US Core Implementation Guide STU 2

This page is part of the US Core (v2.0.0: STU2) 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

StructureDefinition-us-core-careplan

This profile sets minimum expectations for the CarePlan resource to record search and fetch assessment and plan of treatment data 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-CarePlan profile:

  • Query for a care plan belonging to a Patient
  • Record or update an existing care plan
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 CarePlan must have:

  1. a narrative summary of the patient assessment and plan of treatment
  2. a status
  3. an intent
  4. a category code of “assess-plan”
  5. a patient

Profile specific implementation guidance:

  • none

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 /CarePlan?patient=[id]&category=assess-plan

Example: GET [base]/CarePlan?patient=1137192&category=assess-plan

Support: Mandatory to support search by patient.

Implementation Notes: Search for all patient assessments and plans of treatment for a patient. Fetches a bundle of all CarePlan resources for the specified patient (how to search by reference) and (how to search by token).

GET /CarePlan?patient=[id]&category=assess-plan&date=[date]

Example:

  • GET [base]/CarePlan?patient=1137192&category=assess-plan&date=ge2015-01-14
  • GET [base]/CarePlan?patient=1137192&category=assess-plan&date=ge2015-01-14&date=le2016-01-14

Support: Mandatory to support search by date

Implementation Notes: Search for all assessment and plan of treatment for a patient within a time period. Fetches a bundle of all CarePlan resources for the specified patient for a specified time period. (how to search by reference), (how to search by token) and (how to search by date).

GET /CarePlan?patient=[id]&category=assess-plan&status=active

Example: GET [base]/CarePlan?patient=1137192&status=active

Support: SHOULD support search by patient and status = ‘active’.

Implementation Notes: SHOULD support search by reference and status. (how to search by reference), (how to search by token).

GET /CarePlan?patient=[id]&category=assess-plan&status=active&date=[date]

Example: GET [base]/CarePlan?patient=1137192&category=assess-plan&datatus=active&date=ge2015-01-14

Support: SHOULD support search by patient and status = ‘active’ and date.

Implementation Notes: Search for all active assessment and plan of treatment for a patient within a time period. Fetches a bundle of all active (careplan = “active”) CarePlan resources for the specified patient for a specified time period. (how to search by reference), (how to search by token) and (how to search by date).
