Extension: eICR Initiation Type Extension

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/ecr/StructureDefinition/eicr-initiation-type-extension Version: 3.0.0-ballot
Standards status: Trial-use Active as of 2025-11-20 Maturity Level: 3 Computable Name: EICRInitiationTypeExtension
Other Identifiers: OID:2.16.840.1.113883.4.642.40.46.42.7

This Extension profile represents that the eICR, was either manually or alternately initiated by the provider.

Context of Use

When code is set to PHC1464, it indicates either:

  • the eICR was manually initiated by an action of the provider of care because they suspect there may be a reportable condition
  • a code leading to the automatic creation of an eICR had been previously entered-in-error and has now been corrected

When code is set to PHC2235, it indicates that the eICR was initiated by automated, forced reporting. Unlike eICRs manually initiated by a provider, PHC2235 will be routed only to the public health agency of the jurisdiction of care unless another reportable condition is found. The eICR could also contain RCTC trigger codes.
