Data Type Profile: TimingDE - Detailed Descriptions

Active as of 2026-11-11

Definitions for the TimingDE data type profile.

See the documentation on how to interpret the contents of this table

0. Timing
Definition

Specifies an event that may occur multiple times. Timing schedules are used to record when things are planned, expected or requested to occur. The most common usage is in dosage instructions for medications. They are also used when planning care of various kinds, and may be used for reporting the schedule to which past regular activities were carried out.

ShortA timing schedule that specifies an event that may occur multiple times
Comments

Describes the occurrence of an event that may occur multiple times. Timing schedules are used for specifying when events are expected or requested to occur, and may also be used to represent the summary of a past or ongoing event. For simplicity, the definitions of Timing components are expressed as 'future' events, but such components can also be used to describe historic or ongoing events.

A Timing schedule can be a list of events and/or criteria for when the event happens, which can be expressed in a structured form and/or as a code. When both event and a repeating specification are provided, the list of events should be understood as an interpretation of the information in the repeat structure.

Invariantsele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
2. Timing.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 manageable, 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).

ShortExtensions 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.

TypeExtension
Is Modifiertrue because Modifier extensions are expected to modify the meaning or interpretation of the element that contains them
Summarytrue
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.

Requirements

Many timing schedules are determined by regular repetitions.

