Scope and Usage

This is FHIR Profile is mapped from the Smoking Status CCDA Entry Template : HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA R2: IHE Health Story Consolidation, DSTU R1.1, Section 5.75 Smoking Status Observation [observation: templateId 2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.22.4.78 (open)]

This clinical statement represents a patient's current smoking status. The vocabulary selected for this clinical statement is the best approximation of the statuses in Meaningful Use (MU) Stage 1.

If the patient is a smoker (77176002), the effectiveTime/low element must be present. If the patient is an ex-smoker (8517006), both the effectiveTime/low and effectiveTime/high element must be present.

The smoking status value set includes a special code to communicate if the smoking status is unknown which is different from how Consolidated CDA generally communicates unknown information.
