0. RelatedPerson | |
Definition | Information about a person that is involved in a patient's health or the care for a patient, but who is not the target of healthcare, nor has a formal responsibility in the care process. |
Short | A person that is related to a patient, but who is not a direct target of care |

2. RelatedPerson.implicitRules | |
Definition | A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc. |
Short | A set of rules under which this content was created |
Comments | Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of its narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | uri |
Is Modifier | true because This element is labeled as a modifier because the implicit rules may provide additional knowledge about the resource that modifies its meaning or interpretation |
Primitive Value | This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension |
Must Support | false |
Summary | true |
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
4. RelatedPerson.contained | |
Definition | These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, nor can they have their own independent transaction scope. This is allowed to be a Parameters resource if and only if it is referenced by a resource that provides context/meaning. |
Short | Contained, inline Resources |
Comments | This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags in their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels. |
Control | 0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: dom-2, dom-4, dom-3, dom-5 |
Type | Resource |
Is Modifier | false |
Must Support | false |
Summary | false |
Alternate Names | inline resources, anonymous resources, contained resources |
6. RelatedPerson.modifierExtension | |
Definition | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself). |
Short | Extensions that cannot be ignored |
Comments | There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone. |
Control | 0..* |
Type | Extension |
Is Modifier | true because Modifier extensions are expected to modify the meaning or interpretation of the resource that contains them |
Must Support | false |
Summary | true |
Requirements | Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions. |
Alternate Names | extensions, user content |
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (extension.exists() != value.exists()) |
8. RelatedPerson.identifier | |
Definition | Identifier for a person within a particular scope. |
Short | Kontaktisiku identifikaatorid.A human identifier for this person |
Comments | RelatedPerson identifiers might not be unique across instances within a system, as a single human individual may be represented as many different RelatedPerson resources with different roles, periods, or relationships. |
Note | This is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion) |
Control | 0..* |
Type | Identifier |
Is Modifier | false |
Must Support | true |

Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
10. RelatedPerson.identifier.use | |
Definition | The purpose of this identifier. |
Short | usual | official | temp | secondary | old (If known) |
Comments | Applications can assume that an identifier is permanent unless it explicitly says that it is temporary. |
Control | 0..1 |

Type | code |
Is Modifier | true because This is labeled as "Is Modifier" because applications should not mistake a temporary id for a permanent one. |
Primitive Value | This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension |
Summary | true |
Requirements | Allows the appropriate identifier for a particular context of use to be selected from among a set of identifiers. |
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
12. RelatedPerson.identifier.system | |
Definition | Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, an absolute URL that describes a set values that are unique. |
Short | The namespace for the identifier value |
Comments | Identifier.system is always case sensitive. |
Control | 10..1 |
Binding | Unless not suitable, these codes SHALL be taken from For codes, see Patient Identifier Domain (extensible to https://fhir.ee/ValueSet/patient-identifier-domain ) |
Type | uri |
Is Modifier | false |
Primitive Value | This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension |
Must Support | true |
Summary | true |
Requirements | There are many sets of identifiers. To perform matching of two identifiers, we need to know what set we're dealing with. The system identifies a particular set of unique identifiers. |
Example | <br/><b>General</b>:http://www.acme.com/identifiers/patient |
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
14. RelatedPerson.identifier.value | |
Definition | The portion of the identifier typically relevant to the user and which is unique within the context of the system. |
Short | The value that is unique |
Comments | If the value is a full URI, then the system SHALL be urn:ietf:rfc:3986. The value's primary purpose is computational mapping. As a result, it may be normalized for comparison purposes (e.g. removing non-significant whitespace, dashes, etc.) A value formatted for human display can be conveyed using the http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/rendered-value). Identifier.value is to be treated as case sensitive unless knowledge of the Identifier.system allows the processer to be confident that non-case-sensitive processing is safe. |

Short | A set of rules under which this content was created |
Comments | Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element.

