Artifacts Summary

Contents:

This page provides a list of the FHIR artifacts defined as part of this implementation guide.

Structures: Resource Profiles

These define constraints on FHIR resources for systems conforming to this implementation guide.

Deployment History Episode

Deployment History Episode describes a completed deployment.
Military Occupation

The profile reuses the ODH PastOrPresentJob profile to apply it specifically to military jobs/occupations. The observation resource that conforms to this specification is referenced by Military Service Episode.
Military Service Episode

Military Service Episode describes a patient/veterans overall experiences of a militiary employment. The profile references military deployments and occupations as well as military branche, seperation and discharge status. A patient/Veteran may have zero or more military service episodes. The episode documents the time spent in the military organization, the dischage status and reason, and a collection of deployment episodes
US Veteran

US Veteran profile extends US Core Patient profile. It’s intended to be used when the patient is Veteran was confirmed by the VA. This profile includes a [‘US Veteran Status’] (usveteranstatus) extension to hold status information as a boolean (i.e. ‘true’ indicates that the patient’s veteran status was confirmed).

Structures: Extension Definitions

These define constraints on FHIR data types for systems conforming to this implementation guide.

us-veteran-status

us-veteran-status is a boolean extension used to specify whether a patient was confirmed or verified to have Veteran status. Veteran status is not limited to Combat Status but reflects the status of yes/no they had indeed served in a military organization

Terminology: Value Sets

These define sets of codes used by systems conforming to this implementation guide.

Deployment Episode Type Value Set

Recommended deployment episode type code - only the root concept of ‘Deployment Episode’ is needed for typical implementations.
Combat Episode Mission Value Set

Example combat mission code; this is only an example data element that may be associated with a Deployment Episode, if needed.
Discharge Status Value Set

Discharge Status Value Set - this value set identifies gaps in SNOMED CT. The only concept currently supported is that of ‘dishonorable’ discharge.
Military Branch Value Set

Military Branch Value Set - is a subset of the ODH Occupation value set.
Military Occupation Value Set

Military Occupation Value Set
Pay Grade Code Value Set

Pay Grade Code Value Set - is a subset of the OHD Supervisory Role value set. Its scope is limited to military pay grade codes.
Separation Reason Value Set

Separation Reason Value Set contains concepts that are managed as a local extensions, subject to submission to SNOMED CT.

Terminology: Code Systems

These define new code systems used by systems conforming to this implementation guide.

Military Service History and Status Code System

Military Service History and Status Code System

Example: Example Instances

These are example instances that show what data produced and consumed by systems conforming with this implementation guide might look like.
