Scope and usage

The Danish Core Patient profile is intended to encapsulate the most common and basic data model of patients in Danish healthcare systems covering both primary sector, secondary sector (specialty doctors and hospitals) and municipality cases. As such the profile should be usable in most Danish contexts. Note that the profile is usable for those that receive health and social care in municipalities, even in contexts where they are more commonly known as citizens ([DA] borgere).

Patient identifiers

This patient profile currently only reflects the use of the established national danish patient identifiers called CPR and (for patients without or with unknown CPR number) the use of replacement CPR numbers ([DA] Erstatnings-CPR-numre eller eCPR). Both national X-eCPR numbers issued by the Danish Health Data Authority ([DA] Sundhedsdatastyrelsen) and D-eCPR numbers primarily issued locally by one of the five danish regions are supported by this profile. More official identifiers are expected to be used and profiled in the future, eg:

• eID
• catastrophe CPR numbers.

CPR-identifier

The element identifier.type describes the specific purpose of an identifier. It is desired to use the code 'NNDNK' from the CodeSystem IdentifierType as the type for DkCoreCprIdentifier. However, it is currently not recommended to use this code, due to known problems with the validation tool when validating the code 'NNDNK'.

eCPR-identifier

The element Patient.identifier includes two slices to represent eCPR. Each slice includes an identifier with requirements for the specific eCPR:

• For X-eCPR, the DkCoreXeCprIdentifier must be used, which includes an OID as system and an invariant describing the requirements for the structure of the identifier, based on guidelines from Danish Health Data Authority. An example of usage can be seen in here.
• For D-eCPR, the DkCoreDeCprIdentifier must be used, which includes a ValueSet of OID's that may be used as system. The OIDs represent the D-eCPR in general and D-eCPR for each of the five regions. Further, the identifier includes an invariant describing the requirements for the structure of the identifier, based on guidelines from Danish Health Data Authority. An example of usage can be seen in here.

In case it is necessary to include an eCPR which is not an X-eCPR or a D-eCPR, it is recommended to add a new slice with the relevant other system and the eCPR identifier from that system. This may be necessary for small practices or due to legacy reasons. An example of this can be seen here.

Handling CPR registry civilstand and status values

In the Danish CPR registry, a civilstand and a status attribute exist. The civilstand attribute contains information about marital status as well as deceased status. The status value contains information about a persons whereabouts e.g. living in Denmark or Greenland with known or unknown address, disappearance, and death. Most of the status values are used to inform about the reason for a CPR identifier being inactive.

In FHIR, this information is separated into different attributes. As a consequence the following decisions have been made:

• CPR status values except for deceased status are not represented. Data in the health sector is typically not communicated, relating to inactive CPR-identifiers. If information about whether people live in Denmark or Greenland is important, this can be represented in the Patient.addresss attribute. Deceased status is represented in Patient.deceased
• Civilstand values are represented in Patient.maritalStatus except for the value 'D' død (dead). Death is registered in Patient.deceased. Patient.maritalStatus uses a standard FHIR ValueSet. However a few of the Danish civilstatus values cannot be converted (P and O). Here the FHIR ValueSet is extended with the CPR-registry values.

The tabel below shows how to convert between CPR-registry civilstand/status and FHIR representation.

Use of security label on patients

Danish citizens that have requested name and address protection (Navne- og adressebeskyttelse) should be labeled with the security label as follows:

 <Patient xmlns="http://hl7.org/fhir">
  <meta>
    <security>
      <system value="http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-Confidentiality"/>
      <code value="R"/>
      <display value="Restricted"/>
    </security>
  </meta>
...  [snip] ...
</Patient>

Use of this label should be interpreted according to the law, roughly meaning that only personnel using systems in public/official affairs are allowed to see name and address for the patient/citizen.

Unknown values or Absent values

There may be scenarios where it is not possible to supply all values as required by this profile. For such cases it is possible to specify a Data Absent Reason (DAR) extension which enables data fields to be supplied where data is not available. An example of this can be seen here. The use of DAR is not restricted to the patient profile.
