Definitions for the CareConnect-DocumentReference-1 Profile.
1. DocumentReference | |
Definition | A reference to a document. |
Control | 0..* |
Comments | Usually, this is used for documents other than those defined by FHIR. |
Invariants | Defined on this element 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()) |
2. DocumentReference.id | |
Definition | The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | id |
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. DocumentReference.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. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | Meta |
4. DocumentReference.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. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | uri |
Is 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. 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. DocumentReference.language | |
Definition | The base language in which the resource is written. |
Control | 0..1 |
Binding | A 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 |
Type | code |
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. DocumentReference.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. |
Control | 0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: dom-1 |
Type | Narrative |
Alternate Names | 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 in formation is added later. |
7. DocumentReference.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. |
Control | 0..* |
Type | Resource |
Alternate Names | inline 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. DocumentReference.extension | |
Definition | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. 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. |
Control | 0..* |
Type | Extension |
Alternate Names | 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. |
9. DocumentReference.modifierExtension | |
Definition | 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. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. |
Control | 0..* |
Type | Extension |
Is Modifier | true |
Alternate Names | 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. |
10. DocumentReference.masterIdentifier | |
Definition | Document identifier as assigned by the source of the document. This identifier is specific to this version of the document. This unique identifier may be used elsewhere to identify this version of the document. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | Identifier |
Requirements | The structure and format of this Id shall be consistent with the specification corresponding to the formatCode attribute. (e.g. for a DICOM standard document a 64-character numeric UID, for an HL7 CDA format a serialization of the CDA Document Id extension and root in the form "oid^extension", where OID is a 64 digits max, and the Id is a 16 UTF-8 char max. If the OID is coded without the extension then the '^' character shall not be included.). |
Comments | CDA Document Id extension and root. |
11. DocumentReference.masterIdentifier.id | |
Definition | unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | string |
12. DocumentReference.masterIdentifier.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. |

The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone. |
Slicing | This element introduces a set of slices on DocumentReference.masterIdentifier.extension. The slices are unordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators:
|
13. DocumentReference.masterIdentifier.use | |
Definition | The purpose of this identifier. |
Control | 0..1 |
Binding | Identifies the purpose for this identifier, if known . The codes SHALL be taken from IdentifierUse |
Type | code |
Is Modifier | true |
Requirements | Allows the appropriate identifier for a particular context of use to be selected from among a set of identifiers. |
Comments | This is labeled as "Is Modifier" because applications should not mistake a temporary id for a permanent one. Applications can assume that an identifier is permanent unless it explicitly says that it is temporary. |
14. DocumentReference.masterIdentifier.type | |
Definition | A coded type for the identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose. |
Control | 0..1 |
Binding | A coded type for an identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose. The codes SHALL be taken from Identifier Type Codes; other codes may be used where these codes are not suitable |
Type | CodeableConcept |
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. |
15. DocumentReference.masterIdentifier.system | |
Definition | Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, a URL that describes a set values that are unique. |
Control | 1..1 |
Type | uri |
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. |
Example | General:http://www.acme.com/identifiers/patient |
16. DocumentReference.masterIdentifier.value | |
Definition | The portion of the identifier typically relevant to the user and which is unique within the context of the system. |
Control | 1..1 |
Type | string |
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. |
Example | General:123456 |
17. DocumentReference.masterIdentifier.period | |
Definition | Time period during which identifier is/was valid for use. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | Period |
18. DocumentReference.masterIdentifier.assigner | |
Definition | Organization that issued/manages the identifier. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | Reference(CareConnect-Organization-1) |
Comments | The Identifier.assigner may omit the .reference element and only contain a .display element reflecting the name or other textual information about the assigning organization. |
19. DocumentReference.identifier | |
Definition | Other identifiers associated with the document, including version independent identifiers. |
Note | This is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion) |
Control | 0..* |
Type | Identifier |
20. DocumentReference.identifier.id | |
Definition | unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces. |

Control | 0..1 |
Binding | A coded type for an identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose. The codes SHALL be taken from Identifier Type Codes; other codes may be used where these codes are not suitable |
Type | CodeableConcept |

