Artifacts Summary

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

Behavior: Capability Statements

The following artifacts define the specific capabilities that different types of systems are expected to have in order to comply with this implementation guide. Systems conforming to this implementation guide are expected to declare conformance to one or more of the following capability statements.

PADI CapabilityStatement

This Section describes the expected capabilities of the PACIO Advance Directive Interoperability (ADI) Server actor which is responsible for providing responses to the queries submitted by the ADI Requestors.

There are two primary vehicles in which Advance Directive Information can be conveyed: DocumentReference and Bundle. Through a DocumentReference, the ADI may be encoded inside directly as content data or referred to through a content reference (pointing to the ADI included in a resource like Binary) or reference a Bundle with the type=document for FHIR encoded data. The resources referred to by the Composition in the document bundle include Patient, Observation,Goal, ServiceRequest, Organization, RelatedPerson, Consent, List, and Provenance.

Structures: Abstract Profiles

These are profiles on resources or data types that describe patterns used by other profiles, but cannot be instantiated directly. I.e. instances can conform to profiles based on these abstract profiles, but do not declare conformance to the abstract profiles themselves.

ADI Goal

This profile defines the base requirements for all ADI Goals.

PACIO ADI Header

This abstract profile defines constraints that represent common administrative and demographic concepts for advance directives information used in US Realm clinical documents.

Structures: Resource Profiles

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

ADI Autopsy Observation

This profile is used to represent the author’s thoughts about autopsy.

ADI Care Experience Preference

Care Experience Preference is a clinical statement that presents the author’s personal thoughts about something he or she feels is relevant to his or her care experience and may be pertinent when planning his or her care.

PACIO ADI Document Reference

This profile defines constraints that represent the information needed to register an advance directive information document on a FHIR server.

ADI Documentation Observation

This profile is used to indicate if additional advance directive documents, such as physician order for life sustaining treatment (MOLST or POLST) or Do Not Resuscitate Order (DNR) exist and a reference to the document.

ADI Organ Donation

This profile is used to represent the author’s thoughts about organ donation.

ADI Personal Advance Care Plan Composition

This profile encompasses information that makes up the author’s advance care information plan.

ADI Participant

This profile represents a person participating in a persons advance directives in some capacity such as healthcare agent or healthcare agent advisor.

ADI Participant Consent

This profile is used to represent a consent for an advance directive participant such as a healthcare agent or advisor and power or limitation granted to such persons.

ADI Personal Goal

This profile is a statement that presents the author’s personal health and treatment goals that are pertinent when planning his or her care.

Personal Intervention Preference

This profile is used to represent a personal preference for a type of medical intervention (treatment) request under certain conditions.

ADI Personal Priorities Organizer

Personal Priorities Organizer is used to represent a set of personal goals, preferences or care experiences in a preferred ranked order.

ADI Preference Care Plan

The Preference Care Plan is a means for an individual to express their goals and preferences under certain circumstances that may be pertinent when planning his or her care.

PACIO ADI Provenance

Advance Directive Interoperability Provenance based on US Core to capture, search and fetch provenance information associated with advance directive interoperability data.

Structures: Extension Definitions

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

Attestation Information

The Attestation Information Extension allows for the capture of information relevant to the attestation.

Authorization

The Advance Directive Information Authorization Extension contains the ADI Consent profile which represents information about a patient’s consents.

Clause

A clause or set of clauses relevant to the resource or element being extended

Contextual Value

The Contextual Value Extension represents one or more values with a singular context.

Data Enterer

Data Enterer Extension represents the person who transferred the content, written or dictated, into the Advance Directive document. To clarify, an author provides the content, subject to their own interpretation; a dataEnterer adds an author’s information to the electronic system.

Effective Date

The Advance Directive document effective dates.

Goal Order by Descending Priority

Indicates if the goals are ordered in descending priority (Y) or no specific order (N).

Informant

The Advance Directive Information Informant Extension describes an information source for any content within the Advance Directive document. This informant is constrained for use when the source of information is an assigned health care provider for the patient.

Information Recipient

The Information Recipient Extension records the intended recipient of the advance directive information at the time the document was created.

Jurisdiction

Jurisdiction for which content is applicable.

Order

The Advance Directive Information Order Extension represents orders that are fulfilled by this document such as a radiologists report of an x-ray.

Participant

The Advance Directive Information Participant Extension identifies supporting entities, including parents, relatives, caregivers, insurance policyholders, guarantors, and others related in some way to the patient. A supporting person or organization is an individual or an organization with a relationship to the patient. A supporting person who is playing multiple roles would be recorded in multiple participants (e.g., emergency contact and next-of-kin).

Informant

The Advance Directive Information Performer Extension represents clinicians who actually and principally carry out the clinical services being documented. In a transfer of care this represents the healthcare providers involved in the current or pertinent historical care of the patient. Preferably, the patients key healthcare care team members would be listed, particularly their primary physician and any active consulting physicians, therapists, and counselors.

Version Number

Advance Directive Information VersionNumber Extension represents a numeric value used to version successive replacement documents.
