Artifacts Summary

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

Structures: Resource Profiles

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

Zimbabwe Encounter

An interaction between a patient and one or more healthcare providers at a Zimbabwe health facility (e.g. an outpatient visit or inpatient admission).

Zimbabwe Location

Location profile for Zimbabwe: a physical place where care is delivered, managed by a Zimbabwe Organization.

Zimbabwe Organization

Organization profile for Zimbabwe, used primarily for health facilities (hospitals, clinics, health centres).

Zimbabwe Patient

Patient profile for Zimbabwe core data: demographics, national identifiers, citizenship, place of birth, contact details and preferred language.

Zimbabwe Practitioner

Practitioner profile for Zimbabwe: a health worker with a professional council registration number and core demographics.

Zimbabwe Related Person

A person related to a Zimbabwe patient (e.g. next of kin, guardian or emergency contact).

Structures: Extension Definitions

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

Patient Citizenship

The patient's legal status as citizen of a country.

Terminology: Value Sets

These define sets of codes used by systems conforming to this implementation guide.

Gender Value Set

Administrative Gender

MaritalStatus Value Set

Administrative Marital Status

Zimbabwe Country (Nationality) Value Set

Countries used for citizenship/nationality in Zimbabwe (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 aligned).

Zimbabwe District Value Set

Districts (and metropolitan sub-units) of Zimbabwe, coded by their 4-character district code (province + district).

Zimbabwe Health Facility Type Value Set

Tiers of health facility in the Zimbabwe public health system.

Zimbabwe Language Value Set

Official languages of Zimbabwe (per the 2013 Constitution, Section 6), expressed as BCP-47 codes.

Zimbabwe Province Value Set

The ten provinces of Zimbabwe.

Terminology: Code Systems

These define new code systems used by systems conforming to this implementation guide.

Zimbabwe Country (Nationality) Code System

Countries used for citizenship/nationality in Zimbabwe. Codes are aligned with ISO 3166-1 alpha-2. Defined locally so terminology validation does not depend on ISO 3166 server support; extend as needed.

Zimbabwe District Code System

Districts (and metropolitan sub-units) of Zimbabwe, from the MOHCC district table. The concept code is the 4-character district code = 2-digit province code (01-10, per ZimProvinceCS) + 2-character zero-padded district code. The 'provinceCode' property gives the parent province's 2-digit code. NOTE: Harare city units were re-parented from the source ProvinceID=1 (Manicaland) to Harare (01); a junk 'Harare' row (ProvinceID 7) and other non-standard rows were excluded.

Zimbabwe Health Facility Type Code System

Tiers of health facility in the Zimbabwe public health system.

Zimbabwe Province Code System

The ten provinces of Zimbabwe. The 'provinceCode' property gives the province's two-digit code (01-10), which forms the leading segment of district codes (province+district, e.g. 0132) and facility codes (province+district+facility, e.g. 013224). Concept codes are also aligned with ISO 3166-2:ZW subdivisions (e.g. HA = ZW-HA).

Terminology: Naming Systems

These define identifier and/or code system identities used by systems conforming to this implementation guide.

Zimbabwe Health Facility Code Namespace

Identifier system for Zimbabwe health facility codes (ZW + province + district + facility number). PROVISIONAL URL pending the official MOHCC system.

Zimbabwe National Identity Namespace

Identifier system for the Zimbabwe National Identity number. PROVISIONAL URL pending the official MOHCC system.

Zimbabwe Passport Number Namespace

Identifier system for Zimbabwe passport numbers. PROVISIONAL URL pending the official system.

Zimbabwe Patient Health ID (PHID) Namespace

Identifier system for the Patient Health ID (PHID) issued by the Impilo EMR. PROVISIONAL URL pending the official MOHCC / Impilo system.

Zimbabwe Practitioner Registration Number Namespace

Identifier system for professional council registration numbers of Zimbabwe practitioners. PROVISIONAL URL pending the official system.

Example Zimbabwean Patient (Tinashe Muti)

A Zimbabwean patient with place of birth, citizenship and national/passport identifiers.

Example Zimbabwean Practitioner

A registered nurse with a council registration number and national identity.
