Other Profiles

DataDictionary Profile of CodeSystem Resource

The DataDictionary Profile is a Profile of CodeSystem Resource and is used for a code key for variable names in a dataset.

A url is required to provide accessibility for the data dictionary.

RecommendationAction Profile of ActivityDefinition Resource

The RecommendationAction Profile is a Profile of ActivityDefinition Resource and is used for a recommendation from a clinical practice guideline.

A CharacteristicTiming extension named timingRelativeTime provides support for the RelativeTime datatype in FHIR version R6 to be used in FHIR version R5.

RecommendationPlan Profile of PlanDefinition Resource

The RecommendationPlan Profile is a Profile of PlanDefinition Resource and is used for the implementable representation of a recommendation (such as that from a clinical practice guideline). The RecommendationPlan Profile is developed to match the CPGonFHIR related Implementation Guidance.

A CharacteristicTiming extension named timingRelativeTime is available for the PlanDefinition.action element to provide support for the RelativeTime datatype in FHIR version R6 to be used in FHIR version R5.

SoaPlanDefinition Profile of PlanDefinition Resource

The SoaPlanDefinition Profile is a Profile of PlanDefinition Resource and is used for the representation of a schedule of activities that is often includes with a research study protocol. The SoaPlanDefinition Profile is in development related to efforts to support the M11Report Profile.

A CharacteristicTiming extension named timingRelativeTime is available for the PlanDefinition.action element to provide support for the RelativeTime datatype in FHIR version R6 to be used in FHIR version R5.

Profiles of Library Resource

The SearchResults Profile is used to represent search results, such as for a systematic review. The subjectReference element is limited to reference a SearchStrategy Profile.

The SystematicReviewIncludedStudies Profile is used to represent the subset of search results of a systematic review which meet the inclusion criteria. The subjectReference element is limited to reference a SystematicReviewEligibilityCriteria Profile.

The SystematicReviewExcludedStudies Profile is used to represent the subset of search results of a systematic review which did not meet the inclusion criteria. The subjectReference element is limited to reference a SystematicReviewEligibilityCriteria Profile.

Profiles of List Resource

The EvidenceList Profile is used provide a list of Evidence Resources. The EvidenceList Profile is used to represent a group of evidence for the population for an EvidenceSynthesisEvidence using a summary data meta-analysis approach and is referenced from a MetaanalysisStudyGroup. The entry element is repeatable and limited to reference an Evidence Resource.

The NetEffectContributionList Profile is used provide a list of Evidence Resources (NetEffectContribution Profile). The NetEffectContributionList Profile is used to represent a group of evidence for the population for a NetEffectEstimate (Profile of Evidence) using a net effect analysis approach and is referenced from a NetEffectContributions (Profile of Group). The entry element is repeatable and limited to reference a NetEffectContribution Resource.

The OutcomeList Profile is used provide a list of outcomes. The OutcomeList Profile is referenced in the EvidenceReportSubject Profile as a way to define the set of outcomes that an EvidenceReport is about. The entry element is repeatable and limited to reference an OutcomeDefinition Profile or a VariableDefinition Profile.
