6.0.2 - release
eHealth Infrastructure, published by Den telemedicinske infrastruktur (eHealth Infrastructure). This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 6.0.2 built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/fut-infrastructure/implementation-guide/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions
| Official URL: http://ehealth.sundhed.dk/fhir/StructureDefinition/ehealth-material-communication | Version: 6.0.2 | |||
| Active as of 2025-10-30 | Computable Name: ehealth-material-communication | |||
The FHIR resource Communication is a record of a communication. A communication is a conveyance of information from one entity, a sender, to another entity, a receiver.
This profile, the ehealth-material-communication, is intended for assigning Material for Citizens referenced by a DocumentReference to a Patient and EpisodeOfCare. See the Material for Citizens section in the eHealth DocumentReference profile.
In the eHealth infrastructure, the assignment is done by creating a Communication resource with the following characteristics:
Communication.subject → The patient to whom the material is assigned.
DocumentReference.subject.Communication.episodeOfCare → The episode of care to which the material is assigned.
DocumentReference.context.encounter.Communication.recipient → The patient to whom the material is assigned.
Communication.payload → The DocumentReference for the material being assigned.
Communication.participant → The assigner of the material.
Communication.sent → Time of assignment.Communication.period → Time period during which the material is available to the patient.Communication.category → The category of the communication.
material-assignment.Communication.status → The status of the assignment. The value in-progress reflects an active assignment while completed reflects an assignment that has been active but is done.After creation in the infrastructure several fields in the ehealth-material-communication are immutable as updating them could significantly impact the validity of the assignment.
Communication.subjectCommunication.recipientCommunication.episodeOfCareCommunication.categoryIn scope of the eHealth infrastructure, FHIR Communication is also used in the profiles ehealth-message, used for capturing written communication in the form of messages, notifications, advises and personal notes, and ehealth-communication, used for annotating a specific submitted measurement.
The ehealth-material-communication differs in that it is solely used for representing the assignment of Material for Citizens to a Patient and EpisodeOfCare. Indicating that the patient has access to a given piece of material. It is not intended for relaying any advice, message, notes or annotations.
