Scope and Usage

The Danish IPA Core Patient profile is intended to encapsulate the combined data model of a patient as used in a Danish context DKCorePatient and as used in an international context International Patient Access (IPA) specification. The profile does this by extending the definition for dk-core-patient and imposing the IPA-Patient profile.

Compabability Considerations

Marital status in DKCorePatient is aligned with the Danish CPR registry definition and extends the official FHIR valueset with additional values (see valueset DKCoreMaritalStatus for details). These values are not expected to be understood outside Denmark and should be mapped to other values that match the use case at hand.

ext-1	error	**ALL** extensions	Must have either extensions or value[x], not both : extension.exists() != value.exists()
marital-status-unknown-usage	warning	Patient	The constraint ensures that only permitted forms of marriage can be used in the Danish context, as there will be no authority for other forms. See https://cpr.dk/borgere/hvad-staar-der-om-mig-i-cpr-registerindsigt/hvad-og-hvem-er-registreret-i-cpr-og-hvem-opdaterer-oplysninger-om-dig-i-cpr/ : maritalStatus.coding.where(code = 'P' and system = 'http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-MaritalStatus').empty() or maritalStatus.coding.where(code = 'A' and system = 'http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-MaritalStatus').empty()	Marital status is legally unknown in Denmark
