Examples can include many things. Patient's posing particular risks (falls, physical violence), patient's needing special accomodations (hard of hearing, use easy-open caps), administrative concerns (verify postal address, pre-payment required) or any other situation that needs to be brought to attention within the context of a particular workflow. (The workflow relevant to the issue can be identified by the category element.) Usually, resources specific to particular types of issues (health conditions, allergies, active medications will be used to communicate those issues. However, in some cases, particularly important information (a latex or severe food allergy) migt be highlighted as an Alert as well as the more typical resource."/> <mapping> <identity value="rim"/> <uri value="http://hl7.org/v3"/> <name value="RIM"/> </mapping> <structure> <type value="Alert"/> <publish value="true"/> <element> <path value="Alert"/> <definition> <short value="Key information to flag to healthcare providers"/> <formal value="Prospective warnings of potential issues when providing care to the patient."/> <min value="1"/> <max value="1"/> <type> <code value="Resource"/> </type> <isModifier value="false"/> <mapping> <identity value="rim"/> <map value="Observation[classCode=ISSUE, moodCode=EVN]"/> </mapping> </definition> </element> <element> <path value="Alert.extension"/> <definition> <short value="Additional Content defined by implementations"/> <formal value="May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource.
