## StructureDefinition: CRD NutritionOrder - Detailed Descriptions

Definitions for the profile-nutritionorder-stu3 Profile.

NutritionOrder
Definition | A request to supply a diet, formula feeding (enteral) or oral nutritional supplement to a patient/resident.
Control | 0..*
Alternate Names | Nutrition Order, Diet Order, Diet, Nutritional Supplement, Enteral Nutrition
Comments | Referenced by an Order Request (workflow).
Invariants | Defined on this element dom-1: If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT contain any narrative (: contained.text.empty()) dom-2: If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT contain nested Resources (: contained.contained.empty()) dom-3: If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL be referred to from elsewhere in the resource (: contained.where(('#'+id in %resource.descendants().reference).not()).empty()) dom-4: If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a meta.versionId or a meta.lastUpdated (: contained.meta.versionId.empty() and contained.meta.lastUpdated.empty()) nor-1: Nutrition Order SHALL contain either Oral Diet , Supplement, or Enteral Formula class (: oralDiet.exists() or supplement.exists() or enteralFormula.exists())
NutritionOrder.id
Definition | The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.
Control | 0..1
Type | id
Comments | The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.
NutritionOrder.meta
Definition | The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content may not always be associated with version changes to the resource.
Control | 0..1
Type | Meta
NutritionOrder.implicitRules
Definition | A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content.
Control | 0..1
Type | uri
Is Modifier | true
Comments | Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. This element is labelled as a modifier because the implicit rules may provide additional knowledge about the resource that modifies it's meaning or interpretation.
NutritionOrder.language
Definition | The base language in which the resource is written.
Control | 0..1
Binding | A human language. The codes SHALL be taken from Common Languages; other codes may be used where these codes are not suitable
Type | code
Comments | Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).
NutritionOrder.text
Definition | A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource, and may be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.
Control | 0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: dom-1
Type | Narrative
Alternate Names | narrative, html, xhtml, display
Comments | Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded in formation is added later.
NutritionOrder.contained
Definition | These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.
Control | 0..*
Type | Resource
Alternate Names | inline resources, anonymous resources, contained resources
Comments | This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again.
NutritionOrder.extension
Definition | An Extension
Control | 0..*
Type | Extension
NutritionOrder.extension ([CanonicalType[http://hl7.org/fhir/us/davinci-crd/STU3/StructureDefinition/ext-insurance]])

Control | 1..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
Type | (Extension Type: Reference(ActivityDefinition | PlanDefinition))
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() | (children().count() > id.count())) ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (: extension.exists() != value.exists())
NutritionOrder.modifierExtension
Definition | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource, and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. In order to make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.
Control | 0..*
Type | Extension
Is Modifier | true
Alternate Names | extensions, user content
Comments | There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.
NutritionOrder.identifier
Definition | Identifiers assigned to this order by the order sender or by the order receiver.
Note | This is a business identifer, not a resource identifier (see discussion)
Control | 0..*
Type | Identifier

Control | 1..1
Binding | Codes specifying the state of the request. Describes the lifecycle of the nutrition order. The codes SHALL be taken from NutritionOrderStatus
Type | code
Is Modifier | true
Must Support | true
Comments | Typically the system placing the order sets the status to "requested". Thereafter, the order is maintained by the receiver that updates the status as the request is handled. This element is labeled as a modifier because the status contains codes that mark the resource as not currently valid.
Fixed Value | draft

Definition | This modifier is used to convey order-specific modifiers about the type of food that should NOT be given. These can be derived from patient allergies, intolerances, or preferences such as No Red Meat, No Soy or No Wheat or Gluten-Free. While it should not be necessary to repeat allergy or intolerance information captured in the referenced AllergyIntolerance resource in the excludeFoodModifier, this element may be used to convey additional specificity related to foods that should be eliminated from the patient’s diet for any reason. This modifier applies to the entire nutrition order inclusive of the oral diet, nutritional supplements and enteral formula feedings.
