The Electronic Case Reporting Composition profile establishes the core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets for representing an electronic initial case report (eICR). It describes the content requirements for the initial Case Report including:

• Patient demographics
• Patient pregnancy status
• Patient occupation and travel history
• Provider and Facility information
• Laboratory orders tests and results
• Signs and Symptoms and Diagnosis
• Medication and Immunization History
• Flags for the existence of reportable condition trigger codes in diagnoses and ordered/resulted laboratory tests.

While the focus of this specification is on patient-specific clinical statements, this resource can also apply to other healthcare-related statements such as study protocol designs, healthcare invoices and other activities that are not necessarily patient-specific or clinical.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

An Extension

Public Health Composition versionNumber. This is equivalent to ClinicalDocument.versionNumber in CDA. The identifier of the containing Bundle is equivalent to ClinicalDocument.id in CDA and Composition.identifier is equivalent to ClinicalDocument.setId in CDA. This is a version specific identifier for the composition, assigned when each version is created/updated.

While each resource, including the composition itself, has its own version identifier, this is a formal identifier for the logical version of the composition as a whole. It would remain constant if the resources were moved to a new server, and all got new individual resource versions, for example.

An Extension

When set to "PHC1464: Manually Initiated eICR", indicates that this document is manually initiated. When set to "PHC2235: Alternately Initiated eICR", indicates that this eICR document was initiated by automated process and is intended to force reporting to the responsible Public Health Agency (PHA) for the jurisdiction of care. Unlike eICRs manually initiated by a provider, which are force reported to all relevant jurisdictions, PHC2235 will be sent to, and only to, the PHA of the jurisdiction of care. If a reportable condition is found by public health decision support then the alternately initiated eICR may also be reported to the jurisdiction of residence PHA.

An explanation for the manual or alternate initiation of the eICR.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

Public Health Composition identifier. This is equivalent to ClinicalDocument.setId in CDA. The identifier of the containing Bundle is equivalent to ClinicalDocument.id in CDA and Composition.sliceExtensionVersionNumber is equivalent to ClinicalDocument.versionNumber in CDA.

Similar to ClinicalDocument/setId in CDA. See discussion in resource definition for how these relate.

The workflow/clinical status of this composition. The status is a marker for the clinical standing of the document.

If a composition is marked as withdrawn, the compositions/documents in the series, or data from the composition or document series, should never be displayed to a user without being clearly marked as untrustworthy. The flag "entered-in-error" is why this element is labeled as a modifier of other elements.

Some reporting work flows require that the original narrative of a final document never be altered; instead, only new narrative can be added. The composition resource has no explicit status for explicitly noting whether this business rule is in effect. This would be handled by an extension if required.

The workflow/clinical status of the composition.

Need to be able to mark interim, amended, or withdrawn compositions or documents.

The type of this Composition is a Public Health Case Report

For Composition type, LOINC is ubiquitous and strongly endorsed by HL7. Most implementation guides will require a specific LOINC code, or use LOINC as an extensible binding.

Type of a composition.

Key metadata element describing the composition, used in searching/filtering.

The subject of this Composition is the patient.

For clinical documents, this is usually the patient.

Essential metadata for searching for the composition. Identifies who and/or what the composition/document is about.

This Encounter profile represents the encounter related to the public health event.

Provides context for the composition and supports searching.

The composition editing time, when the composition was last logically changed by the author.

The Last Modified Date on the composition may be after the date of the document was attested without being changed.

dateTime is used for tracking, organizing versions and searching. Note that this is the time of authoring. When packaged in a document, Bundle.timestamp is the date of packaging.

It is possible to have multiple authors - especially in the case where the default author is the organization. For public health reporting this could contain the contact details for the Infection Control Professional (ICP) specific to the condition being reported on. If the main author of the document is not a person, it is recommended to have an additional person author contact who is specific for a disease for follow-up requirements. This person could be the ICP. Where a trigger occurs outside of an encounter the author will represent the Provider and Facility for reporting purposes.

Identifies who is responsible for the content.

Official human-readable label for the composition.

For many compositions, the title is the same as the text or a display name of Composition.type (e.g. a "consultation" or "progress note"). Note that CDA does not make title mandatory, but there are no known cases where it is useful for title to be omitted, so it is mandatory here. Feedback on this requirement is welcome during the trial use period.

Identifies the organization or group who is responsible for ongoing maintenance of and access to the composition/document information.

This is useful when documents are derived from a composition - provides guidance for how to get the latest version of the document. This is optional because this is sometimes not known by the authoring system, and can be inferred by context. However, it is important that this information be known when working with a derived document, so providing a custodian is encouraged.

Identifies where to go to find the current version, where to report issues, etc.

Relationships that this composition has with other compositions or documents that already exist.

The Results Section contains observations of results generated by laboratories, imaging procedures, and other procedures. The scope includes observations such as hematology, chemistry, serology, virology, toxicology, microbiology, plain x-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI, angiography, echocardiography, nuclear medicine, pathology, and procedure observations. The section often includes notable results such as abnormal values or relevant trends, and could contain all results for the period of time being documented.

Laboratory results are typically generated by laboratories providing analytic services in areas such as chemistry, hematology, serology, histology, cytology, anatomic pathology, microbiology, and/or virology. These observations are based on analysis of specimens obtained from the patient and submitted to the laboratory. Imaging results are typically generated by a clinician reviewing the output of an imaging procedure, such as where a cardiologist reports the left ventricular ejection fraction based on the review of a cardiac echocardiogram.

Procedure results are typically generated by a clinician to provide more granular information about component observations made during a procedure, such as where a gastroenterologist reports the size of a polyp observed during a colonoscopy.

Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

Immunizations code

The code identifies the section for an automated processor of the document. This is particularly relevant when using profiles to control the structure of the document.

If the section has content (instead of sub-sections), the section.code does not change the meaning or interpretation of the resource that is the content of the section in the comments for the section.code.

Classification of a section of a composition/document.

Provides computable standardized labels to topics within the document.

Immunizations narrative

Document profiles may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

A reference to the actual resource from which the narrative in the section is derived.

If there are no entries in the list, an emptyReason SHOULD be provided.

The eICR Trigger Code Flag (extension) is present for an Immunization, based on a trigger code match of the vaccine (Immunization.vaccineCode) to the eRSD PlanDefinition Immunizations Trigger.

If there are no entries in the list, an emptyReason SHOULD be provided.

An Extension

A flag to indicate that the target reference represents a triggering event and caused the eCR to be generated.
