2.42 Resource Composition - Content

Structured Documents Work GroupMaturity Level: 2 Trial UseSecurity Category: Not Classified Compartments: Device, Encounter, Patient, Practitioner, RelatedPerson

A set of healthcare-related information that is assembled together into a single logical package 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. A Composition defines the structure and narrative content necessary for a document. However, a Composition alone does not constitute a document. Rather, the Composition must be the first entry in a Bundle where Bundle.type=document, and any other resources referenced from Composition must be included as subsequent entries in the Bundle (for example Patient, Practitioner, Encounter, etc.).

2.42.1 Scope and Usage

A Composition is the basic structure from which FHIR Documents - immutable bundles with attested narrative - are built. A single logical composition may be associated with a series of derived documents, each of which is a frozen copy of the composition.

Note: EN 13606 uses the term "Composition" to refer to a single commit to an EHR system, and offers some common examples: a composition containing a consultation note, a progress note, a report or a letter, an investigation report, a prescription form or a set of bedside nursing observations. Using Composition for an attested EHR commit is a valid use of the Composition resource, but for FHIR purposes, it would be usual to make more granular updates with individual provenance statements.

The Clinical Document profile constrains Composition to specify a clinical document (matching CDA ). See also the comparison with CDA.

2.42.2 Boundaries and Relationships

Composition is a structure for grouping information for purposes of persistence and attestability. There are several other grouping structures in FHIR with distinct purposes:

  • The List resource - enumerates a flat collection of resources and provides features for managing the collection. While a particular List instance may represent a "snapshot", from a business process perspective, the notion of "list" is dynamic – items are added and removed over time. The List resource references other resources. Lists may be curated and have specific business meaning.
  • The Group resource - defines a group of specific people, animals, devices, etc. by enumerating them, or by describing qualities that group members have. The Group resource refers to other resources, possibly implicitly. Groups are intended to be acted upon or observed as a whole (e.g., performing therapy on a group, calculating risk for a group, etc.). This resource will commonly be used for public health (e.g., describing an at-risk population), clinical trials (e.g., defining a test subject pool) and similar purposes.
  • The Bundle resource - is an infrastructure container for a group of resources. It does not have narrative and is used to group collections of resources for transmission, persistence or processing (e.g., messages, documents, transactions, query responses, etc.). The content of bundles is typically algorithmically determined for a particular exchange or persistence purpose.
  • The Composition resource - defines 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. The Composition resource provides the basic structure of a FHIR document. The full content of the document is expressed using a Bundle containing the Composition and its entries.

The Composition resource organizes clinical and administrative content into sections, each of which contains a narrative, and references other resources for supporting data. The narrative content of the various sections in a Composition are supported by the resources referenced in the section entries. The complete set of content to make up a document includes the Composition resource together with various resources pointed to or indirectly connected to the Composition, all gathered together into a Bundle for transport and persistence. Resources associated with the following list of Composition references SHALL be included in the Bundle:

Other resources referred to by those resources MAY be included in the Bundle at the discretion of the authoring system as documented in the system's operation definition (such as $document operation), or as specified by any applicable profiles.

2.42.3 Background and Context

2.42.3.1 Composition Status Codes

Every composition has a status element, which describes the status of the content of the composition, taken from this list of codes:

2.42.3.2 The workflow/clinical status of the composition.

preliminaryThis is a preliminary composition or document (also known as initial or interim). The content may be incomplete or unverified.
finalThis version of the composition is complete and verified by an appropriate person and no further work is planned. Any subsequent updates would be on a new version of the composition.
amendedThe composition content or the referenced resources have been modified (edited or added to) subsequent to being released as "final" and the composition is complete and verified by an authorized person.
entered-in-errorThe composition or document was originally created/issued in error, and this is an amendment that marks that the entire series should not be considered as valid.

Composition status generally only moves down through this list - it moves from preliminary to final and then it may progress to amended. Note that in many workflows, only final compositions are made available and the preliminary status is not used.

