This structure is derived from Patient

Name	Card.	Type	Constraints and Usage
Patient	0..*	Patient	Definition: Demographics and other administrative information about an individual or animal receiving care or other health-related services. Comments: Patient will contain two identifiers. One will represent the creator's local identifier and the second will be the jurisdication health number.
id	1..1	id	Definition: The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Comments: Usage Note: This will usually be a GUID and is assigned by the sending application.
identifier	1..2	Identifier	Slice: Unordered, Open by value:type.coding.code, value:type.coding.system Definition: A business identifier which identifies a patient from a specific site.
identifier (senderPatientIdentifier)	1..1	Shared Health Person Identifier	Definition: A business identifier which identifies a patient from a specific site. Comments: Conformance Rule: The creating system must send a unique value that represents that patient in their system. The same patient identifier value must be sent each time the same patient is sent in an outgoing transaction from that site. The only exception to the above rule is when a patient does not exist in the local system and the creating system is sending an outgoing transaction in response to an incoming transaction where the exact same received patient information is then sent in the outgoing transaction. There are a few scenarios where this may occur, including but not limited to; EMR receives a pharmacy renewal request (p160) for a patient that is not theirs and is responding with a deny response EMR receives a clinical communication (305) for a patient that is not theirs and is replying with a 305 response PMS receives a cancel request (e140) where the patient is not linked and is responding with any of the p14x responses PMS receives a clinical communication (305) for a patient that is not theirs and is replying with a 305 response In all of the above scenarios where a response transaction is sent where the patient does not exist in the local system the sending system must replay the patient data as receive in the incoming transaction which includes sending back the exact same MRN identifier system and value that was received. Usage Note: The MRN identifier can be stored in the receiving system and can be used as part of the automated patient-matching logic. For additional information on the patient-matching logic see the functional specifications.
type	1..1	Shared Health CodeableConcept Code	Binding: SharedIdentifierType (20190415) (extensible) Definition: A concept that may be defined by a formal reference to a terminology or ontology or may be provided by text. Comments: See children for fixed values.
coding	1..1	Coding	Definition: A reference to a code defined by a terminology system. 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 labelled as UserSelected = true.
system	1..1	uri	Fixed Value: http://hl7.org/fhir/v2/0203 Definition: The identification of the code system that defines the meaning of the symbol in the code. Comments: Fixed value: http://hl7.org/fhir/v2/0203
code	1..1	code	Fixed Value: MR 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). Comments: Fixed value: MR
text	0..1	string	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. Comments: Very often the text is the same as a displayName of one of the codings.
system	1..1	uri	senderPatientIdentifier-branch-1: This must be an OID ending in .1 Example' General': http://www.acme.com/identifiers/patient or urn:ietf:rfc:3986 if the Identifier.value itself is a full uri Definition: Establishes the namespace in which set of possible id values is unique. Comments: Conformance Rule: This must be an OID of the URI form [Vendor root].[Application instance node].1 (e.g. urn:oid:1.2.3.4). The branch, “.1” is appended to create a unique namespace for the patient MRN identifier.
value	1..1	string	Example' General': 123456 Example' ???': 123456 Definition: The portion of the identifier typically relevant to the user and which is unique within the context of the system. 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.
identifier (jurisdictionalHealthNumber)	0..1	Shared Health Person Identifier	Definition: A technical identifier - identifies some entity uniquely and unambiguously. Comments: Conformance Rule: This will be the OID representing the jurisdictional health number. Usage Note: If both a federal and provincial health number are available, provide the provincial health number.

text	0..1	string	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. Comments: Very often the text is the same as a displayName of one of the codings.
system	1..1	uri	Binding: SharedPatientJurisdictionalHealthIdentifierType (required) Example' General': http://www.acme.com/identifiers/patient or urn:ietf:rfc:3986 if the Identifier.value itself is a full uri Definition: Establishes the namespace in which set of possible id values is unique.
value	1..1	string	Example' General': 123456 Example' ???': 123456 Definition: The portion of the identifier typically relevant to the user and which is unique within the context of the system. Comments: Conformance Rule: This is the human readable Patient Identifier from the sending system
name	1..3	Shared Health HumanName	Slice: Unordered, Open by value:use Definition: A human's name with the ability to identify parts and usage. Comments: Conformance Rule: There are explicit conformance rules defined in Shared Health HumanName profile.
name (legalName)	1..1	Shared Health HumanName	Definition: A human's name with the ability to identify parts and usage. Comments: This data type is used to support both Practitioner names and Patient names. These name values are used for SAML validation (Practitioner) and eFax generation, and possibly patient matching algorithms. Conformance Rule: For the purpose of presentation, the data elements will be organized as Prefix + Given1 + Given2 + Family + Suffix.
use	1..1	code	Binding: SharedNameUse (20190415) (required) Fixed Value: official Definition: Identifies the purpose for this name. Comments: Fixed value: official
family	1..1	string	Definition: The part of a name that links to the genealogy. In some cultures (e.g. Eritrea) the family name of a son is the first name of his father. Comments: Conformance rule: Family is not to include professional designations
given	1..2	string	Definition: Given name. Comments: Conformance Rule: Given name(s) is not to include profession designations
prefix	0..1	string	Definition: Part of the name that is acquired as a title due to academic, legal, employment or nobility status, etc. and that appears at the start of the name. Comments: Conformance Rule: Prefix or Suffix must be used for Practitioner to represent the appropriate professional designation.
suffix	0..1	string	Definition: Part of the name that is acquired as a title due to academic, legal, employment or nobility status, etc. and that appears at the end of the name. Comments: Conformance Rule: Prefix or Suffix must be used for Practitioner to represent the appropriate professional designation.
telecom	0..*	Shared Health ContactPoint	cpt-2: A system is required if a value is provided. Definition: Details for all kinds of technology mediated contact points for a person or organization, including telephone, email, etc. Comments: Conformance Rule: There are explicit conformance rules defined to format the value. Please refer to Shared Health ContactPoint profile for these details. Conformance Rule: Only a value of 'phone' is supported for PrescribeIT®. The inclusion of email or fax information is prohibited.
gender	1..1	code	Binding: Gender (20190415) (required) Definition: Administrative Gender - the gender that the patient is considered to have for administration and record keeping purposes. Comments: Conformance Rule: Vendors must support a minimum set of codes. The gender may not match the biological sex as determined by genetics, or the individual's preferred identification. Note that for both humans and particularly animals, there are other legitimate possibilities than M and F, though the vast majority of systems and contexts only support M and F. Systems providing decision support or enforcing business rules should ideally do this on the basis of Observations dealing with the specific gender aspect of interest (anatomical, chromosonal, social, etc.) However, because these observations are infrequently recorded, defaulting to the administrative gender is common practice. Where such defaulting occurs, rule enforcement should allow for the variation between administrative and biological, chromosonal and other gender aspects. For example, an alert about a hysterectomy on a male should be handled as a warning or overrideable error, not a hard error.
birthDate	1..1	date	Definition: The date of birth for the individual. Comments: Usage Note: It is expected that the real date of birth is known by the prescriber and pharmacy and that the full date of birth must be submitted.
address	0..1	Shared Health 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. Comments: Conformance Rule: There are explicit conformance rules defined to structure the address values. Please refer to Shared Health Address profile for these details. Conformance Rule: Patient address is optional, however, if it is available in the EMR, it MUST be provided, as complete as possible. Patient address will appear on the eFax.

