2.0.0-draft - STU 2.0.0-draft United States of America flag

Interoperable Digital Identity and Patient Matching, published by HL7 International - Patient Administration WG. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 2.0.0-draft built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/HL7/fhir-identity-matching-ig/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

Artifacts Summary

Contents:

This page provides a list of the FHIR artifacts defined as part of this implementation guide.

Structures: Resource Profiles

These define constraints on FHIR resources for systems conforming to this implementation guide.

IDI Patient

(Base Level) The goal of this profile is to describe a data-minimized version of Patient used to convey information about the patient for Identity Matching utilizing the $match operation. Only requires that ‘some valuable data’ be populated within the Patient resource and utilizes no weighting of element values.
IDI Patient L0

(Level 0 weighting) The goal of this profile is to describe a data-minimized version of Patient used to convey information about the patient for Identity Matching utilizing the $match operation, and prescribe a minimum set of data elements which meet a combined ‘weighted level’ of at least 9
IDI Patient L1

(Level 1 weighting) The goal of this profile is to describe a data-minimized version of Patient used to convey information about the patient for Identity Matching utilizing the $match operation, and prescribe a minimum set of data elements which meet a combined ‘weighted level’ of at least 10 and using attributes that are consistent with an identity that has been verified by the match requestor
VerAtt Patient

The goal of this profile is to assist in determining the verification status of a demographic. ID tags are attached to each demographic element to be referenced in a parallel Provenance resource.

Terminology: Value Sets

These define sets of codes used by systems conforming to this implementation guide.

Identity Identifier Value Set

Codes describing various identifiers to be used in Patient resource for $match.

Terminology: Code Systems

These define new code systems used by systems conforming to this implementation guide.

Identity Identifier Code System

Defining codes for describing specialized identifiers to be used in Patient resource for $match.

Terminology: Naming Systems

These define identifier and/or code system identities used by systems conforming to this implementation guide.

Identity-HL7-Identifier

Digital Identifier to assist in patient matching.

Example: Example Instances
