Obligations

Overview

Obligations are a mean offered by HL7 FHIR to specify functional capabilities that defined actors MAY, SHOULD or SHALL to the data elements specified by the profiles.

For the purposes of this EMS Report standard, we define only a single target conformance level – L3. The levels listed below describe the general methodology used for categorizing clinical documents; however, within this specification, only Level L3 is required:

L1 – Unstructured document Only the essential document metadata and a human-readable PDF document are provided.

L2 – Structured document with textual sections The document is divided into clearly identifiable sections (e.g., initial assessment, anamnesis, risk factors, medication, recommendations, etc.), but all content is still provided solely as unformalized free text.

L3 – Structured and partially formalized document (The level required by this standard) The document is divided into identifiable sections as in Level L2; however, selected information is represented in a formalized and coded manner, and additional data MAY be formalized. This is the mandatory conformance level for the EMS Report.

This page describes also the actors that have been defined for specifying the obligations.
