Resource Profile: Cancer Patient Profile

A patient who has been diagnosed with or is receiving medical treatment for a malignant growth or tumor. The only difference between CancerPatient and US Core Patient is that Patient.deceased is a must-support element in mCODE. Must-support is an instruction to implementers of FHIR clients and servers, rather than a constraint on data structure. Any Patient resource complying with US Core Patient Profile will also comply with CancerPatient.

Usage:

• Use this Resource Profile: mCODE Patient Bundle Profile
• Refer to this Resource Profile: Cancer Disease Status Profile, Cancer-Related Medication Administration Profile, Cancer-Related Medication Request Profile, Cancer Risk Assessment Profile... Show 20 more, Cancer Stage Profile, Comorbidities Profile, Deauville Scale Profile, ECOG Performance Status Profile, Genomic Region Studied Profile, Genomic Variant Profile, Genomics Report Profile, Histologic Behavior and Type, Histologic Grade, Human Specimen Profile, Karnofsky Performance Status Profile, Lansky Play Performance Status Profile, mCODE Patient Group Profile, Radiotherapy Course Summary Profile, Radiotherapy Volume Profile, Parent for T, N, and M Categories., Tumor Marker Test Profile, Tumor Morphology Report, Tumor Size Profile and Tumor Profile