Definition | Organization that issued/manages the identifier. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | Reference(CareConnect-Organization-1) |
Comments | The Identifier.assigner may omit the .reference element and only contain a .display element reflecting the name or other textual information about the assigning organization. |
28. DocumentReference.status | |
Definition | The status of this document reference. |
Control | 1..1 |
Binding | The status of the document reference. The codes SHALL be taken from DocumentReferenceStatus |
Type | code |
Is Modifier | true |
Comments | This is the status of the DocumentReference object, which might be independent from the docStatus element. This element is labeled as a modifier because the status contains the codes that mark the document or reference as not currently valid. |
29. DocumentReference.docStatus | |
Definition | The status of the underlying document. |
Control | 0..1 |
Binding | Status of the underlying document. The codes SHALL be taken from CompositionStatus |
Type | code |
Comments | The document that is pointed to might be in various lifecycle states. |
30. DocumentReference.type | |
Definition | Specifies the particular kind of document referenced (e.g. History and Physical, Discharge Summary, Progress Note). This usually equates to the purpose of making the document referenced. |
Control | 1..1 |
Binding | SNOMED CT UK document type The codes SHOULD be taken from Care Connect Document Type |
Type | CodeableConcept |
Comments | Key metadata element describing the document, used in searching/filtering. |
31. DocumentReference.type.id | |
Definition | unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | string |

Slicing | This element introduces a set of slices on DocumentReference.type.extension. The slices are unordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators:
|
33. DocumentReference.type.coding | |
Definition | A reference to a code defined by a terminology system. |
Control | 0..* |
Type | Coding |
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. |
34. DocumentReference.type.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. |
Control | 0..1 |

Slicing | This element introduces a set of slices on DocumentReference.type.coding.extension. The slices are unordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators:
|
36. DocumentReference.type.coding.system | |
Definition | The identification of the code system that defines the meaning of the symbol in the code. |
Control | 1..1 |
Type | uri |
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. |
37. DocumentReference.type.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. |
Note | This is a business versionId, not a resource version id (see discussion) |
Control | 0..0 |
Type | string |
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. |
38. DocumentReference.type.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). |
Control | 1..1 |
Type | code |
Requirements | Need to refer to a particular code in the system. |
39. DocumentReference.type.coding.display | |
Definition | A representation of the meaning of the code in the system, following the rules of the system. |
Control | 1..1 |
Type | string |
Requirements | Need to be able to carry a human-readable meaning of the code for readers that do not know the system. |
40. DocumentReference.type.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). |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | boolean |
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. |
41. DocumentReference.type.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. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | string |
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. |
42. DocumentReference.class | |
Definition | A categorization for the type of document referenced - helps for indexing and searching. This may be implied by or derived from the code specified in the DocumentReference.type. |
Control | 0..1 |
Binding | High-level kind of a clinical document at a macro level. For example codes, see Document Class Value Set |
Type | CodeableConcept |
Requirements | Helps humans to assess whether the document is of interest when viewing a list of documents. |
Alternate Names | kind |
Comments | This is a metadata field from XDS/MHD. |
43. DocumentReference.subject | |
Definition | Who or what the document is about. The document can be about a person, (patient or healthcare practitioner), a device (e.g. a machine) or even a group of subjects (such as a document about a herd of farm animals, or a set of patients that share a common exposure). |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | Reference(Group | Device | CareConnect-Practitioner-1 | CareConnect-Patient-1) |
44. DocumentReference.created | |
Definition | When the document was created. Creation/Edit datetime of the document - event date |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | dateTime |
Comments | Creation time is used for tracking, organizing versions and searching. This is the creation time of the document, not the source material on which it is based. |
45. DocumentReference.indexed | |
Definition | When the document reference was created. |
Control | 1..1 |
Type | instant |
Comments | Referencing/indexing time is used for tracking, organizing versions and searching. |
46. DocumentReference.author | |
Definition | Identifies who is responsible for adding the information to the document. |
Control | 0..* |
Type | Reference(Device | CareConnect-RelatedPerson-1 | CareConnect-Practitioner-1 | CareConnect-Patient-1 | CareConnect-Organization-1) |
Comments | Not necessarily who did the actual data entry (i.e. typist) it in or who was the source (informant). |

48. DocumentReference.custodian | |
Definition | Identifies the organization or group who is responsible for ongoing maintenance of and access to the document. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | Reference(CareConnect-Organization-1) |
Comments | Identifies the logical organization to go to find the current version, where to report issues, etc. This is different from the physical location of the document, which is the technical location of the document, which host may be delegated to the management of some other organization. |
49. DocumentReference.relatesTo | |
Definition | Relationships that this document has with other document references that already exist. |
Control | 0..* |
Type | BackboneElement |
Is Modifier | true |
Comments | This element is labeled as a modifier because documents that append to other documents are incomplete on their own. |
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())) |
50. DocumentReference.relatesTo.id | |

