5. Organization.meta.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.

TypeExtension
Alternate Namesextensions, user content
Comments

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

6. Organization.meta.versionId
Definition

The version specific identifier, as it appears in the version portion of the URL. This values changes when the resource is created, updated, or deleted.

Control0..1

7. Organization.meta.lastUpdated
Definition

When the resource last changed - e.g. when the version changed.

Control0..1
Typeinstant

15. Organization.meta.tag:version.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.

Max Length0
16. Organization.meta.tag:version.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).

Requirements

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

Max Length0
18. Organization.meta.tag:version.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.

Max Length0
19. Organization.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 as much as possible.

Max Length0
20. Organization.language
Definition

The base language in which the resource is written.

Control0..1
BindingThe codes SHALL be taken from http://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47 A human language.
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).

Max Length0
21. Organization.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.

Max Length0
22. Organization.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.

Must Supporttrue
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.

25. Organization.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.

NoteThis is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion)
Control1..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: org-1
TypeIdentifier
Must Supporttrue
Requirements

Allows for lookup and retrieval of detailed information about a specific service location. Also ensures unique identification of service location and is therefore mandatory.The identifier is mandatory because it is the principal mechanism for uniquely identifying the facility.

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 SERVICELOCATIONENTITY_ID in a response message.

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

31. Organization.address
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.

Control0..20
TypeAddress(Shared Health Address)
Must Supporttrue
Requirements

May need to keep track of the organization's addresses for contacting, billing or reporting requirements.

Comments

In the context of the Provider Registry query, the address will be returned most of the time; however, this is currently optional in the Provider Query Response. As such, vendors MUST populate the Clinic or Pharmacy address from a local data store when the Provider Registry query does not return an address. For eFax generation, as EMRs do not always have full and accurate address, the solution will query our Registry and provide the address information from that source.

Conformance Rule: In the context of Interactions 101, 201, 305, 401, and 903 only one address is to be provided. (cardinality will be re-visited in a future release of the specification).

Conformance Rule: In the context of declaring the Organization address as the sender (MessageHeader.source), Address.state must be included. NOTE: code must align with Binding: CanadianJurisdiction (20170626) (required)

Conformance Rule: In the context of declaring a Patient Canadian address, Address.state must be included, if available. NOTE: code must align with Binding: CanadianJurisdiction (20170626) (required)

35. Organization.partOf.reference
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.

Control0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ref-1
Typestring
Must Supporttrue
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.
