Implementierungsleitfaden ISiK-Basismodul Stufe 2

Kontakt/Fall (Encounter)

Motivation

Informationen über die Besuche des Patienten entlang seines Behandlungspfades im Krankenhaus sind ein wichtiger Bestandteil des einrichtungsinternen Datenaustausches. Sie ermöglichen die Unterscheidung von stationären und ambulanten sowie aufgenommenen und entlassenen Patienten. Weiterhin ist aus den Besuchsinformationen der aktuelle Aufenthaltsort des Patienten (Fachabteilung, Station, Bettplatz) ermittelbar. Klinische Ressourcen werden in FHIR durch Verlinkung auf die Encounter-Ressource in einen Kontext zum Besuch gestellt. Dieser Kontext ist wichtig für die Steuerung von Zugriffsberechtigungen und Abrechnungsprozessen.

Zu Beginn der meisten klinischen Workflows steht die Auswahl des Besuchskontextes. Dies geschieht bspw. durch das Suchen der Encounter-Ressource anhand von Eigenschaften wie Aufnahmenummer, Fallart oder Aufnahmedatum. Daraufhin werden die zutreffenden Suchergebnisse angezeigt und der gewünschte Besuch ausgewählt.

Der Begriff "Fall" im Kontext von FHIR

Wichtig ist die Herausstellung, dass "Besuch" und "Fall" wechselseitig keine synonyme Begriffe sind.

Der Begriff "Fall" gruppiert im Sprachgebrauch verschiedene Konzepte, die in FHIR durch unterschiedliche Ressourcen repräsentiert werden:

Aufenthalt/Besuch/Kontakt (Encounter): Der stationäre Aufenthalt oder der ambulante Kontakt eines Patienten in einer Gesundheitseinrichtung wird in FHIR durch die Ressource Encounter abgebildet.
Abrechnungsfall (Account): Der Fall, im Sinne einer Gruppierung von medizinischen Leistungen, die in einem gemeinsamen Kontext abgerechnet werden, sind in FHIR durch die Ressource Account repräsentiert. Ein Abrechnungsfall kann mehrere Encounter umfassen (z.B. vorstationärer Besuch, stationärer Aufenthalt und nachstationäre Besuche)
Medizinischer Fall (EpisodeOfCare): Der medizinische Fall gruppiert Informationen, die im Kontext einer gemeinsamen (Dauer-)Diagnose stehen und wird in FHIR durch die EpisodeOfCare dargestellt.

Der Begriff "Fall" im Kontext der Medizininformatik-Initiative

In dem von der Medizininformatik-Initiative zur Kontaktverfolgung (Infektionsketten) des Patienten entworfenen Modell wird der Encounter in drei verschiedenen Ebenen verwendet:

Einrichtungskontakt: Als Kontakt eines Patienten mit einer Einrichtung (z.B: Klinik) gruppiert mehrere Besuche bei einer Einrichtung als gemeinsamen Behandlungskontext.
Abteilungskontakt: Als Kontakt des Patienten mit einer Fachabteilung eines Krankenhauses (z.B. einer Ambulanz oder einer stationären Fachabteilung).
Versorgungsstellenkontakt: Als Kontakt des Patienten mit konkreten Servicestellen, wie z.B. Radiologie oder Endoskopie

Zur Unterscheidung der verschiedenen Kontaktebenen wird in der MI-I eine Codierung in Encounter.type verwendet. Die Hierarchie der Encounter wird über die Encounter.partOf-Relation hergestellt. Ambulante Besuche werden in dem Modell derzeit noch nicht berücksichtigt.

Encounter-Modell-MII

Der Begriff "Fall" im Kontext der ISiK-Spezifikation

Für die Ausbaustufe 2 des ISiK Basismoduls werden alle zuvor genannten Sichtweise und Modelle berücksichtigt:

Encounter-Modelle

Verpflichtend umzusetzen ist für die bestätigungsrelevanten Systeme der Account, im Sinne der Gruppierung einzelner Besuche, zu einem gemeinsamen (Abrechnungs-)Fall sowie der Encounter der Ebene "Abteilungskontakt" im Sinne des Modells der Medizininformatikinitiative.

Herstellern steht es frei, weitere Ressourcen, wie zum Beispiel die EpisodeOfCare oder den Encounter, im Sinne des Einrichtungskontaktes bzw. des Versorgungststellenkontaktes, zu implementieren.

Wichtig sind dabei jedoch folgende Punkte zu beachten:

Encounter im ISiK-Kontext sind stets als "Abteilungskontakte, im Sinne der MI-I mit dem entsprechenden Encounter.type-Code, zu kennzeichnen.
jegliche im ISiK-Basis-Modul, als auch in anderen ISiK-Modulen definierte Ressourcen, die über einen Encounter-Kontext verfügen, müssen auf einen ISiK-Encounter (Abteilungskontakt) referenzieren.

Die Repräsentation der "Fall"-Nummer

Die "Fall"-Nummer ist ein im Kontext der stationären Versorgung häufig verwendetes Vehikel, um (insbesondere in der HL7-V2-Kommunikation) mit einfachen Mitteln den Fallkontext medizinischer Dokumentationen herzustellen.

In den meisten Fällen handelt es sich bei der "Fall"-Nummer um einen eindeutigen Identifier des Abrechnungsfalls. Im ISiK-Kontext ist die Fallnummer daher als Identifier des Accounts zu sehen und nicht geeignet, einen Encounter eindeutig zu identifizieren und damit den für FHIR-Ressourcen erforderlichen Encounter-Kontext zu etablieren. Es müssen zusätzliche Kriterien, wie z.B. Zeitraum(Encounter.period), Fallart (Encounter.class) oder Status (Encounter.status) berücksichtigt werden, um den korrekten Encounter zu finden.

