKCore-ContactPreference.

extension:contactRank

More information about this extension can be found using the link below.

Extension UKCore-ContactRank.

extension:copyCorrespondenceIndicator

More information about this extension can be found using the link below.

Extension UKCore-CopyCorrespondenceIndicator.

`identifier`

A human identifier for this person. Although related persons can be identified using NHS Numbers, third party NHS numbers are not normally used in patient records. For this reason, the use of this identifier for a related person is dependant on the use case.

`active`

Whether this related person's record is in active use.

`patient`

The patient this person is related to. The resource being referenced should conform to the following:

Profile UKCore-Patient

`relationship`

The nature of the relationship using a code from ValueSet UKCore-PersonRelationshipType.

`name`

A name associated with the person using HumanName data type.

`telecom`

A contact detail for the person using the ContactPoint data type.

`gender`

Administrative Gender - the gender that the related person is considered to have for administration and record keeping purposes.

Important:

This is a FHIR required ValueSet and these values MUST be exchanged. Implementers should map these values to any local values used.

If the only thing that is unknown is how to properly express the value in the necessary constraints (value set, datatype, etc.), then the OTH or UNC flavor should be used. No properties should be included for a datatype with this property unless: Those properties themselves directly translate to a semantic of "unknown". (E.g. a local code sent as a translation that conveys 'unknown') Those properties further qualify the nature of what is unknown. (E.g. specifying a use code of "H" and a URL prefix of "tel:" to convey that it is the home phone number that is unknown.)
