Business identifiers assigned to this family member history by the performer or other systems which remain constant as the resource is updated and propagates from server to server.

Allows identification of the family member history as it is known by various participating systems and in a way that remains consistent across servers.

This is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion). It is best practice for the identifier to only appear on a single resource instance, however business practices may occasionally dictate that multiple resource instances with the same identifier can exist - possibly even with different resource types. For example, multiple Patient and a Person resource instance might share the same social insurance number.

The URL pointing to a FHIR-defined protocol, guideline, orderset or other definition that is adhered to in whole or in part by this FamilyMemberHistory.

The URL pointing to an externally maintained protocol, guideline, orderset or other definition that is adhered to in whole or in part by this FamilyMemberHistory.

This might be an HTML page, PDF, etc. or could just be a non-resolvable URI identifier.

A code specifying the status of the record of the family history of a specific family member.

This element is labeled as a modifier because the status contains codes that mark the resource as not currently valid.

A code that identifies the status of the family history record.

Describes why the family member's history is not available.

This is a separate element to allow it to have a distinct binding from reasonCode.

Codes describing the reason why a family member's history is not available.

The person who this history concerns.

This is not the family member.

The date (and possibly time) when the family member history was recorded or last updated.

Allows determination of how current the summary is.

This should be captured even if the same as the date on the List aggregating the full family history.

This will either be a name or a description; e.g. "Aunt Susan", "my cousin with the red hair".

Allows greater ease in ensuring the same person is being talked about.

The type of relationship this person has to the patient (father, mother, brother etc.).

The nature of the relationship between the patient and the related person being described in the family member history.

The birth sex of the family member.

Not all relationship codes imply sex and the relative's sex can be relevant for risk assessments.

This element should ideally reflect whether the individual is genetically male or female. However, as reported information based on the knowledge of the patient or reporting friend/relative, there may be situations where the reported sex might not be totally accurate. E.g. 'Aunt Sue' might be XY rather than XX. Questions soliciting this information should be phrased to encourage capture of genetic sex where known. However, systems performing analysis should also allow for the possibility of imprecision with this element.

Codes describing the sex assigned at birth as documented on the birth registration.

If true, indicates that the age value specified is an estimated value.

Clinicians often prefer to specify an estimaged age rather than an age range.

This element is labeled as a modifier because the fact that age is estimated can/should change the results of any algorithm that calculates based on the specified age.

It is unknown whether the age is an estimate or not

Describes why the family member history occurred in coded or textual form, or Indicates a Condition, Observation, AllergyIntolerance, or QuestionnaireResponse that justifies this family member history event.

Textual reasons can be captured using reasonCode.text.

Codes indicating why the family member history was done.

This property allows a non condition-specific note to the made about the related person. Ideally, the note would be in the condition property, but this is not always possible.

The actual condition specified. Could be a coded condition (like MI or Diabetes) or a less specific string like 'cancer' depending on how much is known about the condition and the capabilities of the creating system.

Identification of the Condition or diagnosis.

Indicates what happened following the condition. If the condition resulted in death, deceased date is captured on the relation.

The result of the condition for the patient; e.g. death, permanent disability, temporary disability, etc.

This condition contributed to the cause of death of the related person. If contributedToDeath is not populated, then it is unknown.

An area where general notes can be placed about this specific condition.

The actual procedure specified. Could be a coded procedure or a less specific string depending on how much is known about the procedure and the capabilities of the creating system.

A code to identify a specific procedure.

Indicates what happened following the procedure. If the procedure resulted in death, deceased date is captured on the relation.

The result of the procedure; e.g. death, permanent disability, temporary disability, etc.

This procedure contributed to the cause of death of the related person. If contributedToDeath is not populated, then it is unknown.

An area where general notes can be placed about this specific procedure.
