StructureDefinition: ehealth-message - Detailed Descriptions

Definitions for the ehealth-message Profile.

1. Communication
Definition

An occurrence of information being transmitted; e.g. an alert that was sent to a responsible provider, a public health agency was notified about a reportable condition.

Control0..*
InvariantsDefined on this element
com-1: Not Done Reason can only be specified if NotDone is "true" (: notDone or notDoneReason.exists().not())
dom-1: If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT contain any narrative (: contained.text.empty())
dom-2: If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT contain nested Resources (: contained.contained.empty())
dom-3: If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL be referred to from elsewhere in the resource (: contained.where(('#'+id in %resource.descendants().reference).not()).empty())
dom-4: If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a meta.versionId or a meta.lastUpdated (: contained.meta.versionId.empty() and contained.meta.lastUpdated.empty())
message-invariant: Category message invariant (: category.coding.code = 'message' implies (recipient.reference.contains('Patient/') and ( sender.reference.contains('Device/') or contained.ofType(Device).where('#' + id = %resource.sender.reference).empty().not() or extension.where(url = 'http://ehealth.sundhed.dk/fhir/StructureDefinition/ehealth-communication-senderCareTeam').valueReference.exists())) or (( extension.where(url = 'http://ehealth.sundhed.dk/fhir/StructureDefinition/ehealth-communication-recipientCareTeam').valueReference.exists()) and (sender.reference.contains('Patient/') or sender.reference.contains('Device/'))) or (extension.where(url = 'http://ehealth.sundhed.dk/fhir/StructureDefinition/ehealth-communication-recipientCareTeam').valueReference.exists() and extension.where(url = 'http://ehealth.sundhed.dk/fhir/StructureDefinition/ehealth-communication-senderCareTeam').valueReference.exists() ))
nemsms-1: If communication resource is a NemSMS payload cannot exceed 160 (: medium.coding.where(code = 'nemsms').exists() implies payload.contentString.length() <= 160)
note-invariant: Category note invariant (: category.coding.code = 'note' implies (sender.reference = recipient.reference) or (recipient.reference.exists().not() and extension.where(url = 'http://ehealth.sundhed.dk/fhir/StructureDefinition/ehealth-communication-recipientCareTeam').valueReference.exists()))
notification-invariant: Category notification invariant (: category.coding.code = 'notification' implies recipient.reference.contains('Patient/') and ( sender.reference.contains('Practitioner/') or extension.where(url = 'http://ehealth.sundhed.dk/fhir/StructureDefinition/ehealth-communication-senderCareTeam').valueReference.exists()))
2. Communication.id
Definition

The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

Control0..1
Typeid
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.

3. Communication.meta
Definition

The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content may not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

Control0..1
TypeMeta
4. Communication.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.

Control0..1
Typeuri
Is Modifiertrue
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.

This element is labelled as a modifier because the implicit rules may provide additional knowledge about the resource that modifies it's meaning or interpretation.

5. Communication.language
Definition

The base language in which the resource is written.

Control0..1
BindingA human language.
The codes SHALL be taken from Common Languages; other codes may be used where these codes are not suitable
Max Binding: All Languages
Typecode
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).

6. Communication.text
Definition

A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource, and may 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.

Control0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: dom-1
TypeNarrative
Alternate Namesnarrative, 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 in formation is added later.

7. Communication.contained
Definition

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

Control0..*
TypeResource
Alternate Namesinline resources, anonymous resources, contained resources
Comments

This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again.

8. Communication.extension
Definition

An Extension

TypeExtension
SlicingThis element introduces a set of slices on Communication.extension. The slices are unordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators:

Control0..1
Typestring
13. Communication.extension:restrictionCategory.extension
Definition

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. In order 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 is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

Control0..*
TypeExtension
Alternate Namesextensions, 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.

