Shared Health Specification and Guide Version 5.0


v5.0 of this specification has been superseded by v5.3. v5.3 is compatible but adds additional features for Quebec.

The version (Bundle.meta.tag:version) that is sent in the message will remain PrescribeIT5.0

NameCard.TypeConstraints and Usage
.  Organization 0..*Shared Health Organization - Baseorg-1: The organization SHALL at least have a name or an id, and possibly more than one
Definition:
A formally or informally recognized grouping of people or organizations formed for the purpose of achieving some form of collective action. Includes companies, institutions, corporations, departments, community groups, healthcare practice groups, etc.

..  id 1..1idDefinition:
The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: This must be the CPRID

..  meta 1..1MetaDefinition:
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.

...  lastUpdated 0..1instantDefinition:
When the resource last changed - e.g. when the version changed.


Comments:
This value is always populated except when the resource is first being created. The server / resource manager sets this value; what a client provides is irrelevant.

...  tag 1..*CodingSlice: Unordered, Open by value:system
Binding: (unbound) (example): Codes that represent various types of tags, commonly workflow-related; e.g. "Needs review by Dr. Jones"


Definition:
Tags applied to this resource. Tags are intended to be used to identify and relate resources to process and workflow, and applications are not required to consider the tags when interpreting the meaning of a resource.


Comments:
The tags can be updated without changing the stated version of the resource. The list of tags is a set. Uniqueness is based the system/code, and version and display are ignored.

....  system 1..1uriFixed Value: https://fhir.infoway-inforoute.ca/CodeSystem/sharedspecificationversion
Definition:
The identification of the code system that defines the meaning of the symbol in the code.


Comments:
Fixed value: https://fhir.infoway-inforoute.ca/CodeSystem/sharedspecificationversion

....  code 1..1codeDefinition:
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).

Definition:

..  extension
     (service)
0..*Entity ServiceDefinition:
Identifies a electronic communication service offered by a service location or practitioner


Comments:
Entity Service is used at this level, when the service registration requires participation at both the Organization level and the Practitioner level. Both levels must be validated to confirm the outcome.



This is returned in the response when the service is determined to be active. It will be absent from the response when the service is no longer active.

..  identifier 1..1IdentifierDefinition:
Unique identifier for a healthcare service location


Comments:
Usage Note: This will convey the Organization ID (Clinic or Pharmacy) as assigned by the Shared Health Provider Registration service. This is known as the CPRID and will be provided to each successfully registered Clinic or Pharmacy and can be stored in the local system.



Conformance Rule: The receiving system must use this field and insert as the"Receiver SERVICE_LOCATION_ENTITY_ID in a response message.



Usage Note: It has a one to one mapping to each SENDING_APPLICATION_INSTANCE_ID. This is also used by the Central Service to discover the application instance ID when routing the response message.hl7 MAPPING: SERVICE_LOCATION_IDENTIFIER

..  type 0..1Shared Health CodeableConcept CodeBinding: SharedOrganizationType (20190415) (required)
Definition:
Describes the basic type or category of the service delivery location


Comments:
Distinguishes clinics from pharmacies. Binding value set. (PROFF - Provider's Office, OUTPHARM - outpatient pharmacy)

..  name 1..1stringMax Length: 100
Definition:
The name assigned to the service location.


Comments:


..  telecom 0..3Shared Health ContactPointcpt-2: A system is required if a value is provided.
org-3: The telecom of an organization can never be of use 'home'
Definition:
The phone numbers and/or email addresses by which a service location may be contacted.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: This is mandatory because the phone number is part of the written presciption.



Usage Note: This is used to specify the public Clinic or Pharmacy telephone number and/or a number of a private office number.

..  address 0..20Shared Health Addressorg-2: An address of an organization can never be of use 'home'
Definition:
An address expressed using postal conventions (as opposed to GPS or other location definition formats). This data type may be used to convey addresses for use in delivering mail as well as for visiting locations and which might not be valid for mail delivery. There are a variety of postal address formats defined around the world.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: There are specific formats defined for string values as well as specific province and country codes to be used. Please refer to Shared Health Address data type profile.



Conformance Rule: Though the cardinality is 1..20, EMR and PMS must only include a single instance of address. Note: In future releases this may change to 1..1 formally.

..  partOf 0..1Reference(Organization)Definition:
The organization of which this organization forms a part.

...  reference 0..1stringDefinition:
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.

...  display 0..1stringDefinition:
Plain text narrative that identifies the resource in addition to the resource reference.


Comments:
Usage Note: If present in the Provider Registry query response, it may be populated here.
