Resource Profile: EPAMHDDocumentReference - Detailed Descriptions

Active as of 2025-05-28

Definitions for the epa-mhd-document-reference resource profile.

Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be found here

0. DocumentReference
Definition

A reference to a document of any kind for any purpose. Provides metadata about the document so that the document can be discovered and managed. The scope of a document is any seralized object with a mime-type, so includes formal patient centric documents (CDA), cliical notes, scanned paper, and non-patient specific documents like policy text.

ShortA reference to a document
Comments

Usually, this is used for documents other than those defined by FHIR.

dom-5: If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a security label (contained.meta.security.empty())
dom-6: A resource should have narrative for robust management (text.`div`.exists())
2. DocumentReference.implicitRules
Definition

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

ShortA set of rules under which this content was created
Comments

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

Summarytrue
Invariantsele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
4. DocumentReference.modifierExtension
Definition

An Extension


May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it 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 is allowed to 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).

ShortExtensionExtensions that cannot be ignored
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.

Control0..0*
TypeExtension
Is Modifiertrue because Modifier extensions are expected to modify the meaning or interpretation of the resource that contains them
Summaryfalse
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.

6. DocumentReference.masterIdentifier
Definition

An identifier - identifies some entity uniquely and unambiguously. Typically this is used for business identifiers.


Document identifier as assigned by the source of the document. This identifier is specific to this version of the document. This unique identifier may be used elsewhere to identify this version of the document.

Requirements

The structure and format of this Id shall be consistent with the specification corresponding to the formatCode attribute. (e.g. for a DICOM standard document a 64-character numeric UID, for an HL7 CDA format a serialization of the CDA Document Id extension and root in the form "oid^extension", where OID is a 64 digits max, and the Id is a 16 UTF-8 char max. If the OID is coded without the extension then the '^' character shall not be included.).

    Definition

    Art des Dokuments (DocumentEntry.typeCode)


    Specifies the particular kind of document referenced (e.g. History and Physical, Discharge Summary, Progress Note). This usually equates to the purpose of making the document referenced.

    ShortArt des DokumentsKind of document (LOINC if possible)
    Comments

    Das Attribut typeCode ist gemäß IHE XDS zwingend gefordert und kann zusätzlich zu (bzw. zusammen mit) dem classCode zur genaueren Klassifizierung des Dokuments genutzt werden, z.B. kann ein Dokument mit classCode 'Befundberichte' durch den typeCode als 'Pathologiebefundbericht' oder als 'Ergebnisse bildgebender Diagnostik' gekennzeichnet werden. Das Attribut typeCode stellt keine Spezialisierung von classCode dar. Somit kann ein bestimmter typeCode mit verschiedenen classCodes zur Beschreibung unterschiedlicher Dokumente kombiniert werden. Zum Beispiel haben ein Röntgenbild und der dazugehörige Radiologie-Befund den gleichen typeCode 'Ergebnisse bildgebender Diagnostik' aber zwei unterschiedliche classCodes, 'Bilddaten' bzw.'Befundberichte'. Daraus folgt, dass ein Dokument sowohl einem classCode als auch einem typeCode explizit zugeordnet werden muss; die Zuordnung zu einem typeCode allein reicht nicht aus, weil hierüber kein implizites Mapping auf einen einzigen 'übergeordneten' classCode möglich ist.

    An identifier for the target resource.

There is no requirement that a Reference.identifier point to something that is actually exposed as a FHIR instance, but it SHALL point to a business concept that would be expected to be exposed as a FHIR instance, and that instance would need to be of a FHIR resource type allowed by the reference.

    ShortLogical reference, when literal reference is not known
    Comments

    When an identifier is provided in place of a reference, any system processing the reference will only be able to resolve the identifier to a reference if it understands the business context in which the identifier is used. Sometimes this is global (e.g. a national identifier) but often it is not. For this reason, none of the useful mechanisms described for working with references (e.g. chaining, includes) are possible, nor should servers be expected to be able resolve the reference. Servers may accept an identifier based reference untouched, resolve it, and/or reject it - see CapabilityStatement.rest.resource.referencePolicy.