53. DocumentReference.relatesTo.code | |
Definition | The type of relationship that this document has with anther document. |
Control | 1..1 |
Binding | The type of relationship between documents. The codes SHALL be taken from DocumentRelationshipType |
Type | code |
Comments | If this document appends another document, then the document cannot be fully understood without also accessing the referenced document. |
54. DocumentReference.relatesTo.target | |
Definition | The target document of this relationship. |
Control | 1..1 |
Type | Reference(CareConnect-DocumentReference-1) |
55. DocumentReference.description | |
Definition | Human-readable description of the source document. This is sometimes known as the "title". |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | string |
Requirements | Helps humans to assess whether the document is of interest. |
Comments | What the document is about, rather than a terse summary of the document. It is commonly the case that records do not have a title and are collectively referred to by the display name of Record code (e.g. a "consultation" or "progress note"). |
56. DocumentReference.securityLabel | |
Definition | A set of Security-Tag codes specifying the level of privacy/security of the Document. Note that DocumentReference.meta.security contains the security labels of the "reference" to the document, while DocumentReference.securityLabel contains a snapshot of the security labels on the document the reference refers to. |
Control | 0..* |
Binding | Security Labels from the Healthcare Privacy and Security Classification System. The codes SHALL be taken from All Security Labels; other codes may be used where these codes are not suitable |
Type | CodeableConcept |
Requirements | Use of the Health Care Privacy/Security Classification (HCS) system of security-tag use is recommended. |
Comments | The confidentiality codes can carry multiple vocabulary items. HL7 has developed an understanding of security and privacy tags that might be desirable in a Document Sharing environment, called HL7 Healthcare Privacy and Security Classification System (HCS). The following specification is recommended but not mandated, as the vocabulary bindings are an administrative domain responsibility. The use of this method is up to the policy domain such as the XDS Affinity Domain or other Trust Domain where all parties including sender and recipients are trusted to appropriately tag and enforce. In the HL7 Healthcare Privacy and Security Classification (HCS) there are code systems specific to Confidentiality, Sensitivity, Integrity, and Handling Caveats. Some values would come from a local vocabulary as they are related to workflow roles and special projects. |
57. DocumentReference.content | |
Definition | The document and format referenced. There may be multiple content element repetitions, each with a different format. |
Control | 1..* |
Type | BackboneElement |

Slicing | This element introduces a set of slices on DocumentReference.context.related.identifier.extension. The slices are unordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators:
|
80. DocumentReference.context.related.identifier.use | |
Definition | The purpose of this identifier. |
Control | 0..1 |
Binding | Identifies the purpose for this identifier, if known . The codes SHALL be taken from IdentifierUse |
Type | code |
Is Modifier | true |
Requirements | Allows the appropriate identifier for a particular context of use to be selected from among a set of identifiers. |
Comments | This is labeled as "Is Modifier" because applications should not mistake a temporary id for a permanent one. Applications can assume that an identifier is permanent unless it explicitly says that it is temporary. |
81. DocumentReference.context.related.identifier.type | |
Definition | A coded type for the identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose. |
Control | 0..1 |
Binding | A coded type for an identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose. The codes SHALL be taken from Identifier Type Codes; other codes may be used where these codes are not suitable |
Type | CodeableConcept |
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. |
82. DocumentReference.context.related.identifier.system | |
Definition | Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, a URL that describes a set values that are unique. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | uri |
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. |
Example | General:http://www.acme.com/identifiers/patient |
83. DocumentReference.context.related.identifier.value | |
Definition | The portion of the identifier typically relevant to the user and which is unique within the context of the system. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | string |
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. |
Example | General:123456 |
84. DocumentReference.context.related.identifier.period | |
Definition | Time period during which identifier is/was valid for use. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | Period |
85. DocumentReference.context.related.identifier.assigner | |
Definition | Organization that issued/manages the identifier. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | Reference(CareConnect-Organization-1) |
Comments | The Identifier.assigner may omit the .reference element and only contain a .display element reflecting the name or other textual information about the assigning organization. |
86. DocumentReference.context.related.ref | |
Definition | Related Resource to this DocumentReference. If both id and ref are present they shall refer to the same thing. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | Reference(Resource) |
Comments | Order, ProcedureRequest, Procedure, EligibilityRequest, etc. |
