StructureDefinition: CareConnect-Procedure-1 - Detailed Descriptions

Definitions for the CareConnect-Procedure-1 Profile.

1. Procedure
Definition

An action that is or was performed on a patient. This can be a physical intervention like an operation, or less invasive like counseling or hypnotherapy.

Control0..*
InvariantsDefined 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())
pro-1: Reason not done is only permitted if notDone indicator is true (: notDoneReason.empty() or notDone = true)
2. Procedure.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. Procedure.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. Procedure.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. Procedure.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. Procedure.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. Procedure.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. Procedure.extension
Definition

An Extension

Control0..*
TypeExtension
SlicingThis element introduces a set of slices on Procedure.extension. The slices are unordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators:
  • value @ url
9. Procedure.extension:anaestheticIssues
SliceNameanaestheticIssues
Definition

Details of any adverse reaction to any anaesthetic agents.

Control0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
TypeExtension(Extension-CareConnect-AnaestheticIssues-1) (Extension Type: Choice of: CodeableConcept, Reference(CareConnect-Condition-1))
InvariantsDefined on this element
ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count()))
ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (: extension.exists() != value.exists())
10. Procedure.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.

Control0..*
TypeExtension
Is Modifiertrue
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.

11. Procedure.identifier
Definition

This records identifiers associated with this procedure that are defined by business processes and/or used to refer to it when a direct URL reference to the resource itself is not appropriate (e.g. in CDA documents, or in written / printed documentation).

NoteThis is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion)
Control0..*
TypeIdentifier
Requirements

Need to allow connection to a wider workflow.

12. Procedure.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.

Control0..1
Typestring
13. Procedure.identifier.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.

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

The purpose of this identifier.

Control0..1
BindingIdentifies the purpose for this identifier, if known .
The codes SHALL be taken from IdentifierUse
Typecode
Is Modifiertrue
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.

15. Procedure.identifier.type
Definition

A coded type for the identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose.

Control0..1
BindingA 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
TypeCodeableConcept
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.

16. Procedure.identifier.system
Definition

Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, a URL that describes a set values that are unique.

Control1..1
Typeuri
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
17. Procedure.identifier.value
Definition

The portion of the identifier typically relevant to the user and which is unique within the context of the system.

Control1..1
Typestring
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
18. Procedure.identifier.period
Definition

Time period during which identifier is/was valid for use.

Control0..1
TypePeriod
19. Procedure.identifier.assigner
Definition

Organization that issued/manages the identifier.

Control0..1
TypeReference(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.

20. Procedure.definition
Definition

A protocol, guideline, orderset or other definition that was adhered to in whole or in part by this procedure.

Control0..*
TypeReference(PlanDefinition | ActivityDefinition | HealthcareService)
21. Procedure.basedOn
Definition

A reference to a resource that contains details of the request for this procedure.

Control0..*
TypeReference(CarePlan | ProcedureRequest | ReferralRequest)
Alternate Namesfulfills
22. Procedure.partOf
Definition

A larger event of which this particular procedure is a component or step.

Control0..*
TypeReference(MedicationAdministration | CareConnect-Procedure-1 | CareConnect-Observation-1)
Alternate Namescontainer
Comments

The MedicationAdministration has a partOf reference to Procedure, but this is not a circular reference. For a surgical procedure, the anesthesia related medicationAdministration is part of the procedure. For an IV medication administration, the procedure to insert the IV port is part of the medication administration.

23. Procedure.status
Definition

A code specifying the state of the procedure. Generally this will be in-progress or completed state.

Control1..1
BindingA code specifying the state of the procedure.
The codes SHALL be taken from EventStatus
Typecode
Is Modifiertrue
Comments

The unknown code is not to be used to convey other statuses. The unknown code should be used when one of the statuses applies, but the authoring system doesn't know the current state of the procedure.

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

24. Procedure.notDone
Definition

Set this to true if the record is saying that the procedure was NOT performed.

Control0..1
Typeboolean
Is Modifiertrue
Comments

If true, it means the procedure did not occur as described. Typically it would be accompanied by attributes describing the type of activity. It might also be accompanied by body site information or time information (i.e. no procedure was done to the left arm or no procedure was done in this 2-year period). Specifying additional information such as performer, outcome, etc. is generally inappropriate. For example, it's not that useful to say "There was no appendectomy done at 12:03pm June 6th by Dr. Smith with a successful outcome" as it implies that there could have been an appendectomy done at any other time, by any other clinician or with any other outcome.

This element is labeled as a modifier because it indicates that a procedure didn't happen.

Default Valuefalse
25. Procedure.notDoneReason
Definition

A code indicating why the procedure was not performed.

Control0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: pro-1
BindingA code that identifies the reason a procedure was not performed.
For example codes, see Procedure Not Performed Reason (SNOMED-CT)
TypeCodeableConcept
26. Procedure.category
Definition

A code that classifies the procedure for searching, sorting and display purposes (e.g. "Surgical Procedure").

Control0..1
BindingA code that classifies a procedure for searching, sorting and display purposes.
For example codes, see Procedure Category Codes (SNOMED CT)
TypeCodeableConcept
27. Procedure.code
Definition

The specific procedure that is performed. Use text if the exact nature of the procedure cannot be coded (e.g. "Laparoscopic Appendectomy").

Control0..1
BindingA code to identify a specific procedure.
The codes SHOULD be taken from Procedure Codes (SNOMED CT)

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.

35. Procedure.code.coding:snomedCT.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://snomed.info/sct
36. Procedure.code.coding:snomedCT.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.

37. Procedure.code.coding:snomedCT.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).

Control1..1
Typecode
Requirements

Need to refer to a particular code in the system.

38. Procedure.code.coding:snomedCT.display
Definition

A representation of the meaning of the code in the system, following the rules of the system.

Control1..1
Typestring
Requirements

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

39. Procedure.code.coding:snomedCT.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.

40. Procedure.code.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.

41. Procedure.subject
Definition

The person, animal or group on which the procedure was performed.

Control1..1
TypeReference(Group | CareConnect-Patient-1)

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.

68. Procedure.outcome
Definition

The outcome of the procedure - did it resolve reasons for the procedure being performed?

Control0..1
BindingAn outcome of a procedure - whether it was resolved or otherwise.
For example codes, see Procedure Outcome Codes (SNOMED CT)
TypeCodeableConcept
Comments

If outcome contains narrative text only, it can be captured using the CodeableConcept.text.

69. Procedure.report
Definition

This could be a histology result, pathology report, surgical report, etc..

Control0..*
TypeReference(DiagnosticReport)
Comments

There could potentially be multiple reports - e.g. if this was a procedure which took multiple biopsies resulting in a number of anatomical pathology reports.

70. Procedure.complication
Definition

Any complications that occurred during the procedure, or in the immediate post-performance period. These are generally tracked separately from the notes, which will typically describe the procedure itself rather than any 'post procedure' issues.

Control0..*
BindingCodes describing complications that resulted from a procedure.
For example codes, see Condition/Problem/Diagnosis Codes
TypeCodeableConcept
Comments

If complications are only expressed by the narrative text, they can be captured using the CodeableConcept.text.

71. Procedure.complication.id
Definition

72. Procedure.complication.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.

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.

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://snomed.info/sct
79. Procedure.complication.coding:snomedCT.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.

80. Procedure.complication.coding:snomedCT.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).

Control1..1

82. Procedure.complication.coding:snomedCT.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.

83. Procedure.complication.text
