Logical Model: Advance Directive Existence Observation

Official URL: http://hl7.org/cda/us/ccda/StructureDefinition/AdvanceDirectiveExistenceObservation Version: 4.0.0
Draft as of 2025-10-02 Computable Name: AdvanceDirectiveExistenceObservation
Other Identifiers: urn:ietf:rfc:3986#Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)#urn:hl7ii:2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.22.4.513:2025-05-01

This observation represents a simple observation indicating whether a person has any advance directive documents. When documents are available, a system can nest the needed references to the advance directive documents inside this Advance Directive Existence Observation.

    Constraints

    Id Grade Path(s) Description Expression
    II-1 error Observation.typeId, Observation.entryRelationship.typeId, Observation.referenceRange.typeId An II instance must have either a root or an nullFlavor. root.exists() or nullFlavor.exists()
    no-obs-if-existence-false error Observation If Advance Directive Observation entries are be present, then the observation value must be 'Yes'. (entryRelationship.observation.where(templateId.where(root='2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.22.4.48').count() > 0).count() > 0) implies (value.code = '373066001')
    should-text-ref-value warning Observation SHOULD contain text/reference/@value text.reference.value.exists()
    value-only error Observation.effectiveTime Interval fields SHALL NOT be present (low | high | width | center).empty()
    value-starts-octothorpe error Observation.text.reference If reference/@value is present, it SHALL begin with a '#' and SHALL point to its corresponding narrative value.exists() implies value.startsWith('#')
