Resource Profile: Birth Record Identifier Infant

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/vrdr/StructureDefinition/vrdr-birth-record-identifier Version: 3.0.0-cibuild
Draft as of 2024-04-08 Computable Name: BirthRecordIdentifier
Other Identifiers: OID:2.16.840.1.113883.4.642.40.10.42.13

Birth Record Identifier Infant (Observation). This includes the record identifier, the jurisdiction, and the birth year. Subject is constrained to Decedent (infant) to allow decedent linkage to birth record. For maternal death cases, see BirthRecordIdentifierChild and FetalDeathRecordIdentifier.

The BirthRecordIdentifier captures the key identifiers for the Decedent’s birth record. It is relevant only in the case where the birth took place in a recognized jurisdiction.