    When both an identifier and a literal reference are provided, the literal reference is preferred. Applications processing the resource are allowed - but not required - to check that the identifier matches the literal reference

    Applications converting a logical reference to a literal reference may choose to leave the logical reference present, or remove it.

    Reference is intended to point to a structure that can potentially be expressed as a FHIR resource, though there is no need for it to exist as an actual FHIR resource instance - except in as much as an application wishes to actual find the target of the reference. The content referred to be the identifier must meet the logical constraints implied by any limitations on what resource types are permitted for the reference. For example, it would not be legitimate to send the identifier for a drug prescription if the type were Reference(Observation|DiagnosticReport). One of the use-cases for Reference.identifier is the situation where no FHIR representation exists (where the type is Reference (Any).

    ShortVertraulichkeitskennzeichnung und Datenkategorie des DokumentsDocument security-tags
    Comments

    Der Confidentiality Code drückt die Vertraulichkeitsstufe des Dokuments aus. Die Vertraulichkeitsstufe ist üblicherweise die Einschätzung des Autors oder des Einstellenden wie schützenswert das Dokument ist. Die Einschätzung des Autors oder Erstellers sollte erhalten bleiben, auch wenn die des Betroffenen (d.h. des Patienten) davon abweicht. Das heißt, dass man dem Dokument mehrere ConfidentialityCodes zuordnen können sollte. Dies unterstützt IHE XDS auch. Daher enthält das deutsche Value Set neben Codes der Autoreneinschätzung explizite Codes zur Betroffeneneinschätzung, die aus einem separaten, dediziertem Codesystem stammen. Die Datenkategorie des Dokuments entsprechend der ePA Legal Policy ist ebenso Bestandteil dieser Liste.


    The confidentiality codes can carry multiple vocabulary items. HL7 has developed an understanding of security and privacy tags that might be desirable in a Document Sharing environment, called HL7 Healthcare Privacy and Security Classification System (HCS). The following specification is recommended but not mandated, as the vocabulary bindings are an administrative domain responsibility. The use of this method is up to the policy domain such as the XDS Affinity Domain or other Trust Domain where all parties including sender and recipients are trusted to appropriately tag and enforce.

    In the HL7 Healthcare Privacy and Security Classification (HCS) there are code systems specific to Confidentiality, Sensitivity, Integrity, and Handling Caveats. Some values would come from a local vocabulary as they are related to workflow roles and special projects.

Zum Beispiel sollten Dokumente, die während eines ambulanten Falls in einem Krankenhaus entstehen, mit dem healthcareFacilityTypeCode für 'Krankenhaus' gekennzeichnet werden. Dabei ist zu beachten, dass es sich nicht notwendigerweise um die Art der Einrichtung handelt, in der das Dokument erstellt wurde. Beispielsweise ist es bei teleradiologischer Befundung eines Röntgenbildes für den healthcareFacilityTypeCode unerheblich, ob der befundende Radiologe in einem Krankenhaus oder in einer radiologischen Praxis ansässig ist; für den healthcareFacilityTypeCode wird die Einrichtungsart der Untersuchungsstelle (in der das Gerät betrieben wird) herangezogen.

    Using absolute URLs provides a stable scalable approach suitable for a cloud/web context, while using relative/logical references provides a flexible approach suitable for use when trading across closed eco-system boundaries. Absolute URLs do not need to point to a FHIR RESTful server, though this is the preferred approach. If the URL conforms to the structure "/[type]/[id]" then it should be assumed that the reference is to a FHIR RESTful server.

    Kennung des Patienten im Quellsystem (DocumentEntry.sourcePatientId)


    An identifier for the target resource. This is used when there is no way to reference the other resource directly, either because the entity it represents is not available through a FHIR server, or because there is no way for the author of the resource to convert a known identifier to an actual location. There is no requirement that a Reference.identifier point to something that is actually exposed as a FHIR instance, but it SHALL point to a business concept that would be expected to be exposed as a FHIR instance, and that instance would need to be of a FHIR resource type allowed by the reference.