SlicingThis element introduces a set of slices on Communication.extension.extension. The slices are unordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators:
  • value @ url
14. Communication.extension:restrictionCategory.url
Definition

TypeCoding
Requirements

Allows for translations and alternate encodings within a code system. Also supports communication of the same instance to systems requiring different encodings.

Comments

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.

20. Communication.extension:restrictionCategory.value[x]:valueCodeableConcept.text
Definition

A human language representation of the concept as seen/selected/uttered by the user who entered the data and/or which represents the intended meaning of the user.

Control0..1
Typestring
Requirements

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.

Comments

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

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource, and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. In order 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 is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

Comments

This element is labeled as a modifier because the status contains the codes aborted and entered-in-error that mark the communication as not currently valid.

43. Communication.notDone
Definition

If true, indicates that the described communication event did not actually occur.

Control0..1
Typeboolean
Is Modifiertrue
Requirements

Creating a Communication where notDone is true is intended for situations where there's a need for a specific statement in the record about something not being done. If the need is merely to indicate that a request wasn't fulfilled, that should be handled using Task.

Comments

This element is labeled as a modifier because it marks the communication as a communication that did not occur. The more attributes are populated, the more constrained the negated statement is.

44. Communication.notDoneReason
Definition

Describes why the communication event did not occur in coded and/or textual form.

Requirements

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

Comments

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 de-reference to some definition that establish the system clearly and unambiguously.

Fixed Valuehttp://ehealth.sundhed.dk/cs/message-category
53. Communication.category:DkTmCategory.coding.version
Definition

The version of the code system which was used when choosing this code. Note that a well-maintained code system does not need the version reported, because the meaning of codes is consistent across versions. However this cannot consistently be assured. and when the meaning is not guaranteed to be consistent, the version SHOULD be exchanged.

NoteThis is a business versionId, not a resource version id (see discussion)
Control0..1

Comments

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.

Control0..1
Typestring
Requirements

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

56. Communication.category:DkTmCategory.coding.userSelected
Definition

Indicates that this coding was chosen by a user directly - i.e. off a pick list of available items (codes or displays).

Control0..1
Typeboolean
Requirements

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.

Comments

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.

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.

SlicingThis element introduces a set of slices on Communication.medium.extension. The slices are unordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators:

62. Communication.medium:DkTmMedium.coding
Definition

A reference to a code defined by a terminology system

Control0..*
TypeCoding
Requirements

Allows for translations and alternate encodings within a code system. Also supports communication of the same instance to systems requiring different encodings.

Comments

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.

63. Communication.medium:DkTmMedium.coding.id
Definition

unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

65. Communication.medium:DkTmMedium.coding.system
Definition

The identification of the code system that defines the meaning of the symbol in the code.

Control1..1
Typeuri
Requirements

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

Comments

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 de-reference to some definition that establish the system clearly and unambiguously.

Fixed Valuehttp://ehealth.sundhed.dk/cs/message-medium
66. Communication.medium:DkTmMedium.coding.version
Definition

The version of the code system which was used when choosing this code. Note that a well-maintained code system does not need the version reported, because the meaning of codes is consistent across versions. However this cannot consistently be assured. and when the meaning is not guaranteed to be consistent, the version SHOULD be exchanged.

NoteThis is a business versionId, not a resource version id (see discussion)
Control0..1
Typestring
Comments

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.

67. Communication.medium:DkTmMedium.coding.code
Definition

A symbol in syntax defined by the system. The symbol may be a predefined code or an expression in a syntax defined by the coding system (e.g. post-coordination).

Control0..1
Typestring
Requirements

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

69. Communication.medium:DkTmMedium.coding.userSelected
Definition

Indicates that this coding was chosen by a user directly - i.e. off a pick list of available items (codes or displays).

Control0..1
Typeboolean
Requirements

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.

Comments

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.

70. Communication.medium:DkTmMedium.text
Definition

A human language representation of the concept as seen/selected/uttered by the user who entered the data and/or which represents the intended meaning of the user.

Control0..1
Typestring
Requirements

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.

Comments

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