Invariantsele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
tim-1: if there's a duration, there needs to be duration units (duration.empty() or durationUnit.exists())
tim-2: if there's a period, there needs to be period units (period.empty() or periodUnit.exists())
tim-4: duration SHALL be a non-negative value (duration.exists() implies duration >= 0)
tim-5: period SHALL be a non-negative value (period.exists() implies period >= 0)
tim-6: If there's a periodMax, there must be a period (periodMax.empty() or period.exists())
tim-7: If there's a durationMax, there must be a duration (durationMax.empty() or duration.exists())
tim-8: If there's a countMax, there must be a count (countMax.empty() or count.exists())
tim-9: If there's an offset, there must be a when (and not C, CM, CD, CV) (offset.empty() or (when.exists() and ((when in ('C' | 'CM' | 'CD' | 'CV')).not())))
tim-10: If there's a timeOfDay, there cannot be a when, or vice versa (timeOfDay.empty() or when.empty())
TimingSingleDosageForTimeOfDayWarning: If only timeOfDay is used (without dayOfWeek), the times should be modelled in a single Dosage element, both for daily dosing and in an interval combination. Multiple Dosage elements are only allowed if every element carries a distinct dose, including its data type. (( %resource.ofType(MedicationRequest).dosageInstruction.combine(%resource.ofType(MedicationDispense).dosageInstruction).combine(%resource.ofType(MedicationStatement).dosage) ).all( ( timing.repeat.dayOfWeek.empty() and timing.repeat.timeOfDay.exists() and timing.repeat.when.empty() ) implies ( ( ( %resource.ofType(MedicationRequest).dosageInstruction.combine(%resource.ofType(MedicationDispense).dosageInstruction).combine(%resource.ofType(MedicationStatement).dosage) ).where( timing.repeat.dayOfWeek.empty() and timing.repeat.timeOfDay.exists() and timing.repeat.when.empty() ).count() = 1 ) or ( ( %resource.ofType(MedicationRequest).dosageInstruction.combine(%resource.ofType(MedicationDispense).dosageInstruction).combine(%resource.ofType(MedicationStatement).dosage) ).where( timing.repeat.dayOfWeek.empty() and timing.repeat.timeOfDay.exists() and timing.repeat.when.empty() ).doseAndRate.dose.distinct().count() = ( %resource.ofType(MedicationRequest).dosageInstruction.combine(%resource.ofType(MedicationDispense).dosageInstruction).combine(%resource.ofType(MedicationStatement).dosage) ).where( timing.repeat.dayOfWeek.empty() and timing.repeat.timeOfDay.exists() and timing.repeat.when.empty() ).count() ) ) ))
TimingSingleDosageForWhenWarning: If only when is used (without dayOfWeek), the times of day should be modelled in a single Dosage element, both for daily dosing and in an interval combination. Multiple Dosage elements are only allowed if every element carries a distinct dose, including its data type. (( %resource.ofType(MedicationRequest).dosageInstruction.combine(%resource.ofType(MedicationDispense).dosageInstruction).combine(%resource.ofType(MedicationStatement).dosage) ).all( ( timing.repeat.dayOfWeek.empty() and timing.repeat.when.exists() and timing.repeat.timeOfDay.empty() ) implies ( ( ( %resource.ofType(MedicationRequest).dosageInstruction.combine(%resource.ofType(MedicationDispense).dosageInstruction).combine(%resource.ofType(MedicationStatement).dosage) ).where( timing.repeat.dayOfWeek.empty() and timing.repeat.when.exists() and timing.repeat.timeOfDay.empty() ).count() = 1 ) or ( ( %resource.ofType(MedicationRequest).dosageInstruction.combine(%resource.ofType(MedicationDispense).dosageInstruction).combine(%resource.ofType(MedicationStatement).dosage) ).where( timing.repeat.dayOfWeek.empty() and timing.repeat.when.exists() and timing.repeat.timeOfDay.empty() ).doseAndRate.dose.distinct().count() = ( %resource.ofType(MedicationRequest).dosageInstruction.combine(%resource.ofType(MedicationDispense).dosageInstruction).combine(%resource.ofType(MedicationStatement).dosage) ).where( timing.repeat.dayOfWeek.empty() and timing.repeat.when.exists() and timing.repeat.timeOfDay.empty() ).count() ) ) ))
TimingBoundsUnitMatchesCodeWarning: boundsDuration.unit must match the UCUM boundsDuration.code (e.g. 'Woche(n)' only with code='wk'). (bounds.ofType(Duration).exists().not() or ( ( bounds.ofType(Duration).code = 'd' implies ( bounds.ofType(Duration).unit = 'Tag(e)' or bounds.ofType(Duration).unit = 'Tag' or bounds.ofType(Duration).unit = 'Tage' ) ) and ( bounds.ofType(Duration).code = 'wk' implies ( bounds.ofType(Duration).unit = 'Woche(n)' or bounds.ofType(Duration).unit = 'Woche' or bounds.ofType(Duration).unit = 'Wochen' ) ) and ( bounds.ofType(Duration).code = 'mo' implies ( bounds.ofType(Duration).unit = 'Monat(e)' or bounds.ofType(Duration).unit = 'Monat' or bounds.ofType(Duration).unit = 'Monate' ) ) and ( bounds.ofType(Duration).code = 'a' implies ( bounds.ofType(Duration).unit = 'Jahr(e)' or bounds.ofType(Duration).unit = 'Jahr' or bounds.ofType(Duration).unit = 'Jahre' ) ) ))
TimingFreqOrPeriodGtOneWarning: If frequency and period are given together, only one of them may exceed 1 - either the frequency including frequencyMax or the period including periodMax. A statement in which both exceed 1, such as 'six times within three hours', is hard to express in language and is not needed: the same meaning can be conveyed by adapting the period, e.g. 'every 30 minutes'. This also rules out combining a variable frequency with a variable period, such as '1 to 3 times every 2 to 3 days', because frequencyMax and periodMax are then both greater than 1. (/* Detect Interval only */ ( timeOfDay.empty() and when.empty() and dayOfWeek.empty() and frequency.exists() and period.exists() ) implies ( ( (frequency > 1 or (frequencyMax.exists() and frequencyMax > 1)) implies ( period = 1 and (periodMax.empty() or periodMax = 1) ) ) and ( (period > 1 or (periodMax.exists() and periodMax > 1)) implies ( frequency = 1 and (frequencyMax.empty() or frequencyMax = 1) ) ) ))
TimingValuesPositiveWarning: period, periodMax, boundsDuration.value and boundsRange.high.value should be greater than 0; boundsRange.low.value should not be negative. ((period.exists() implies period > 0) and (periodMax.exists() implies periodMax > 0) and bounds.ofType(Duration).value.all($this > 0) and bounds.ofType(Range).low.value.all($this >= 0) and bounds.ofType(Range).high.value.all($this > 0))
tim-1: if there's a duration, there needs to be duration units (duration.empty() or durationUnit.exists())
tim-2: if there's a period, there needs to be period units (period.empty() or periodUnit.exists())
tim-4: duration SHALL be a non-negative value (duration.exists() implies duration >= 0)
tim-5: period SHALL be a non-negative value (period.exists() implies period >= 0)
tim-6: If there's a periodMax, there must be a period (periodMax.empty() or period.exists())
tim-7: If there's a durationMax, there must be a duration (durationMax.empty() or duration.exists())
tim-8: If there's a countMax, there must be a count (countMax.empty() or count.exists())
tim-9: If there's an offset, there must be a when (and not C, CM, CD, CV) (offset.empty() or (when.exists() and ((when in ('C' | 'CM' | 'CD' | 'CV')).not())))
tim-10: If there's a timeOfDay, there cannot be a when, or vice versa (timeOfDay.empty() or when.empty())

