Provenance is essential when sharing information in the payer space because any given record might have passed through multiple hands before it arrives at a payer. Provenance provides traceability as to where the data originated and helps in the evaluation of the information as well as rationalizing duplicate data acquired through multiple sources. Da Vinci makes a couple of improvements to the US Core Provenance profile that will hopefully be migrated into that profile in the future:

• Capturing the time of the creation/update, not just the time the Provenance instance was created
• Ensuring that the Provenance target in fact resolves to a specific resource reference, not allowing only display or an identifier

In addition, in Da Vinci, signatures on Provenances must be retained if present.

Summary

Mandatory: 1 element
Must-Support: 2 elements

Maturity: 2

The following guidance applies to the use of Providence across Da Vinci IGs. IGs can impose additional expectations with respect to the use of Provenance either across their whole use-case or in the context of specific events.

Searching

There is no expectation for support for querying Provenance except using _revinclude using the 'target' parameter (to return Provenance instances associated with a returned resource).

Aligning Provenance and Resource elements

Provenance should align with information present in the record. Where a Provenance deals with the creation of an instance, the author, performer and (if present) informer should align with the equivalent elements on the record. Similarly, Provenance.occurred should align with the creation date for the record.

Populating Provenance.agent

The following table lists the various agent codes and what resource types are appropriate. These recommendations SHOULD be followed

| transmitter | This could be Patient, RelatedPerson, Practitioner or PractitionerRole or Organization. A second transmitter could capture the specific Device used | | enterer | Patient, RelatedPerson, Practitioner or PractitionerRole | | performer | could be anything | | author | could be anything | | verifier | generally only Practitioner or PractitionerRole | | legal | Only Practitioner or PractitionerRole | | attester | Patient, RelatedPerson, Practitioner or PractitionerRole | | informant | Patient, RelatedPerson, Practitioner or PractitionerRole | | custodian | usually Organization, could also be Device, Practitioner or PractitionerRole | | assembler | usually a Device, could be Practitioner or PractitionerRole | ——————————————

Handling agents with multiple roles

In general, the most important role to capture is "author". If they are the only role present, the presumption is that they are also the enterer, performer, verifier, legal, attester, informant, etc. Specifying other roles is only necessary if they differ from the author. Not all systems will necessarily track all participants. Roles other than author only need to be shared if the system captures them and feels they might be relevant to downstream use of the information.

Populating onBehalfOf

Provenance.agent.onBehalfOf is only relevant in certain circumstances:

• onBehalfOf SHOULD NOT be populated if RelatedPerson is acting on behalf of the Patient. (Because that is the assumption and there is already a link to the Patient on that resource)
• onBehalfOf SHOULD NOT be populated with an Organization if the agent is Practitioner - use PractitionerRole instead (even if it is a contained PractitionerRole)
• onBehalfOf SHOULD NOT be populated with an Organization if the agent is PractitionerRole unless PractitionerRole is pointing to an organization and the onBehalfOf is different (i.e. Dr. Smith for Clinic A did something on behalf of clinic B)
• It is unusual for onBehalfOf to be populated if the agent is Patient or RelatedPerson
• onBehalfOf SHOULD NOT be populated with an Organization if it is the same as Device.owner
