Resource Profile: Adaptive Questionnaire Response

Defines how the questionnaire response resource is used to reflect form data within the Structured Data Capture standard.

Usages:

• Use this Profile: Next question operation input parameters and Next question operation output parameters
• Examples for this Profile: QuestionnaireResponse/adaptive-questionnaireresponse-sdc-example-phq9-start and QuestionnaireResponse/adaptive-questionnaireresponse-sdc-example-phq9

Constraints

Id	Grade	Path(s)	Details	Requirements
dom-2	error	QuestionnaireResponse	If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT contain nested Resources : contained.contained.empty()
dom-3	error	QuestionnaireResponse	If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL be referred to from elsewhere in the resource or SHALL refer to the containing resource : contained.where((('#'+id in (%resource.descendants().reference | %resource.descendants().as(canonical) | %resource.descendants().as(uri) | %resource.descendants().as(url))) or descendants().where(reference = '#').exists() or descendants().where(as(canonical) = '#').exists() or descendants().where(as(canonical) = '#').exists()).not()).trace('unmatched', id).empty()
dom-4	error	QuestionnaireResponse	If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a meta.versionId or a meta.lastUpdated : contained.meta.versionId.empty() and contained.meta.lastUpdated.empty()
dom-5	error	QuestionnaireResponse	If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a security label : contained.meta.security.empty()
dom-6	best practice	QuestionnaireResponse	A resource should have narrative for robust management : text.`div`.exists()
ele-1	error	**ALL** elements	All FHIR elements must have a @value or children : hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())
ext-1	error	**ALL** extensions	Must have either extensions or value[x], not both : extension.exists() != value.exists()
qrs-1	error	QuestionnaireResponse.item	Nested item can't be beneath both item and answer : (answer.exists() and item.exists()).not()
qrs-2	error	QuestionnaireResponse.item	Repeated answers are combined in the answers array of a single item : repeat(answer|item).select(item.where(answer.value.exists()).linkId.isDistinct()).allTrue()
sdcqr-1	best practice	QuestionnaireResponse	Subject SHOULD be present (searching is difficult without subject). Almost all QuestionnaireResponses should be with respect to some sort of subject. : subject.exists()
sdcqr-2	best practice	QuestionnaireResponse	When repeats=true for a group, it'll be represented with multiple items with the same linkId in the QuestionnaireResponse. For a question, it'll be represented by a single item with that linkId with multiple answers. : (QuestionnaireResponse|repeat(answer|item)).select(item.where(answer.value.exists()).linkId.isDistinct()).allTrue()
sdcqr-3	error	QuestionnaireResponse	Can either have source or source extension, but not both : source.count() + extension.where(url='http://hl7.org/fhir/5.0/StructureDefinition/extension-QuestionnaireResponse.source').count() <=1
