NameCard.TypeConstraints and Usage
.  Patient 0..*PatientDefinition:
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..1idDefinition:
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.

Definition:
A business identifier which identifies a patient from a specific site.

..  identifier
     (senderPatientIdentifier)
1..1Shared Health Person IdentifierDefinition:
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.

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.

Given name.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: Given name(s) is not to include profession designations

...  prefix 0..1stringDefinition:
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..1stringDefinition:
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:
Usage Note: Suffix can be used to represent the appropriate professional designation (i.e. PhD, etc.) or to represent generational suffixes (i.e. Jr, Sr, IV, etc.).



Conformance Rule: When EMRs are sending prescriptions including approve, approve with changes renewal responses, or discontinue orders for Quebec nurses with prescribing authority, this field must be populated with the RAMQ nurse prescriber number as per the regulatory requirements. When providing this information it should be provided with the RAMQ# label name and the RAMQ number (i.e. RAMQ #12345678).

..  telecom 0..*Shared Health ContactPointcpt-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..1codeBinding: 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..1dateDefinition:
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..1Shared Health AddressDefinition:
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.

1..1Shared Health HumanNameDefinition:
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..1codeBinding: SharedNameUse (20190415) (required)
Fixed Value: official
Definition:
Identifies the purpose for this name.

...  family 1..1stringDefinition:
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..2stringDefinition:
Given name.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: Given name(s) is not to include profession designations

...  prefix 0..1stringDefinition:
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..1stringDefinition:
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:
Usage Note: Suffix can be used to represent the appropriate professional designation (i.e. PhD, etc.) or to represent generational suffixes (i.e. Jr, Sr, IV, etc.).



Conformance Rule: When EMRs are sending prescriptions including approve, approve with changes renewal responses, or discontinue orders for Quebec nurses with prescribing authority, this field must be populated with the RAMQ nurse prescriber number as per the regulatory requirements. When providing this information it should be provided with the RAMQ# label name and the RAMQ number (i.e. RAMQ #12345678).

..  telecom 0..*Shared Health ContactPointcpt-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..1codeBinding: 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..1dateDefinition:
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..1Shared Health AddressDefinition:
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.
