Artifacts Summary

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

Structures: Questionnaires

These define forms used by systems conforming to this implementation guide to capture or expose data to end users.

Emergency Assessment Questionnaire

Structures: Abstract Profiles

These are profiles on resources or data types that describe patterns used by other profiles, but cannot be instantiated directly. I.e. instances can conform to profiles based on these abstract profiles but do not declare conformance to the abstract profiles themselves.

Observation - Caller Reported

Represents unverified clinical information reported by a caller or dispatcher before physical patient assessment by an emergency medical practitioner.

Caller-reported observations must remain distinct from observations recorded after direct clinical assessment.

Structures: Resource Profiles

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

AllergyIntolerance - Emergency Allergy or Intolerance

Represents a patient's allergy or intolerance recorded during Kenya emergency medical services and facility workflows.

Criticality and reaction detail are must-fetch on patient lookup and must never be silently dropped. By the time the allergy-history section of an assessment is marked complete, the patient must have either one or more EMAllergyIntolerance instances with a real allergen code, or exactly one EMNoKnownAllergy instance — never both, never neither.

AllergyIntolerance - No Known Allergy

An explicit record asserting that a full allergy history was taken and nothing was found, distinct from simply having zero AllergyIntolerance resources.

The absence of any AllergyIntolerance resource is ambiguous — it could mean 'confirmed none' or 'never asked' — and that ambiguity is exactly the kind of gap that can lead to a contraindicated drug being administered.

Case Assessment - Kenya

Kenya Case Assessment profile representing structured clinical assessments.

Composition - Kenya

Kenya Composition profile representing a clinical or administrative entry composition.

DiagnosticReport - Emergency Investigation Result

Represents an emergency investigation result, e.g. a 12-lead ECG, laboratory result, or imaging report, generated during pre-hospital or facility-based emergency care.

DocumentReference - Kenya

Kenya DocumentReference profile for clinical and administrative documents.

Encounter - Emergency Medical Incident

Represents the complete emergency medical services incident from dispatch initiation through handover at the receiving facility.

This Encounter is the root encounter for an EMS episode. It captures dispatch information, the reporting caller, the dispatcher, responding units, participating emergency agencies, scene information, and the destination facility.

Clinical care performed by the responding emergency team should be represented using a separate point-of-care Encounter whose partOf element references this Encounter.

Encounter - Emergency Point of Care

Represents the direct patient-care encounter performed by an emergency medical team at the scene or during transport.

The point-of-care Encounter is subordinate to the root emergency incident Encounter and references it through Encounter.partOf.

Flag - Emergency Allergy Criticality Alert

A prominent, must-see alert referencing a high-criticality EMAllergyIntolerance record.

Reuses the base FHIR Flag resource, designed exactly for prominent alerts, rather than requiring every consuming system to know a local convention on AllergyIntolerance. Intended for use specifically with EMAllergyIntolerance instances where criticality = high.

Kenya Ambulance Encounter

Encounter profile for ambulance services in Kenya.

Location - Emergency Destination Facility

Represents the physical healthcare facility or emergency-care location intended to receive, or that actually received, a patient transported by emergency medical services.

The Location identifies the physical destination. The organization operating the facility is referenced through Location.managingOrganization.

Location - Emergency Incident Scene

Represents the physical location at which an emergency incident occurred or at which the patient was found.

The location supports coordinates, landmarks, descriptive directions, and administrative geographic details.

Location - Emergency Responder Unit Position

Represents the real-time geographic position and response status of an emergency responder unit, referenced from EMResponderUnit.location.

MedicationAdministration - Emergency Medication Administration

Represents a medication administered to a patient during Kenya emergency medical services and facility clinical workflows.

Used instead of MedicationRequest because emergency care is administration-heavy — drugs are given in real time, not merely prescribed.

Observation - Caller-Reported Active Bleeding

Represents whether active bleeding was reported by the caller or dispatcher before direct clinical assessment.

Observation - Caller-Reported Breathing Status

Represents the patient's apparent breathing status as reported by a caller or dispatcher before direct clinical assessment.

Observation - Caller-Reported Level of Consciousness

Represents the patient's apparent level of consciousness as reported by the caller or dispatcher before direct clinical assessment.

Observation - Emergency Secondary Survey

Represents the examination of a single body region during an emergency secondary survey — one Observation instance per body region examined (head, neck, chest, back-and-spine, abdomen, pelvis, upper-extremities, lower-extremities), not one Observation for the whole secondary survey.

Mirrors the explicit-absence pattern used on EMAllergyIntolerance: a region with nothing abnormal found must be recorded as an explicit "examined, no findings" Observation, never left as a silently-missing resource. A full-body exam is expected to produce exactly 8 Observation instances (fewer only if the survey was genuinely partial, e.g. limited by scene safety) — that expectation is a workflow-completeness rule, not a FHIR structural constraint on this profile.

Observation - Emergency Triage Acuity

A standalone, trendable triage acuity record, separate from EMIncidentEncounter.priority (dispatch) and EMPOCEncounter.priority (on-scene).

Only create this Observation when the workflow needs acuity trending as discrete timestamped events; if a single current-priority value per encounter is sufficient, Encounter.priority alone is enough and this Observation is unnecessary.

Observation - Emergency Vital Signs

Represents a single vital-sign measurement (heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, SpO2, blood pressure, or Glasgow Coma Scale) captured during Kenya emergency medical services and point-of-care workflows.

Largely reuses the standard FHIR vital-signs pattern rather than inventing new structure. One Observation instance is created per measurement, per reading time, so trends across the episode (dispatch snapshot, on-scene, in-transit, ED arrival) can be reconstructed.

Procedure - Emergency Clinical Procedure

Represents a clinical procedure performed during Kenya emergency medical services and point-of-care workflows, e.g. CPR, endotracheal intubation, wound dressing, or splinting.

QuestionnaireResponse - Kenya

Kenya QuestionnaireResponse profile representing captured questionnaire responses.

Structures: Extension Definitions

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

Emergency Incident Caller

Captures the person who reported the emergency incident.

The caller may be the Patient, a person related to the Patient, or an unlinked person such as a bystander. This extension is necessary because the base Encounter.participant.individual element does not permit Patient or Person references in FHIR R4/R4B.

Qualitative descriptor of a vital-sign reading, independent of its numeric value, e.g. a pulse described as weak or a breathing pattern described as labored.

Incident Priority

Dispatcher-assigned priority at call intake. Maps to incident.priority_level. Represents the INITIAL priority only — do not overwrite with on-scene EMT triage acuity.

Number of Patients

Number of patients associated with this incident/dispatch. Maps to incident.number_of_patients. Kept at the EpisodeOfCare (incident) level, not duplicated on child Encounters. If >1, expect multiple EMEpisodeOfCare/Patient chains linked via identifier:groupIncidentId.
