Vital Records Death Reporting (VRDR) FHIR Implementation Guide, published by HL7 International / Public Health. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 3.0.0-cibuild built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/HL7/vrdr/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

Death Record Data Dictionary

The following table illustrates the mappings of fields in the Interjurisdictional Exchange (IJE) formats for death to profiles and fields within this FHIR Implementation guide. This information is provided to guide implementers who are transitioning from the familiar IJE to the new FHIR format for this information.

Death Record IJE Mapping

These fields are included in a VRO’s submission of a death record (only input, or non-coded, content).

Coded Content (Cause of Death)

These fields are included in the coded cause of death content sent by NCHS to VROs (including input, or non-coded, content). In total, these are equivalent to the Transax (TRX) content. Although not mapped to IJE, the death record identifier (YYYYJJNNNNNN) also includes death year and death state.

*Coded content is used for compositions from NCHS to VRO, and is not included in Jurisdiction or Provider reports

Coded Content (Demographic)

These fields are included in the coded demographic content sent by NCHS to VROs (including input, or non-coded, content). In total, these are equivalent to the legacy Mortality, Race and Ethnicity (MRE) content. Although not mapped to IJE, the death record identifier (YYYYJJNNNNNN) also includes death year and death state.

*Coded content is used for compositions from NCHS to VRO, and is not included in Jurisdiction or Provider reports