    ShortKennung des Patienten im QuellsystemLogical reference, when literal reference is not known
    Comments

    n/a


    When an identifier is provided in place of a reference, any system processing the reference will only be able to resolve the identifier to a reference if it understands the business context in which the identifier is used. Sometimes this is global (e.g. a national identifier) but often it is not. For this reason, none of the useful mechanisms described for working with references (e.g. chaining, includes) are possible, nor should servers be expected to be able resolve the reference. Servers may accept an identifier based reference untouched, resolve it, and/or reject it - see CapabilityStatement.rest.resource.referencePolicy.

    When both an identifier and a literal reference are provided, the literal reference is preferred. Applications processing the resource are allowed - but not required - to check that the identifier matches the literal reference

    Applications converting a logical reference to a literal reference may choose to leave the logical reference present, or remove it.

    Reference is intended to point to a structure that can potentially be expressed as a FHIR resource, though there is no need for it to exist as an actual FHIR resource instance - except in as much as an application wishes to actual find the target of the reference. The content referred to be the identifier must meet the logical constraints implied by any limitations on what resource types are permitted for the reference. For example, it would not be legitimate to send the identifier for a drug prescription if the type were Reference(Observation|DiagnosticReport). One of the use-cases for Reference.identifier is the situation where no FHIR representation exists (where the type is Reference (Any).

    Comments

    Das Attribut typeCode ist gemäß IHE XDS zwingend gefordert und kann zusätzlich zu (bzw. zusammen mit) dem classCode zur genaueren Klassifizierung des Dokuments genutzt werden, z.B. kann ein Dokument mit classCode 'Befundberichte' durch den typeCode als 'Pathologiebefundbericht' oder als 'Ergebnisse bildgebender Diagnostik' gekennzeichnet werden. Das Attribut typeCode stellt keine Spezialisierung von classCode dar. Somit kann ein bestimmter typeCode mit verschiedenen classCodes zur Beschreibung unterschiedlicher Dokumente kombiniert werden. Zum Beispiel haben ein Röntgenbild und der dazugehörige Radiologie-Befund den gleichen typeCode 'Ergebnisse bildgebender Diagnostik' aber zwei unterschiedliche classCodes, 'Bilddaten' bzw.'Befundberichte'. Daraus folgt, dass ein Dokument sowohl einem classCode als auch einem typeCode explizit zugeordnet werden muss; die Zuordnung zu einem typeCode allein reicht nicht aus, weil hierüber kein implizites Mapping auf einen einzigen 'übergeordneten' classCode möglich ist.

    Der Confidentiality Code drückt die Vertraulichkeitsstufe des Dokuments aus. Die Vertraulichkeitsstufe ist üblicherweise die Einschätzung des Autors oder des Einstellenden wie schützenswert das Dokument ist. Die Einschätzung des Autors oder Erstellers sollte erhalten bleiben, auch wenn die des Betroffenen (d.h. des Patienten) davon abweicht. Das heißt, dass man dem Dokument mehrere ConfidentialityCodes zuordnen können sollte. Dies unterstützt IHE XDS auch. Daher enthält das deutsche Value Set neben Codes der Autoreneinschätzung explizite Codes zur Betroffeneneinschätzung, die aus einem separaten, dediziertem Codesystem stammen. Die Datenkategorie des Dokuments entsprechend der ePA Legal Policy ist ebenso Bestandteil dieser Liste.

    Die eventCode Liste wurde konzipiert, um den medizinischen Kontext von Dokumenten abzubilden. Jedem Dokument können beliebig viele eventCodes zugeordnet werden. Zum Beispiel kann ein OP-Bericht über die eventCodeList mit je einem kodierten Wert für die durchgeführte Prozedur (z.B. Blinddarmentfernung) und die vorliegende Erkrankung (z.B. Appendizitis) versehen werden. Dies ermöglicht die Suche nach Dokumenten, die mit einer bestimmten Prozedur oder Diagnose zusammenhängen. Über den medizinischen Kontext hinaus kann das Attribut auch allgemein zur Kontextualisierung und zur Inhaltszusammenfassung verwendet werden.

