This Composition profile represents the Reportability Response that will be created in response to an electronic Initial Case Report Composition.

Reporting may be identified for multiple PHAs by the PHA system (or its intermediary) (because the patient's residence and the provider location are in separate jurisdictions) including other identified organization (such as an HIE) to which the eICR (if deemed reportable) and/or the Reportability Response will be routed.

The type of this Composition is a Public Health Reportability Response Document

The encounter during which the eICR was triggered.

For the Reportability Response Composition, this will most likely be the software that is generating the response, though this will not always the be case.

This section contains the subject (short description) of the Reportability Response Document. This information can be used in a work queue or an email subject and gives a concise description of the determination of reportability. This section is present in the Reportability Response Document if the eICR Document was processed and is not present if the eICR Document was not processed. The narrative in this section is displayed first in the Reportability Response Document and consists of paragraphs containing the 'Subject:' heading and the subject text.

This section contains information about the eICR Document to which this document is a response.

This extension constains processing status information about the eICR.

The presence of this extension indicates whether or not the eICR Document for which this Reportability Response is a response, was either alternately or manually initiated. The eICR could also contain trigger codes (automatic trigger code initiation).

This extension contains the date and time of eICR receipt.

Reference to eICR Document Bundle or eICR CDA document. Use identifier for eICR Document Bundle identifier 2. Use display for eICR file name (or other identifying string): recommended primarily for dealing with eICR error cases. In the case where an eICR document is unreadable for some reason, it is possible that the only identifying information is the eICR filename (or other identifying string).

The filename is recommended primarily for dealing with eICR error cases. In the case where an eICR document is unreadable for some reason, it is likely that the setId and versionNumber would be unavailable, and it is possible that the only identifying information is the eICR document filename.

This section contains the Reportability Response Summary profile and the Reportability Response Priority profile.

This section is present in the Reportability Response Document if the eICR Document was processed and is not present if the eICR Document was not processed.

The narrative in this section is displayed last in the Reportability Response Document and consists of the following elements in the following order (see example included in IG):

• Paragraphs containing the "Summary:" heading and the summary text
• A list containing external resources from the following categories (code specified in External Resources/code), in the order specified below:
  • Outbreak- or Cluster-related
  • Additional reporting needs
  • Additional detection and/or laboratory testing needs
  • Treatment and/or prevention
  • PHA contact information
• A list containing external resources from the category (code specified in External Resources/code):
  • Additional resources

Represents a priority for the reportability response overall. It has been calculated from the highest priority of any included External Resources or the highest priority of included Conditions based on a separate, jurisdictionally developed priority list. This priority should be used for EHR workflow including notification, alerting, routing and queueing.

Contains one (if both the patient's home and the provider location have the same responsible agency) or more (if the patient's home and provider location have different responsible agencies) Reportability Information Observations. It may also contain external resources specific to the condition.

This Composition profile represents the Reportability Response that will be created in response to an electronic Initial Case Report Composition.

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.

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.

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.

The encounter during which the eICR was triggered.

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.

For the Reportability Response Composition, this will most likely be the software that is generating the response, though this will not always the be case.

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.

A document is a version specific composition.

Classification of a section of a composition/document.

Provides computable standardized labels to topics within the document.

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.

Reference to eICR Document Bundle or eICR CDA document. Use identifier for eICR Document Bundle identifier 2. Use display for eICR file name (or other identifying string): recommended primarily for dealing with eICR error cases. In the case where an eICR document is unreadable for some reason, it is possible that the only identifying information is the eICR filename (or other identifying string).

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

An identifier for the target resource. This is used when there is no way to reference the other resource directly, either because the entity it represents is not available through a FHIR server, or because there is no way for the author of the resource to convert a known identifier to an actual location. There is no requirement that a Reference.identifier point to something that is actually exposed as a FHIR instance, but it SHALL point to a business concept that would be expected to be exposed as a FHIR instance, and that instance would need to be of a FHIR resource type allowed by the reference.

When an identifier is provided in place of a reference, any system processing the reference will only be able to resolve the identifier to a reference if it understands the business context in which the identifier is used. Sometimes this is global (e.g. a national identifier) but often it is not. For this reason, none of the useful mechanisms described for working with references (e.g. chaining, includes) are possible, nor should servers be expected to be able resolve the reference. Servers may accept an identifier based reference untouched, resolve it, and/or reject it - see CapabilityStatement.rest.resource.referencePolicy.

When both an identifier and a literal reference are provided, the literal reference is preferred. Applications processing the resource are allowed - but not required - to check that the identifier matches the literal reference

Applications converting a logical reference to a literal reference may choose to leave the logical reference present, or remove it.

Reference is intended to point to a structure that can potentially be expressed as a FHIR resource, though there is no need for it to exist as an actual FHIR resource instance - except in as much as an application wishes to actual find the target of the reference. The content referred to be the identifier must meet the logical constraints implied by any limitations on what resource types are permitted for the reference. For example, it would not be legitimate to send the identifier for a drug prescription if the type were Reference(Observation|DiagnosticReport). One of the use-cases for Reference.identifier is the situation where no FHIR representation exists (where the type is Reference (Any).

The filename is recommended primarily for dealing with eICR error cases. In the case where an eICR document is unreadable for some reason, it is likely that the setId and versionNumber would be unavailable, and it is possible that the only identifying information is the eICR document filename.

This is generally not the same as the Resource.text of the referenced resource. The purpose is to identify what's being referenced, not to fully describe it.