This also rules out combining a variable frequency with a variable period, such as '1 to 3 times every 2 to 3 days', because frequencyMax and periodMax are then both greater than 1. (/* Detect Interval only */ ( timeOfDay.empty() and when.empty() and dayOfWeek.empty() and frequency.exists() and period.exists() ) implies ( ( (frequency > 1 or (frequencyMax.exists() and frequencyMax > 1)) implies ( period = 1 and (periodMax.empty() or periodMax = 1) ) ) and ( (period > 1 or (periodMax.exists() and periodMax > 1)) implies ( frequency = 1 and (frequencyMax.empty() or frequencyMax = 1) ) ) ))

0. Timing
Definition

Specifies an event that may occur multiple times. Timing schedules are used to record when things are planned, expected or requested to occur. The most common usage is in dosage instructions for medications. They are also used when planning care of various kinds, and may be used for reporting the schedule to which past regular activities were carried out.

ShortA timing schedule that specifies an event that may occur multiple times
Comments

Describes the occurrence of an event that may occur multiple times. Timing schedules are used for specifying when events are expected or requested to occur, and may also be used to represent the summary of a past or ongoing event. For simplicity, the definitions of Timing components are expressed as 'future' events, but such components can also be used to describe historic or ongoing events.

A Timing schedule can be a list of events and/or criteria for when the event happens, which can be expressed in a structured form and/or as a code. When both event and a repeating specification are provided, the list of events should be understood as an interpretation of the information in the repeat structure.

Definition

If present, indicates that the duration is a range - so to perform the action between [duration] and [durationMax] time length.

ShortHow long when it happens (Max)
Comments

For some events the duration is part of the definition of the event (e.g. IV infusions, where the duration is implicit in the specified quantity and rate). For others, it's part of the timing specification (e.g. exercise).

73. Timing.code
Definition

A code for the timing schedule (or just text in code.text). Some codes such as BID are ubiquitous, but many institutions define their own additional codes. If a code is provided, the code is understood to be a complete statement of whatever is specified in the structured timing data, and either the code or the data may be used to interpret the Timing, with the exception that .repeat.bounds still applies over the code (and is not contained in the code).

ShortBID | TID | QID | AM | PM | QD | QOD | +
Comments

BID etc. are defined as 'at institutionally specified times'. For example, an institution may choose that BID is "always at 7am and 6pm". If it is inappropriate for this choice to be made, the code BID should not be used. Instead, a distinct organization-specific code should be used in place of the HL7-defined BID code and/or a structured representation should be used (in this case, specifying the two event times).
