https://fhir.hl7.org.uk/StructureDefinition/UKCore-Consent	draft	2.4.0	2023-12-16	This profile defines the UK constraints and extensions on the International FHIR resource Consent.

Profile_Purpose
The purpose of this profile is to be used to express a Consent regarding Healthcare. There are four anticipated uses for the Consent Resource, all of which are written or verbal agreements by a healthcare consumer [grantor] or a personal representative, made to an authorised entity [grantee] concerning authorised or restricted actions with any limitations on purpose of use, and handling instructions to which the authorised entity SHALL comply: Privacy Consent Directive: Agreement to collect, access, use or disclose (share) information. Medical Treatment Consent Directive: Consent to undergo a specific treatment (or record of refusal to consent). Research Consent Directive: Consent to participate in research protocol and information sharing required. Advance Care Directives: Consent to instructions for potentially needed medical treatment (e.g. DNR).

The purpose of this profile is to be used to express a Consent regarding Healthcare. There are four anticipated uses for the Consent Resource, all of which are written or verbal agreements by a healthcare consumer [grantor] or a personal representative, made to an authorised entity [grantee] concerning authorised or restricted actions with any limitations on purpose of use, and handling instructions to which the authorised entity SHALL comply:

Privacy Consent Directive: Agreement to collect, access, use or disclose (share) information.
Medical Treatment Consent Directive: Consent to undergo a specific treatment (or record of refusal to consent).
Research Consent Directive: Consent to participate in research protocol and information sharing required.
Advance Care Directives: Consent to instructions for potentially needed medical treatment (e.g. DNR).

Consent	I		Consent	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element Id Consent Short description A healthcare consumer's choices to permit or deny recipients or roles to perform actions for specific purposes and periods of time Definition A record of a healthcare consumer’s choices, which permits or denies identified recipient(s) or recipient role(s) to perform one or more actions within a given policy context, for specific purposes and periods of time. Comments Broadly, there are 3 key areas of consent for patients: Consent around sharing information (aka Privacy Consent Directive - Authorization to Collect, Use, or Disclose information), consent for specific treatment, or kinds of treatment, and general advance care directives.

Mappings	rim:Entity. Role, or Act workflow:Event v2:CON rim:FinancialConsent
Consent.id
Definition	The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.
Cardinality	0...1
Type	System.String
Summary	True
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.
Consent.meta
Definition	The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.
Cardinality	0...1
Type	Meta
Summary	True
Invariants	ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`
Mappings	rim:n/a rim:N/A
Consent.implicitRules
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. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.
Cardinality	0...1
Type	uri
Modifier	True

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. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

Consent.language
Definition	The base language in which the resource is written.
Cardinality	0...1
Type	code
Binding	A human language. CommonLanguages (preferred)
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).

Consent.text
Definition	A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can 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.

Type	Narrative
Alias	narrative, html, xhtml, display
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 information is added later.

Type	Reference(Device \| Group \| CareTeam \| Organization \| Patient \| Practitioner \| RelatedPerson \| PractitionerRole)
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.
Invariants	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'))`

Cardinality	0...*
Type	Coding
Binding	Security Labels from the Healthcare Privacy and Security Classification System. All Security Labels (extensible)
Summary	True
Comments	If the consent specifies a security label of "R" then it applies to all resources that are labeled "R" or lower. E.g. for Confidentiality, it's a high water mark. For other kinds of security labels, subsumption logic applies. When the purpose of use tag is on the data, access request purpose of use shall not conflict.
Invariants	ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`

Definition	The class of information covered by this rule. The type can be a FHIR resource type, a profile on a type, or a CDA document, or some other type that indicates what sort of information the consent relates to.
Cardinality	0...*
Type	Coding
Binding	The class (type) of information a consent rule covers. ConsentContentClass (extensible)
Summary	True
Comments	Multiple types are or'ed together. The intention of the contentType element is that the codes refer to profiles or document types defined in a standard or an implementation guide somewhere.
Invariants	ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`
Mappings	rim:n/a v2:CE/CNE/CWE subset one of the sets of component 1-3 or 4-6 rim:CV orim:fhir:Coding rdfs:subClassOf dt:CDCoding
Consent.provision.code
Definition	If this code is found in an instance, then the rule applies.
Cardinality	0...*
Type	CodeableConcept
Binding	A code from the SNOMED Clinical Terminology UK coding system that describes a trigger for an exception to a base policy. UKCoreConsentException (preferred)
Summary	True
Comments	Typical use of this is a Document code with class = CDA.
Invariants	ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`
Mappings	rim:n/a v2:CE/CNE/CWE rim:CD orim:fhir:CodeableConcept rdfs:subClassOf dt:CD
Consent.provision.dataPeriod
Definition	Clinical or Operational Relevant period of time that bounds the data controlled by this rule.
Cardinality	0...1
Type	Period
Summary	True
Comments	This has a different sense to the Consent.period - that is when the consent agreement holds. This is the time period of the data that is controlled by the agreement.
Invariants	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"]
Consent.provision.data
Definition	The resources controlled by this rule if specific resources are referenced.
Cardinality	0...*

Definition	Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
Cardinality	0...1
Type	System.String
Mappings	rim:n/a
Consent.provision.data.extension
Definition	May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. 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.
Cardinality	0...*
Type	Extension
Alias	extensions, user content
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.
Slicing	Unordered, Open, by url(Value)
Invariants	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()`
Mappings	rim:n/a rim:N/A
Consent.provision.data.modifierExtension
Definition	May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. 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. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).
Cardinality	0...*
Type	Extension
Modifier	True
Summary	True
Alias	extensions, user content, modifiers
Requirements	Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of 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.
Invariants	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()`

Consent.provision.data.meaning
Definition	How the resource reference is interpreted when testing consent restrictions.
Cardinality	1...1
Type	code
Binding	How a resource reference is interpreted when testing consent restrictions. ConsentDataMeaning (required)
Summary	True
Comments	Note that FHIR strings SHALL NOT exceed 1MB in size
Invariants	ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`
Mappings	rim:n/a
Consent.provision.data.reference
Definition	A reference to a specific resource that defines which resources are covered by this consent.
Cardinality	1...1
Type	Reference(Resource)
Summary	True
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.
Invariants	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'))`