This section contains the Reportability Response Summary profile and the Reportability Response Priority profile.

This section is present in the Reportability Response Document if the eICR Document was processed and is not present if the eICR Document was not processed.

The narrative in this section is displayed last in the Reportability Response Document and consists of the following elements in the following order (see example included in IG):

• Paragraphs containing the "Summary:" heading and the summary text
• A list containing external resources from the following categories (code specified in External Resources/code), in the order specified below:
  • Outbreak- or Cluster-related
  • Additional reporting needs
  • Additional detection and/or laboratory testing needs
  • Treatment and/or prevention
  • PHA contact information
• A list containing external resources from the category (code specified in External Resources/code):
  • Additional resources

An Extension

Represents a priority for the reportability response overall. It has been calculated from the highest priority of any included External Resources or the highest priority of included Conditions based on a separate, jurisdictionally developed priority list. This priority should be used for EHR workflow including notification, alerting, routing and queueing.

This Composition profile represents the Reportability Response that will be created in response to an electronic Initial Case Report Composition.

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.

The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.

The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

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.

The base language in which the resource is written.

Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).

A human language.

A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later.

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags In their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels.

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.

For the Reportability Response Composition, this will most likely be the software that is generating the response, though this will not always the be case.

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.

The code specifying the level of confidentiality of the Composition.

The exact use of this element, and enforcement and issues related to highly sensitive documents are out of scope for the base specification, and delegated to implementation profiles (see security section). This element is labeled as a modifier because highly confidential documents must not be treated as if they are not.

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.

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.

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.

This list of codes represents the main clinical acts, such as a colonoscopy or an appendectomy, being documented. In some cases, the event is inherent in the typeCode, such as a "History and Physical Report" in which the procedure being documented is necessarily a "History and Physical" act.

An event can further specialize the act inherent in the typeCode, such as where it is simply "Procedure Report" and the procedure was a "colonoscopy". If one or more eventCodes are included, they SHALL NOT conflict with the values inherent in the classCode, practiceSettingCode or typeCode, as such a conflict would create an ambiguous situation. This short list of codes is provided to be used as key words for certain types of queries.

This list of codes represents the main clinical acts being documented.

The period of time covered by the documentation. There is no assertion that the documentation is a complete representation for this period, only that it documents events during this time.

The description and/or reference of the event(s) being documented. For example, this could be used to document such a colonoscopy or an appendectomy.

The label for this particular section. This will be part of the rendered content for the document, and is often used to build a table of contents.

The title identifies the section for a human reader. The title must be consistent with the narrative of the resource that is the target of the section.content reference. Generally, sections SHOULD have titles, but in some documents, it is unnecessary or inappropriate. Typically, this is where a section has subsections that have their own adequately distinguishing title, or documents that only have a single section. Most Implementation Guides will make section title to be a required element.

Section headings are often standardized for different types of documents. They give guidance to humans on how the document is organized.

A code identifying the kind of content contained within the section. This must be consistent with the section title.

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.

Identifies who is responsible for the information in this section, not necessarily who typed it in.

Identifies who is responsible for the content.

The actual focus of the section when it is not the subject of the composition, but instead represents something or someone associated with the subject such as (for a patient subject) a spouse, parent, fetus, or donor. If not focus is specified, the focus is assumed to be focus of the parent section, or, for a section in the Composition itself, the subject of the composition. Sections with a focus SHALL only include resources where the logical subject (patient, subject, focus, etc.) matches the section focus, or the resources have no logical subject (few resources).

Typically, sections in a doument are about the subject of the document, whether that is a patient, or group of patients, location, or device, or whatever. For some kind of documents, some sections actually contain data about related entities. Typical examples are a section in a newborn discharge summary concerning the mother, or family history documents, with a section about each family member, though there are many other examples.

A human-readable narrative that contains the attested content of the section, used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative.

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

How the entry list was prepared - whether it is a working list that is suitable for being maintained on an ongoing basis, or if it represents a snapshot of a list of items from another source, or whether it is a prepared list where items may be marked as added, modified or deleted.

This element is labeled as a modifier because a change list must not be misunderstood as a complete list.

The processing mode that applies to this section.

Sections are used in various ways, and it must be known in what way it is safe to use the entries in them.

Specifies the order applied to the items in the section entries.

Applications SHOULD render ordered lists in the order provided, but MAY allow users to re-order based on their own preferences as well. If there is no order specified, the order is unknown, though there may still be some order.

What order applies to the items in the entry.

Important for presentation and rendering. Lists may be sorted to place more important information first or to group related entries.

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.

If the section is empty, why the list is empty. An empty section typically has some text explaining the empty reason.

The various reasons for an empty section make a significant interpretation to its interpretation. Note that this code is for use when the entire section content has been suppressed, and not for when individual items are omitted - implementers may consider using a text note or a flag on an entry in these cases.

If a section is empty, why it is empty.

Allows capturing things like "none exist" or "not asked" which can be important for most lists.

A nested sub-section within this section.

Nested sections are primarily used to help human readers navigate to particular portions of the document.

This section contains the subject (short description) of the Reportability Response Document. This information can be used in a work queue or an email subject and gives a concise description of the determination of reportability. This section is present in the Reportability Response Document if the eICR Document was processed and is not present if the eICR Document was not processed. The narrative in this section is displayed first in the Reportability Response Document and consists of paragraphs containing the 'Subject:' heading and the subject text.

Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
