Detailed Descriptions for the elements in the PlanDefinition resource.

PlanDefinition
Element IdPlanDefinition
Definition

This resource allows for the definition of various types of plans as a sharable, consumable, and executable artifact. The resource is general enough to support the description of a broad range of clinical artifacts such as clinical decision support rules, order sets and protocols.

Cardinality0..*
TypeDomainResource
Invariants
Defined on this element
pdf-0Warning Name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generationname.matches('[A-Z]([A-Za-z0-9_]){0,254}')
PlanDefinition.url
Element IdPlanDefinition.url
Definition

An absolute URI that is used to identify this plan definition when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance; also called its canonical identifier. This SHOULD be globally unique and SHOULD be a literal address at which at which an authoritative instance of this plan definition is (or will be) published. This URL can be the target of a canonical reference. It SHALL remain the same when the plan definition is stored on different servers.

Cardinality0..1
Typeuri
Requirements

Allows the plan definition to be referenced by a single globally unique identifier.

Summarytrue
Comments

Can be a urn:uuid: or a urn:oid: but real http: addresses are preferred. Multiple instances may share the same URL if they have a distinct version.

The determination of when to create a new version of a resource (same url, new version) vs. defining a new artifact is up to the author. Considerations for making this decision are found in Technical and Business Versions.

In some cases, the resource can no longer be found at the stated url, but the url itself cannot change. Implementations can use the meta.source element to indicate where the current master source of the resource can be found.

PlanDefinition.identifier
Element IdPlanDefinition.identifier
Definition

A formal identifier that is used to identify this plan definition when it is represented in other formats, or referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance.

NoteThis is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion)
Cardinality0..*
TypeIdentifier
Requirements

Allows externally provided and/or usable business identifiers to be easily associated with the module.

Summarytrue
Comments

Typically, this is used for identifiers that can go in an HL7 V3 II (instance identifier) data type, and can then identify this plan definition outside of FHIR, where it is not possible to use the logical URI.

PlanDefinition.version
Element IdPlanDefinition.version
Definition

The identifier that is used to identify this version of the plan definition when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the plan definition author and is not expected to be globally unique. For example, it might be a timestamp (e.g. yyyymmdd) if a managed version is not available. There is also no expectation that versions can be placed in a lexicographical sequence. To provide a version consistent with the Decision Support Service specification, use the format Major.Minor.Revision (e.g. 1.0.0). For more information on versioning knowledge assets, refer to the Decision Support Service specification. Note that a version is required for non-experimental active artifacts.

NoteThis is a business versionId, not a resource version id (see discussion)
Cardinality0..1
Typestring
Summarytrue
Comments

There may be different plan definition instances that have the same identifier but different versions. The version can be appended to the url in a reference to allow a reference to a particular business version of the plan definition with the format [url]|[version].

PlanDefinition.name
Element IdPlanDefinition.name
Definition

Cardinality0..1
Typemarkdown
Summarytrue
Comments

This description can be used to capture details such as why the plan definition was built, comments about misuse, instructions for clinical use and interpretation, literature references, examples from the paper world, etc. It is not a rendering of the plan definition as conveyed in the 'text' field of the resource itself.

Requirements

Multiple steps in a protocol often have different groups of steps that are focused on testing different things. The subject of an action specifies the focus of the action and any child actions.

Comments

The subject of an action overrides the subject at a parent action or on the root of the PlanDefinition if specified.

In addition, because the subject needs to be resolved during realization, use of subjects in actions (or in the ActivityDefinition referenced by the action) resolves based on the set of subjects supplied in context and by type (i.e. the patient subject would resolve to a resource of type Patient).

Note that when a referenced ActivityDefinition also defines a transform, the transform specified here generally takes precedence. In addition, if both a transform and dynamic values are specific, the dynamic values are applied to the result of the transform.

PlanDefinition.action.dynamicValue
Element IdPlanDefinition.action.dynamicValue
Definition

Customizations that should be applied to the statically defined resource. For example, if the dosage of a medication must be computed based on the patient's weight, a customization would be used to specify an expression that calculated the weight, and the path on the resource that would contain the result.

Cardinality0..*
Comments

Dynamic values are applied in the order in which they are defined in the PlanDefinition resource. Note that when dynamic values are also specified by a referenced ActivityDefinition, the dynamicValues from the ActivityDefinition are applied first, followed by the dynamicValues specified here. In addition, if both a transform and dynamic values are specific, the dynamic values are applied to the result of the transform.

PlanDefinition.action.dynamicValue.path
Element IdPlanDefinition.action.dynamicValue.path

The path to the element to be customized. This is the path on the resource that will hold the result of the calculation defined by the expression. The specified path SHALL be a FHIRPath resolveable on the specified target type of the ActivityDefinition, and SHALL consist only of identifiers, constant indexers, and a restricted subset of functions. The path is allowed to contain qualifiers (.) to traverse sub-elements, as well as indexers ([x]) to traverse multiple-cardinality sub-elements (see the Simple FHIRPath Profile for full details).

Comments

To specify the path to the current action being realized, the %action environment variable is available in this path.