    DocumentEntry.healthcareFacilityTypeCode repräsentiert die Art der Einrichtung, in der die Tätigkeit stattfand, die zur Erzeugung des Dokuments führte. Zum Beispiel sollten Dokumente, die während eines ambulanten Falls in einem Krankenhaus entstehen, mit dem healthcareFacilityTypeCode für 'Krankenhaus' gekennzeichnet werden. Dabei ist zu beachten, dass es sich nicht notwendigerweise um die Art der Einrichtung handelt, in der das Dokument erstellt wurde. Beispielsweise ist es bei teleradiologischer Befundung eines Röntgenbildes für den healthcareFacilityTypeCode unerheblich, ob der befundende Radiologe in einem Krankenhaus oder in einer radiologischen Praxis ansässig ist; für den healthcareFacilityTypeCode wird die Einrichtungsart der Untersuchungsstelle (in der das Gerät betrieben wird) herangezogen.

      ShortA set of rules under which this content was created
      Comments

      Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

      Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically.

        Das Attribut typeCode ist gemäß IHE XDS zwingend gefordert und kann zusätzlich zu (bzw. zusammen mit) dem classCode zur genaueren Klassifizierung des Dokuments genutzt werden, z.B. kann ein Dokument mit classCode 'Befundberichte' durch den typeCode als 'Pathologiebefundbericht' oder als 'Ergebnisse bildgebender Diagnostik' gekennzeichnet werden. Das Attribut typeCode stellt keine Spezialisierung von classCode dar. Somit kann ein bestimmter typeCode mit verschiedenen classCodes zur Beschreibung unterschiedlicher Dokumente kombiniert werden. Zum Beispiel haben ein Röntgenbild und der dazugehörige Radiologie-Befund den gleichen typeCode 'Ergebnisse bildgebender Diagnostik' aber zwei unterschiedliche classCodes, 'Bilddaten' bzw.'Befundberichte'. Daraus folgt, dass ein Dokument sowohl einem classCode als auch einem typeCode explizit zugeordnet werden muss; die Zuordnung zu einem typeCode allein reicht nicht aus, weil hierüber kein implizites Mapping auf einen einzigen 'übergeordneten' classCode möglich ist.

                  ShortLogical reference, when literal reference is not known
                  Comments

                  When an identifier is provided in place of a reference, any system processing the reference will only be able to resolve the identifier to a reference if it understands the business context in which the identifier is used. Sometimes this is global (e.g. a national identifier) but often it is not. For this reason, none of the useful mechanisms described for working with references (e.g. chaining, includes) are possible, nor should servers be expected to be able resolve the reference. Servers may accept an identifier based reference untouched, resolve it, and/or reject it - see CapabilityStatement.rest.resource.referencePolicy.

                  When both an identifier and a literal reference are provided, the literal reference is preferred. Applications processing the resource are allowed - but not required - to check that the identifier matches the literal reference

                  Applications converting a logical reference to a literal reference may choose to leave the logical reference present, or remove it.

                  Reference is intended to point to a structure that can potentially be expressed as a FHIR resource, though there is no need for it to exist as an actual FHIR resource instance - except in as much as an application wishes to actual find the target of the reference. The content referred to be the identifier must meet the logical constraints implied by any limitations on what resource types are permitted for the reference. For example, it would not be legitimate to send the identifier for a drug prescription if the type were Reference(Observation|DiagnosticReport). One of the use-cases for Reference.identifier is the situation where no FHIR representation exists (where the type is Reference (Any).

                      Definition

                      A reference to a location at which the other resource is found. The reference may be a relative reference, in which case it is relative to the service base URL, or an absolute URL that resolves to the location where the resource is found. The reference may be version specific or not. If the reference is not to a FHIR RESTful server, then it should be assumed to be version specific. Internal fragment references (start with '#') refer to contained resources.

                      ShortLiteral reference, Relative, internal or absolute URL
                      Comments

                      Using absolute URLs provides a stable scalable approach suitable for a cloud/web context, while using relative/logical references provides a flexible approach suitable for use when trading across closed eco-system boundaries. Absolute URLs do not need to point to a FHIR RESTful server, though this is the preferred approach. If the URL conforms to the structure "/[type]/[id]" then it should be assumed that the reference is to a FHIR RESTful server.

                      The type is the Canonical URL of Resource Definition that is the type this reference refers to.

Absolute URLs are only allowed for logical models (and can only be used in references in logical models, not resources).