ISiK berücksichtigt jedoch die gängige Praxis, dass die Fallnummer als primäres Suchkriterium verwendet wird; auch von Systemen, die rein der medizinischen Versorgung dienen und keine Abrechnungsfunktionen implementieren. Um insbesondere Subsysteme von der Pflicht zu entbinden, die Account-Ressource zu implementieren, nur um Zugriff zur Fallnummer zu bekommen, ist das Mitführen des Account-Identifiers als logische Referenz auf den Account im Encounter verpflichtend. Die Fallnummer eines Encounters kann daher auch ohne Kenntnis des Accounts ermittelt werden.

Hinweis	Änderung gegenüber ISiK-Basis-Modul Stufe 1!
	Die Abbildung der Fallnummer als Identifier des Accounts ist abweichend von der im Basismodul Stufe 1 festgelegten Abbildung der Fallnummer als Identifier des Encounters. Diese Änderung ist erforderlich, da die Fallnummer nicht geeignet ist, einen Encounter eindeutig zu identifizieren. Der Encounter kann weiterhin einen von der Abrechnungsfallnummer unabhänigen Identifier enthalten (z.B. "Aufnahmenummer", Bewegungsnummer). Dieser identifiziert eineindeutig den jeweiligen Kontakt.

Once assigned, this value never changes. 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. Data type string
meta	Σ	0..1	Meta	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.meta Short description Metadata about the resource 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. Data type Meta Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a rim: N/A
implicitRules	Σ ?!	0..1	uri	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.implicitRules Short description A set of rules under which this content was created 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. 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. Data type uri Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a

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).

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. 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.

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.

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 is allowed to 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). 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.

reference	S Σ I	1..1	string	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.subject.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 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.

identifier	Σ	0..1	Identifier	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.subject.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).

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). 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.

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.

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.

identifier	Σ	0..1	Identifier	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.diagnosis.condition.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).

The type is the Canonical URL of Resource Definition that is the type this reference refers to.

identifier	S Σ	1..1	Identifier	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.location:Zimmer.location.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).

If the participant is no longer at the location, then the period will have an end date/time. Comments When the patient is no longer active at a location, then the period end date is entered, and the status may be changed to completed. Data type code Binding The status of the location.

physicalType	S	1..1	CodeableConceptPattern	Element id Encounter.location:Station.physicalType Short description The physical type of the location (usually the level in the location hierachy - bed room ward etc.) Definition This will be used to specify the required levels (bed/ward/room/etc.) desired to be recorded to simplify either messaging or query. Comments This information is de-normalized from the Location resource to support the easier understanding of the encounter resource and processing in messaging or query. There may be many levels in the hierachy, and this may only pic specific levels that are required for a specific usage scenario. Data type CodeableConcept Binding Physical form of the location. LocationType (example) Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Pattern { "coding": [ { "system": "http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/location-physical-type", "code": "wa" } ] } Mappings rim: n/a v2: CE/CNE/CWE rim: CD orim: fhir:CodeableConcept rdfs:subClassOf dt:CD
period	I	0..1	Period	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.location:Station.period Short description Time period during which the patient was present at the location Definition Time period during which the patient was present at the location. 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"] rim: .time
serviceProvider	S I	0..1	Reference(Organization)	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.serviceProvider Short description The organization (facility) responsible for this encounter Definition The organization that is primarily responsible for this Encounter's services. This MAY be the same as the organization on the Patient record, however it could be different, such as if the actor performing the services was from an external organization (which may be billed seperately) for an external consultation. Refer to the example bundle showing an abbreviated set of Encounters for a colonoscopy. 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(Organization) 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) workflow: Event.performer.actor v2: PL.6 & PL.1 rim: .particiaption[typeCode=PFM].role
id		0..1	string	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.serviceProvider.id Short description Unique id for inter-element referencing Definition Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces. Data type string Mappings rim: n/a
extension	I	0..*	Extension	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.serviceProvider.extension Short description Additional content defined by implementations Alternate names extensions, user content 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. 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. Data type Extension Sliced: Unordered, Open, by url(Value) Extensions are always sliced by (at least) url Constraints 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
reference	Σ I	0..1	string	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.serviceProvider.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. Data type string Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a rim: N/A
type	Σ	0..1	uriBinding	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.serviceProvider.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). ResourceType (extensible) Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a rim: N/A
identifier	S Σ	1..1	Identifier	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.serviceProvider.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). Data type Identifier Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a v2: CX / EI (occasionally, more often EI maps to a resource id or a URL) rim: II - The Identifier class is a little looser than the v3 type II because it allows URIs as well as registered OIDs or GUIDs.

display	S Σ	1..1	string	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.serviceProvider.display Short description Text alternative for the resource Definition Plain text narrative that identifies the resource in addition to the resource reference. Comments This is generally not the same as the Resource.text of the referenced resource. The purpose is to identify what's being referenced, not to fully describe it. Data type string Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a rim: N/A
partOf	I	0..1	Reference(Encounter)	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.partOf Short description Another Encounter this encounter is part of Definition Another Encounter of which this encounter is a part of (administratively or in time). Comments This is also used for associating a child's encounter back to the mother's encounter. Refer to the Notes section in the Patient resource for further details. Data type Reference(Encounter) 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) workflow: Event.partOf rim: .inboundRelationship[typeCode=COMP].source[classCode=COMP, moodCode=EVN]
