Resource Profile: CDex Patient Demographics Profile

This Profile is defined as a contained resource within the CDex Task Attachment Request Profile or CDex Task Data Request Profile. It is referenced when additional patient demographic data is communicated for a clinical data request (such as verifying patient identity for HIPAA compliance regulations). It constrains the following elements to be mandatory (min=1):

• A default resource ID of "patient"
• A member ID identifier slice
• A patient's name

and the following element to be must support (min=0):

• A patient account number identifier slice
• A date of birth

Usage:

• Use this Resource Profile: CDex Task Attachment Request Profile
• Refer to this Resource Profile: CDex Task Attachment Request Profile