                      Definition

                      An identifier for the target resource. This is used when there is no way to reference the other resource directly, either because the entity it represents is not available through a FHIR server, or because there is no way for the author of the resource to convert a known identifier to an actual location. There is no requirement that a Reference.identifier point to something that is actually exposed as a FHIR instance, but it SHALL point to a business concept that would be expected to be exposed as a FHIR instance, and that instance would need to be of a FHIR resource type allowed by the reference.

                      ShortLogical reference, when literal reference is not known
                      Comments

                      When an identifier is provided in place of a reference, any system processing the reference will only be able to resolve the identifier to a reference if it understands the business context in which the identifier is used. Sometimes this is global (e.g. a national identifier) but often it is not. For this reason, none of the useful mechanisms described for working with references (e.g. chaining, includes) are possible, nor should servers be expected to be able resolve the reference. Servers may accept an identifier based reference untouched, resolve it, and/or reject it - see CapabilityStatement.rest.resource.referencePolicy.

                      When both an identifier and a literal reference are provided, the literal reference is preferred. Applications processing the resource are allowed - but not required - to check that the identifier matches the literal reference

                      Applications converting a logical reference to a literal reference may choose to leave the logical reference present, or remove it.

                      Reference is intended to point to a structure that can potentially be expressed as a FHIR resource, though there is no need for it to exist as an actual FHIR resource instance - except in as much as an application wishes to actual find the target of the reference. The content referred to be the identifier must meet the logical constraints implied by any limitations on what resource types are permitted for the reference. For example, it would not be legitimate to send the identifier for a drug prescription if the type were Reference(Observation|DiagnosticReport). One of the use-cases for Reference.identifier is the situation where no FHIR representation exists (where the type is Reference (Any).

                      NoteThis is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion)

This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

                            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.

Zum Beispiel kann ein OP-Bericht über die eventCodeList mit je einem kodierten Wert für die durchgeführte Prozedur (z.B. Blinddarmentfernung) und die vorliegende Erkrankung (z.B. Appendizitis) versehen werden. Dies ermöglicht die Suche nach Dokumenten, die mit einer bestimmten Prozedur oder Diagnose zusammenhängen. Über den medizinischen Kontext hinaus kann das Attribut auch allgemein zur Kontextualisierung und zur Inhaltszusammenfassung verwendet werden.

Note that a well-maintained code system does not need the version reported, because the meaning of codes is consistent across versions. However this cannot consistently be assured, and when the meaning is not guaranteed to be consistent, the version SHOULD be exchanged.

                                Where the terminology does not clearly define what string should be used to identify code system versions, the recommendation is to use the date (expressed in FHIR date format) on which that version was officially published as the version date.

Zum Beispiel sollten Dokumente, die während eines ambulanten Falls in einem Krankenhaus entstehen, mit dem healthcareFacilityTypeCode für 'Krankenhaus' gekennzeichnet werden. Dabei ist zu beachten, dass es sich nicht notwendigerweise um die Art der Einrichtung handelt, in der das Dokument erstellt wurde. Beispielsweise ist es bei teleradiologischer Befundung eines Röntgenbildes für den healthcareFacilityTypeCode unerheblich, ob der befundende Radiologe in einem Krankenhaus oder in einer radiologischen Praxis ansässig ist; für den healthcareFacilityTypeCode wird die Einrichtungsart der Untersuchungsstelle (in der das Gerät betrieben wird) herangezogen.

Note that a well-maintained code system does not need the version reported, because the meaning of codes is consistent across versions. However this cannot consistently be assured, and when the meaning is not guaranteed to be consistent, the version SHOULD be exchanged.

                                      Where the terminology does not clearly define what string should be used to identify code system versions, the recommendation is to use the date (expressed in FHIR date format) on which that version was officially published as the version date.

                                          The version of the code system which was used when choosing this code. Note that a well-maintained code system does not need the version reported, because the meaning of codes is consistent across versions. However this cannot consistently be assured, and when the meaning is not guaranteed to be consistent, the version SHOULD be exchanged.

                                          ShortVersion of the system - if relevant

                                          Where the terminology does not clearly define what string should be used to identify code system versions, the recommendation is to use the date (expressed in FHIR date format) on which that version was officially published as the version date.

                                            This is generally not the same as the Resource.text of the referenced resource. The purpose is to identify what's being referenced, not to fully describe it.
