A Patient resource adhering to the PHD Patient Profile is used as a reference for most Observations. Dependent on the use case, the Patient resource may contain only minimal information sufficient to identify the patient resource on the server. It is also possible that the Patient resource is never uploaded by the PHG. In that case, the logical id to a Patient resource on the FHIR server must be provided to the PHG by some other means.

The PHD Patient Profile may or may not include patient-identifiable information, depending on the use case. For example, in Remote Patient Monitoring, PII/PHI protection may be critical, while in other cases, such as fitness tracking by a coach monitoring team performance. In such cases, protecting fitness data may not justify the associated effort and inconvenience. This profile supports both scenarios.

If a Patient resource is created by the PHG, only Patient.identifier.system, Patient.identifier.value, Patient.identifier.type.coding.code, and Patient.identifier.type.coding.system are required. The Patient.name element is optional, helping in PII/PHI protection since the required fields cannot be linked to a person without a dictionary that should only be available to the healthcare provider.

Summary

Mandatory: 0 element(1 nested mandatory element)

Slices

This structure defines the following Slices:

• The element 1 is sliced based on the value of Patient.identifier

Maturity: 1

PHG created Patient Resource

A Patient resource for a known or an unknown patient shall be created by the PHG according to this profile. This implies:

• The Patient resource shall have a Patient.identifier element from a known HL7 v2-0203 coding system.
• As an example the MR (Medical Record) code from this coding system may be used.
• The Patient.identifier.value element shall contain a value that is unique for the patient in the context of the health care provider.

Examples:

An example of a PHD generated patient for a known patient is given here. An example of a PHD generated patient for an unknown patient is given here. These examples contain an optional name element.
