Resource Profile: CH PDQm Patient Profile for $match Input

The PDQm Patient Profile for $match Input SHALL be provided as input to the ITI-119 transaction.

• While it is not REQUIRED that the input to $match be a valid FHIR instance, it is RECOMMENDED to supply as many elements as possible to facilitate matching.
• modifierExtension and implicitRules SHALL not be specified.
• The ChEprFhirBirthName profile is available to hold the mother's maiden name
• The AHVN13 of the patient MAY be provided as an identifier to identify a patient by the minimal demographics and the social security number

Usages:

• Use this Profile: CH PDQm Match Input Parameters Profile

You can also check for usages in the FHIR IG Statistics
