NDH Base InsurancePlan Profile

An InsurancePlan is a discrete package of health insurance coverage benefits that are offered under a particular network type. A given payer’s products typically differ by network type and/or covered benefits. A plan pairs a product’s covered benefits with the particular cost sharing structure offered to a consumer. A given product may comprise multiple plans (i.e. each plan offers different cost sharing requirements for the same set of covered benefits). InsurancePlan describes a health insurance offering comprised of a list of covered benefits (i.e. the product), costs associated with those benefits (i.e. the plan), and additional information about the offering, such as who it is owned and administered by, a coverage area, contact information, etc.

NDH Base Location Profile

A Location is the physical place where healthcare services are provided, practitioners are employed, organizations are based, etc. Locations can range in scope from a room in a building to a geographic region/area.

NDH Base Network Profile

A Network refers to a healthcare provider insurance network. A healthcare provider insurance network is an aggregation of organizations and individuals that deliver a set of services across a geography through health insurance products/plans.

The absence of a Practitioner resource does not imply that the Organization itself is playing the role of a Practitioner, instead it implies that role has been established by the Organization and MAY apply that to a specific Practitioner.

This extension is designed to store information about servers that may be associated with the current endpoint. It defines a set of servers that could be linked to this endpoint. If a server is associated, the server’s type and URL will be included. For example, if your system features two types of endpoints: a standard endpoint and a proxy endpoint associated with the server. For example, the proxy endpoint can be configured to interface with AEGIS software, allowing the software to record transactions and ensure compliance with pertinent standards or regulations. Implementing such a configuration in a production environment would offer the flexibility to switch between standard and proxy modes (associated server) as necessary. Consequently, it is essential to have both standard and proxy endpoints readily available for seamless transitions as required.

This extension is designed to store information about the type of public certificate, the public certificate itself, and the expiration date of the certificate. Public certificates, issued by Certificate Authorities, are intended for sharing and inspection by others as part of the trust and verification process in digital communications. Each certificate includes an expiration date, which is a crucial piece of information easily accessible to anyone examining the certificate. The expiration date plays a significant role in validating the certificate’s current validity and in maintaining security within digital communications. This extension should be used when the standard for exchange requires the discovery of the public key.

NDH Supported IG

NDH Trust Framework

A trust framework typically requires the use of signed artifacts and public certificates to ensure security, integrity, and trust in digital communications and transactions. For trust frameworks that use private PKI there is no need to use this extension unless the goals is to provide access to endpoints via the endpoint reference on any of the relevant resources (e.g., careteam, healthcareService).

NDH Usage Restriction

The FHIR specification contains a security meta tag which can be used to inform systems of the sensitivity of resources, as well as by access control mechanisms to ensure content isn’t exposed that shouldn’t be. This mechanism only goes to the resource level, this reference to a usage-restriction (consent) extends this further into the resource, and can be applied to any element, and may apply to all properties beneath the element (e.g. If applied to an identifier on a practitioner, then all the properties of the identifier should not be exposed unless it is understood) This will be expected to be used as a modifier extension.
