This profile allows for representing deidentified RelatedPerson data of a patient 

### Introduction

This profile is used to represent de-identified RelatdPerson information. The de-identification process has to remove all data elements not explicitly identified as "SUPPORTED" in the profile.

The [HHS De-identification Guidance](https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/ocr/privacy/hipaa/understanding/coveredentities/De-identification/hhs_deid_guidance.pdf) is to be followed to ensure appropriate level of de-identification is performed.

In FHIR Resources, text elements and reference.display elements which provide human readable information to the providers may be generated using programs and tools from the data present within the resource. For e.g a RelatedPerson resource text element may contain information such as the RelatedPerson name. This type of information will enable identification of the individuals. In order to avoid inadvertent revealing of PII/PHI, text elements cannot be included in the De-identified FHIR resource and the submission will be rejected when text elements are present by the validation process.

**Ids and References**

The original RelatedPerson resource id should not be included in the De-identified RelatedPerson instance. Instead a new id should be created and provided as part of the FHIR resource. This Data Submitter should be capable of using the generated id to relink the data to the original RelatedPerson. All resource references to the RelatedPerson submitted as part of the UDS+ report should refer to newly generated id.

Resource references cannot contain text element as it may contain PHI/PII. The text element for following references are not allowed

* patient

**Examples**

Examples of identifiable data and its corresponding de-identifiable data are present in the [FHIR Artifacts examples](artifacts.md)