A very few compositions are created entirely in error in the workflow - usually the composition concerns the wrong patient or is written by the wrong author, and the error is only detected after the composition has been used or documents have been derived from it. To support resolution of this case, the composition is updated to be marked as entered-in-error and a new derived document can be created. This means that the entire series of derived documents is now considered to be created in error and systems receiving derived documents based on retracted compositions SHOULD remove data taken from earlier documents from routine use and/or take other appropriate actions. Systems are not required to provide this workflow or support documents derived from retracted compositions, but they SHALL NOT ignore a status of entered-in-error. Note that systems that handle compositions or derived documents and don't support the error status need to define some other way of handling compositions that are created in error; while this is not a common occurrence, some clinical systems have no provision for removing erroneous information from a patient's record, and there is no way for a user to know that it is not fit for use - this is not safe.

2.42.3.3 Note for CDA aware readers

Many users of this specification are familiar with the Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) and related specifications. CDA is a primary design input to the Composition resource (other principal inputs are other HL7 document specifications and EN13606). There are three important structural differences between CDA and the Composition resource:

  • A composition is a logical construct- its identifier matches to the CDA ClinicalDocument.setId. Composition resources are wrapped into Document structures, for exchange of the whole package (the composition and its parts), and this wrapped, sealed entity is equivalent to a CDA document, where the Bundle.id is equivalent in function to ClinicalDocument.id (but it is not identical when interconverting, since it's a transform between them).
  • The composition section defines a section (or sub-section) of the document, but unlike CDA, the section entries are actually references to other resources that hold the supporting data content for the section. This design means that the data can be reused in many other ways.
  • Unlike CDA, the context defined in the Composition (the confidentiality, subject, author, event, event period and encounter) apply to the composition and do not specifically apply to the resources referenced from the section.entry. There is no context flow model in FHIR, so each resource referenced from within a Composition expresses its own individual context. In this way, clinical content can safely be extracted from the composition.

In addition, note that both the code lists (e.g., Composition.status) and the Composition resource are mapped to HL7 v3 and/or CDA.

cmp-2Rule Composition.sectionA section can only have an emptyReason if it is emptyemptyReason.empty() or entry.empty()

2.42.6 Notes:

  • The author and the attester are often the same person, but this might not be the case in some clinical workflows.
  • The attester attests contents of the document resource, the subject resource and the resources referred to in the Composition.section.content references. Because documents are often derived Compositions and the attestation from the composition is held to apply to the document, the method for presenting a document should be used when/if attesters review the content of the composition.
  • The custodian is responsible for the maintenance of the composition and any documents derived from it. With regard to the documents, they are responsible for the policy regarding persistence of the documents. Although they need not actually retain a copy of the document, they SHOULD do so.
  • It is acceptable for a Composition to contain only narrative (Composition.section.text) and no entries (Composition.section.entry)

2.42.7 Compositions about multiple entities

Typically, a composition is made about the subject - e.g. a patient, or group of patients, location, or device - and the distinction between the subject and the composition describes the subject. Some kinds of documents contain data about other parties or entities that are relevant to the subject of the document. Some examples:

  • A neonatal discharge summary that contains information about the mother
  • A family history document that contains multiple sections for different family members
  • A social health evaluation document that contains information about the patient's family members
  • A procedure report that contains details about a device implanted in the patient

In all these cases, the subject of the document is a single patient, but some of the details are actually related to other persons or entities. When this happens, these other entities are detailed in the Composition.section.focus element. In the absence of a focus, it is assumed that the subject of the composition is the focus.

If a focus is specified, then the resources referred to from the section SHALL either:

  • specify that their subject (however named e.g. patient) or focus element (if present) is the focus indicated
  • not have a subject element

A few compositions genuinely cover multiple subjects - different sections are about different subjects. In such case, Composition.subject is omitted, and the extension section-subject is used on each section to indicate the subject.

Trial-Use Note: Feedback is welcome on two issues related to Composition:

  • For many compositions, the title is the same as the text or a display name of Composition.type (e.g., a "consultation" or "progress note"). Note that CDA does not make title mandatory, but there are no known cases where it is useful for title to be omitted, so it is mandatory here during the trial use period.
  • A client can ask a server to generate a fully bundled document from a Composition resource using the $snapshot operation. This operation definition does not resolve the question how document signatures are created. This is an open issue during the period of trial use, and feedback is requested regarding this question.
