2. CarePlan.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 its narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

Definition

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, nor can they have their own independent transaction scope. This is allowed to be a Parameters resource if and only if it is referenced by a resource that provides context/meaning.

ShortContained, inline Resources

This is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion). It is best practice for the identifier to only appear on a single resource instance, however business practices may occasionally dictate that multiple resource instances with the same identifier can exist - possibly even with different resource types.

16. CarePlan.identifier:PLAC.value
Definition

The portion of the identifier typically relevant to the user and which is unique within the context of the system.

ShortThe value that is unique
Comments

If the value is a full URI, then the system SHALL be urn:ietf:rfc:3986. The value's primary purpose is computational mapping. As a result, it may be normalized for comparison purposes (e.g. removing non-significant whitespace, dashes, etc.) A value formatted for human display can be conveyed using the http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/rendered-value). Identifier.value is to be treated as case sensitive unless knowledge of the Identifier.system allows the processer to be confident that non-case-sensitive processing is safe.

18. CarePlan.status
Definition

Indicates whether the plan is currently being acted upon, represents future intentions or is now a historical record.

Shortdraft | active | on-hold | revoked | completed | entered-in-error | unknown
Comments

The unknown code is not to be used to convey other statuses. The unknown code should be used when one of the statuses applies, but the authoring system doesn't know the current state of the care plan.

This element is labeled as a modifier because the status contains the code entered-in-error that marks the plan as not currently valid.

20. CarePlan.intent
Definition

Indicates the level of authority/intentionality associated with the care plan and where the care plan fits into the workflow chain.

Shortproposal | plan | order | option | directive
Comments

This element is labeled as a modifier because the intent alters when and how the resource is actually applicable. This element is expected to be immutable. E.g. A "proposal" instance should never change to be a "plan" instance or "order" instance. Instead, a new instance 'basedOn' the prior instance should be created with the new 'intent' value.

Control1..1
BindingThe codes SHALL be taken from CarePlanIntenthttp://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/care-plan-intent|5.0.0

Comments

Standard extension exists (http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/resource-pertainsToGoal) that allows goals to be referenced from any of the referenced resources in CarePlan.activity.plannedActivityReference.
The goal should be visible when the resource referenced by CarePlan.activity.plannedActivityReference is viewed independently from the CarePlan. Requests that are pointed to by a CarePlan using this element should not point to this CarePlan using the "basedOn" element. i.e. Requests that are part of a CarePlan are not "based on" the CarePlan.

Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

Comments

Contained resources do not have a narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied).

Comments

This element deals only with general categories of identifiers. It SHOULD not be used for codes that correspond 1..1 with the Identifier.system. Some identifiers may fall into multiple categories due to common usage. Where the system is known, a type is unnecessary because the type is always part of the system definition. However systems often need to handle identifiers where the system is not known. There is not a 1:1 relationship between type and system, since many different systems have the same type.

ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (extension.exists() != value.exists())
108. CarePlan.activity.performedActivity
Definition

Identifies the activity that was performed. For example, an activity could be patient education, exercise, or a medication administration. The reference to an "event" resource, such as Procedure or Encounter or Observation, represents the activity that was performed. The requested activity can be conveyed using the CarePlan.activity.plannedActivityReference (a reference to a “request” resource).

ShortResults of the activity (concept, or Appointment, Encounter, Procedure, etc.)
Comments

Note that this should not duplicate the activity status (e.g. completed or in progress). The activity performed is independent of the outcome of the related goal(s). For example, if the goal is to achieve a target body weight of 150 lbs and an activity is defined to exercise, then the activity performed could be amount and intensity of exercise performed whereas the goal outcome is an observation for the actual body weight measured.

112. CarePlan.activity.plannedActivityReference
Definition

The details of the proposed activity represented in a specific resource.

ShortActivity that is intended to be part of the care plan
Comments

Standard extension exists (http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/resource-pertainsToGoal) that allows goals to be referenced from any of the referenced resources in CarePlan.activity.plannedActivityReference.
The goal should be visible when the resource referenced by CarePlan.activity.plannedActivityReference is viewed independently from the CarePlan. Requests that are pointed to by a CarePlan using this element should not point to this CarePlan using the "basedOn" element. i.e. Requests that are part of a CarePlan are not "based on" the CarePlan.