Definition | The base language in which the resource is written. |
Short | Language of the resource content |
Comments | Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute). |

10. RelatedPerson.text | |
Definition | A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety. |
Short | Text summary of the resource, for human interpretation |
Comments | Contained resources do not have a narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later. |

This is allowed to be a Parameters resource if and only if it is referenced by a resource that provides context/meaning. |
Short | Contained, inline Resources |

26. RelatedPerson.identifier.type | |
Definition | A coded type for the identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose. |
Short | Description of identifier |
Comments | This element deals only with general categories of identifiers. It SHOULD not be used for codes that correspond 1..1 with the Identifier.system. Some identifiers may fall into multiple categories due to common usage. Where the system is known, a type is unnecessary because the type is always part of the system definition. However systems often need to handle identifiers where the system is not known. There is not a 1:1 relationship between type and system, since many different systems have the same type. |

Summary | true |
Requirements | There are many sets of identifiers. To perform matching of two identifiers, we need to know what set we're dealing with. The system identifies a particular set of unique identifiers. |
Example | <br/><b>General</b>:http://www.acme.com/identifiers/patient |
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()) ) |
30. RelatedPerson.identifier.value | |
Definition | The portion of the identifier typically relevant to the user and which is unique within the context of the system. |
Short | The value that is unique |
Comments | If the value is a full URI, then the system SHALL be urn:ietf:rfc:3986. The value's primary purpose is computational mapping. As a result, it may be normalized for comparison purposes (e.g. removing non-significant whitespace, dashes, etc.) A value formatted for human display can be conveyed using the http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/rendered-value). Identifier.value is to be treated as case sensitive unless knowledge of the Identifier.system allows the processer to be confident that non-case-sensitive processing is safe. |

Requirements | Many EHR systems have the capability to capture an image of persons. Fits with newer social media usage too. |
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()) ) |
102. RelatedPerson.period | |
Definition | The period of time during which this relationship is or was active. If there are no dates defined, then the interval is unknown. |
Short | Period of time that this relationship is considered valid |
Comments | If an individual has a relationship with a patient over multiple, non-adjacent periods, there should be a distinct RelatedPerson instance for each period. For example, if a person is a roommate for a period of time, moves out, and is later a roommate with the same person again, you would have two RelatedPerson instances. |

104. RelatedPerson.communication | |
Definition | A language which may be used to communicate with the related person about the patient's health. |
Short | A language which may be used to communicate with the related person about the patient's health |
Comments | If no language is specified, this implies that the default local language is spoken. If you need to convey proficiency for multiple modes, then you need multiple RelatedPerson.Communication associations. If the RelatedPerson does not speak the default local language, then the Interpreter Required Standard can be used to explicitly declare that an interpreter is required. |

Type | BackboneElement |
Is Modifier | false |
Must Support | false |
Summary | false |
Requirements | If a related person does not speak the local language, interpreters may be required, so languages spoken and proficiency is an important things to keep track of both for patient and other persons of interest. |
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()) ) |
106. RelatedPerson.communication.id | |
Definition | Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces. |
Short | Unique id for inter-element referencing |
Control | 0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1 |
Type | string |
Is Modifier | false |
XML Format | In the XML format, this property is represented as an attribute. |
Summary | false |
108. RelatedPerson.communication.extension | |
Definition | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. |
Short | Additional content defined by implementations |
Comments | There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone. |
Control | 0..* |

Alternate Names | extensions, user content |
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()) )ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both ( extension.exists() != value.exists() ) |
110. RelatedPerson.communication.modifierExtension | |
Definition | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself). |
Short | Extensions that cannot be ignored even if unrecognized |
Comments | There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone. |
Control | 0..* |
Type | Extension |
Is Modifier | true because Modifier extensions are expected to modify the meaning or interpretation of the element that contains them |
Summary | true |
Requirements | Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions. |
Alternate Names | extensions, user content, modifiers |

112. RelatedPerson.communication.language | |
Definition | The ISO-639-1 alpha 2 code in lower case for the language, optionally followed by a hyphen and the ISO-3166-1 alpha 2 code for the region in upper case; e.g. "en" for English, or "en-US" for American English versus "en-AU" for Australian English. |
Short | The language which can be used to communicate with the related person about the patient's health |
Comments | The structure aa-BB with this exact casing is one the most widely used notations for locale. However not all systems actually code this but instead have it as free text. Hence CodeableConcept instead of code as the data type. |
Control | 1..1 |
Binding | The codes SHALL be taken from AllLanguages (required to http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/all-languages|5.0.0 )IETF language tag for a human language |

Requirements | Most systems in multilingual countries will want to convey language. Not all systems actually need the regional dialect. |
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()) ) |
114. RelatedPerson.communication.preferred | |
Definition | Indicates whether or not the related person prefers this language (over other languages he or she masters up a certain level). |
Short | Language preference indicator |
Comments | This language is specifically identified for communicating healthcare information. |