value	1..1	string	Example' General': 123456 Example' ???': 123456 Definition: The portion of the identifier typically relevant to the user and which is unique within the context of the system. Comments: Conformance Rule: This is the human readable Patient Identifier from the sending system
name	1..3	Shared Health HumanName	Slice: Unordered, Open by value:use Definition: A human's name with the ability to identify parts and usage. Comments: Conformance Rule: There are explicit conformance rules defined in Shared Health HumanName profile.
name (legalName)	1..1	Shared Health HumanName	Definition: A human's name with the ability to identify parts and usage. Comments: This data type is used to support both Practitioner names and Patient names. These name values are used for SAML validation (Practitioner) and eFax generation, and possibly patient matching algorithms. Conformance Rule: For the purpose of presentation, the data elements will be organized as Prefix + Given1 + Given2 + Family + Suffix.
use	1..1	code	Binding: SharedNameUse (20190415) (required) Fixed Value: official Definition: Identifies the purpose for this name. Comments: Fixed value: official
family	1..1	string	Definition: The part of a name that links to the genealogy. In some cultures (e.g. Eritrea) the family name of a son is the first name of his father. Comments: Conformance rule: Family is not to include professional designations
given	1..2	string	Definition: Given name. Comments: Conformance Rule: Given name(s) is not to include profession designations
prefix	0..1	string	Definition: Part of the name that is acquired as a title due to academic, legal, employment or nobility status, etc. and that appears at the start of the name. Comments: Conformance Rule: Prefix or Suffix must be used for Practitioner to represent the appropriate professional designation.
suffix	0..1	string	Definition: Part of the name that is acquired as a title due to academic, legal, employment or nobility status, etc. and that appears at the end of the name. Comments: Conformance Rule: Prefix or Suffix must be used for Practitioner to represent the appropriate professional designation.
telecom	0..*	Shared Health ContactPoint	cpt-2: A system is required if a value is provided. Definition: Details for all kinds of technology mediated contact points for a person or organization, including telephone, email, etc. Comments: Conformance Rule: There are explicit conformance rules defined to format the value. Please refer to Shared Health ContactPoint profile for these details. Conformance Rule: Only a value of 'phone' is supported for PrescribeIT®. The inclusion of email or fax information is prohibited.
gender	1..1	code	Binding: Gender (20190415) (required) Definition: Administrative Gender - the gender that the patient is considered to have for administration and record keeping purposes. Comments: Conformance Rule: Vendors must support a minimum set of codes. The gender may not match the biological sex as determined by genetics, or the individual's preferred identification. Note that for both humans and particularly animals, there are other legitimate possibilities than M and F, though the vast majority of systems and contexts only support M and F. Systems providing decision support or enforcing business rules should ideally do this on the basis of Observations dealing with the specific gender aspect of interest (anatomical, chromosonal, social, etc.) However, because these observations are infrequently recorded, defaulting to the administrative gender is common practice. Where such defaulting occurs, rule enforcement should allow for the variation between administrative and biological, chromosonal and other gender aspects. For example, an alert about a hysterectomy on a male should be handled as a warning or overrideable error, not a hard error.
birthDate	1..1	date	Definition: The date of birth for the individual. Comments: Usage Note: It is expected that the real date of birth is known by the prescriber and pharmacy and that the full date of birth must be submitted.
address	0..1	Shared Health 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. Comments: Conformance Rule: There are explicit conformance rules defined to structure the address values. Please refer to Shared Health Address profile for these details. Conformance Rule: Patient address is optional, however, if it is available in the EMR, it MUST be provided, as complete as possible. Patient address will appear on the eFax.
