US Core Implementation Guide (Release 1.1.0 Ballot )

This page is part of the US Core (v1.1.0: STU2 Ballot 1) based on FHIR R3. The current version which supercedes this version is 5.0.1. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

SD.10 StructureDefinition-us-core-immunization

This profile sets minimum expectations for the Immunization resource to record, fetch and search immunization history associated with a patient. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets SHALL be present in the resource when using this profile.

Example Usage Scenarios:

The following are example usage scenarios for the US Core-Core Immunization profile:

  • Query for immunizations belonging to a Patient
  • Record immunizations belonging to a Patient
Mandatory Data Elements and Terminology

The following data-elements are mandatory (i.e data MUST be present). These are presented below in a simple human-readable explanation. Profile specific guidance and examples are provided as well. The Formal Profile Definition below provides the formal summary, definitions, and terminology requirements.

Each Immunization must have:

  1. a status
  2. a date the vaccine was administered
  3. a vaccine code that identifies the kind of vaccine administered
  4. a patient
  5. a flag to indicate whether vaccine was given
  6. a flag to indicate whether the vaccine was reported by patient rather than directly administered.

Profile specific implementation guidance:

SD.10.2 Quick Start

Below is an overview of the required set of RESTful FHIR interactions - for example, search and read operations - for this profile. See the Conformance requirements for a complete list of supported RESTful interactions for this IG.

GET /Immunization?patient=[id]

Example: GET [base]/Immunization?patient=1032702

Support: Mandatory to support search by patient.

Implementation Notes: Search for all Immunization resources for a patient. Fetches a bundle of all Immunization resources for the specified patient (how to search by reference).
