This profile sets minimum expectations for searching for and fetching information associated with validation. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets SHALL be present in the VerificationResult resource when using this profile.

Background & Scope

This implementation guide was developed to support the need for validated provider data in many different healthcare workflows. It profiles the verificationResult resource to convey information about the validation status of any data in a validated healthcare directory, including how it was validated, who validated it, and where the data came from.

This profile modifies the base VerificationResult resource in the following manner:

• Constrains the cardinality of VerificationResult.target (1..), verificationResult.need (1..1), verificationResult.statusDate (1..1), verificationResult.validationType (1..1), verificationResult.validationProcess (1..), verificationResult.failureAction (1..1), verificationResult.primarySource.type (1..*), verificationResult.attestation.communicatonMethod (1..1), verificationResult.attestation.date (1..1)

• All references SHALL conform to the appropriate Validated Healthcare Directory Implementation Guide profile

Examples:

The following are example uses for the vhdir-validation profile:

• Validation of a practitioner’s medical license

Mandatory Data Elements

The following data-elements are mandatory (i.e data MUST be present). These are presented below in a simple human-readable explanation. The Formal Profile Definition below provides the formal summary, definitions, and terminology requirements.

Each VerificationResult resource must have:

1. At least one target in verificationResult.target
2. A coded representation of how often the target is validated in verificationResult.need
3. A coded representation of the target’s current validation status in verificationResult.status
4. A date/time when the target’s validation status was last updated in verificationResult.statusDate
5. A coded representation of whether the target is validated against a primary source(s) in verificationResult.validationType
6. At least one coded/text representation of the process by which the target was validated in verificationResult.validationProcess
7. A coded representation of what happens if validation of the target fails in verificationResult.failureAction
8. For each primary source described:
   1. At least one coded/text representation of the type of primary source in verificationResult.primarySource.type
9. Information about the source of the attested information in VerificationResult.attestation, including a reference to a Practitioner, PractitionerRole, or Organization resource representing the source of the information in VerificationResult.attestation.who
10. For each validator described:
    1. One reference to the Organization resource for the validator in verificationResult.validator.organization

Profile specific implementation guidance:

The core of the verificationResult resource includes basic information about how data was validated:

• verificationResult.target and verificationResult.targetLocation provide a means to describe the specific data that has been validated. The target is a reference to any resource, and the targetLocation is a FHIRpath expression indicating which specific element(s) in that resource have been validated.
• verificationResult.need and verificationResult.frequency describe when the target should be validated, and how often it must be revalidated
• verificationResult.status describes the current status of validation for the target. verificationResult.statusDate indicates when the validation status was last updated.
• verificationResult.validationType describes what the target is validated against (i.e. whether it is validated against a single primary source, whether it is validated against multiple sources, or whether it wasn’t validated because attested information is sufficient)
• verificationResult.validationProcess describes the validation processes for validating the target
• verificationResult.lastPerformed and verificationResult.nextScheduled describe the last completed and next scheduled dates of validation for the target
• verificationResult.failureAction describes what happens if validation of the target fails

The resource also provides information about entities involved in the validation process:

verificationResult.primarySource provides information about the primary source(s) the target was validated against

• who identifies the primary source, and type indicates what the primary source is
• communicationMethod indicates how an entity can communicate with the primary source
• validationStatus, and validationDate describe the status of the validation of the target against the primary source
• canPushUpdates and pushTypeAvailable indicate whether a primary source can push updates or alerts (e.g. alerting the validated healthcare directory if a license board suspends a practitioner’s license)

verificationResult.attestation provides information about who attested to the information being validated

• who identifies the source of the attested information (a practitioner, practitionerRole, or organization), onBehalfOf identifies an entity the “who” is attesting on behalf of.
• communicationMethod indicates how attested information is submitted/retrieved
• date indicates when the information was attested to
• sourceIdentityCertificate and proxyIdentityCertificate assert the identity of the individual attesting to information and any proxy providing attested information on their behalf.
• sourceSignature and proxySignature assert that information was attested to/provided by the entity with the right to do so. verificationResult.validator provides information about the entity performing the validation of the target
• organization identifies the validating organization, and identityCertificate asserts their identity
• attestationSignature asserts that the validator has validated the target
