This profile sets minimum expectations for searching for and fetching information associated with an organization. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets SHALL be present in the Organization resource when using this profile.

Background & Scope

An organization is a formal or informal grouping of people or organizations with a common purpose, such as a company, institution, corporation, community group, or healthcare practice.

This profile modifies the base Organization resource in the following manner:

• Constrains the cardinality of organization.active (1..1), organization.type (1..), organization.name (1..1), organization.telecom.system (1..1), organization.telecom.value (1..1), organization.contact.name.family (1..1), organization.contact.name.given (1..), organization.contact.telecom.system (1..1), and organization.contact.telecom.value (1..1)

• All references SHALL conform to the appropriate Validated Healthcare Directory Implementation Guide profile

• Adds extensions:

1. Identifier status (1..1) - indicates the status of an organization’s identifier
2. Via intermediary (0..1) - a reference to an alternative point of contact for this organization
3. Available time (0..*) - indicates when an organization is available for contact
4. Geolocation (0..1) - indicates the absolute geographic location of an organization’s address
5. Alias type (0..1) - indicates whether an organization’s alias is a historical name or legal alternative name
6. Alias period (0..1) - indicates a period of time for which an organization used an alias
7. Description (0..1) - a friendly description of the organization
8. Qualification (0..*) - indicates whether the organization has any formal qualifications
9. DigitalCertificate (0..*) - a digital certificate associated with the organization
10. InsurancePlan (0..*) - indicates the health insurance products the organization offers to its employees
11. Restriction (0..*) - indicates whether disclosure of any data associated with an organization is restricted

Examples:

The following are example uses for the vhdir-organization profile:

• Founding Fathers Memorial Hospital

Mandatory Data Elements

The following data-elements are mandatory (i.e data MUST be present). These are presented below in a simple human-readable explanation. The Formal Profile Definition below provides the formal summary, definitions, and terminology requirements.

Each organization must have:

1. A boolean value in organization.active
2. A name in organization.name
3. A type in organization.type
