Patient Summary composition. A composition is a set of healthcare-related information that is assembled together into a single logical document that provides a single coherent statement of meaning, establishes its own context and that has clinical attestation with regard to who is making the statement. While a Composition defines the structure, it does not actually contain the content: rather the full content of a document is contained in a Bundle, of which the Composition is the first resource contained.

While the focus of this specification is on patient-specific clinical statements, this resource can also apply to other healthcare-related statements such as study protocol designs, healthcare invoices and other activities that are not necessarily patient-specific or clinical.

• Composition (IPS)

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.

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.

The base language in which the resource is written.

HIQA PS 19.1.6 Document language (Optional).

A human language.

R5: Composition.version (new:string)

Element Composition.version has a context of Composition based on following the parent source element upwards and mapping to Composition. Element Composition.version has no mapping targets in FHIR R4. Typically, this is because the element has been added (is a new element). While each resource, including the composition itself, has its own version identifier, this is a formal identifier for the logical version of the Composition as a whole. It would remain constant if the resources were moved to a new server, and all got new individual resource versions, for example.

An Extension

Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.

The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.

This extension applies to the Composition resource and is used to represent an intended recipient of the composition.

An Extension

Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.

The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.

This extension provides a reference to the DiagnosticReport instance that is associated with this Composition.

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).

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.

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.

Identifiers assigned to this document by the performer or other systems. Should remain stable across versions of the report.

HIQA PS 19.1.2 Document identifier (Mandatory 1..*). R4 Composition.identifier is 0..1; the Bundle identifier (IECoreBundlePatientSummary, 1..1) carries the stable document identifier.

The workflow/clinical status of this composition. The status is a marker for the clinical standing of the document.

HIQA PS 19.1.5 Document status (Mandatory 1..1): e.g. preliminary, final, amended.

The workflow/clinical status of the composition.

Need to be able to mark interim, amended, or withdrawn compositions or documents.

Specifies that this composition refer to a Patient Summary

HIQA PS 19.1.7 Document type (Mandatory 1..1): LOINC 60591-5 Patient summary (inherited).

Type of a composition.

Key metadata element describing the composition, used in searching/filtering.

Who or what the composition is about. In general a composition can be about a person, (patient or healthcare practitioner), a device (e.g. a machine) or even a group of subjects (such as a document about a herd of livestock, or a set of patients that share a common exposure). For the PS the subject is always the patient.

HIQA PS 19.1.1 Document subject (Mandatory 1..1); PS Section 1 Patient Details.

Essential metadata for searching for the composition. Identifies who and/or what the composition/document is about.

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.

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 composition editing time, when the composition was last logically changed by the author.

HIQA PS 19.1.4 Document date (Mandatory 1..1).

dateTime is used for tracking, organizing versions and searching. Note that this is the time of authoring. When packaged in a document, Bundle.timestamp is the date of packaging.

Identifies who is responsible for the information in the Patient Summary, not necessarily who typed it in.

HIQA PS 19.1.3 Document author (Mandatory 1..*): person, organisation or device.

Identifies who is responsible for the content.

Official human-readable label for the composition.

In those cases medications are documented in the Patient Summary as medication statements or medication requests. This section requires either an entry indicating the subject is known not to be on any relevant medication; either an entry indicating that no information is available about medications; or entries summarizing the subject's relevant medications.

Additional notes that apply to the section (but not to specific resource).

This extension SHALL NOT be used if the resource already has standard 'note' element (or equivalent) of type Annotation on the same element

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).

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.

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.

The label for this particular section. This will be part of the rendered content for the document, and is often used to build a table of contents.

The title identifies the section for a human reader. The title must be consistent with the narrative of the resource that is the target of the section.content reference. Generally, sections SHOULD have titles, but in some documents, it is unnecessary or inappropriate. Typically, this is where a section has subsections that have their own adequately distinguishing title, or documents that only have a single section. Most Implementation Guides will make section title to be a required element.

Section headings are often standardized for different types of documents. They give guidance to humans on how the document is organized.

A code identifying the kind of content contained within the section. This must be consistent with the section title.

The code identifies the section for an automated processor of the document. This is particularly relevant when using profiles to control the structure of the document.

If the section has content (instead of sub-sections), the section.code does not change the meaning or interpretation of the resource that is the content of the section in the comments for the section.code.

Classification of a section of a composition/document.

Provides computable standardized labels to topics within the document.

A human-readable narrative that contains the attested content of the section, used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative.

Document profiles may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

EPS Results entry slice

If there are no entries in the list, an emptyReason SHOULD be provided.

Results collected on the patient or produced on in-vitro biologic specimens.

If there are no entries in the list, an emptyReason SHOULD be provided.

DiagnosticReport resource to represent diagnostic test and procedure reports in a patient summary

If there are no entries in the list, an emptyReason SHOULD be provided.

A nested sub-section within this section.

Nested sections are primarily used to help human readers navigate to particular portions of the document.

The History of Procedures Section contains a description of the patient past procedures that are pertinent to the scope of this document. Procedures may refer for example to:

  1. Invasive Diagnostic procedure:e.g. Cardiac catheterization; (the results of these procedure are documented in the results section)

  2. Therapeutic procedure: e.g. dialysis;

  3. Surgical procedure: e.g. appendectomy

HIQA PS Section 9 Procedures, Operations and Treatments: 9.2 empty reason (Required), 9.3 record entry (Required 0..*). Entries SHOULD also conform to IECoreProcedure.
