FHIR includes a preferred coding for contract signatory roles, which map well to the eLTSS signatories. The primary one for the patient/beneficiary is "PAT" (patient), although implementers may use others as well. However, implementers must realize that type may be used to differentiate between the patient, service provider, planner, etc. so there need to be distinct role types utilized.

Would probably use "CONSENTER" which represents "consent signature" in this use case.

List of Computable Policy Rule Language Representation(s) of this Contract.

A legally enforceable, formally recorded unilateral or bilateral directive (i.e., a policy or agreement).

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

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. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

An Extension

Indicates that the resource is related to either the measurement, achievement or progress towards the referenced goal. For example, a Procedure to exercise pertainsToGoal of losing weight.

This extension is limited to subject-specific activity-related resources (events & intents). I.e. This can't be put on Goal or Patient. This association isn't for the purpose of goal management, but for things such as noting that a particular observation result, prescription or other activity is pertinent to the achievement (or possibly non-achievement) of the referenced goal.

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 and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. 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.

Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

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.

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

However, implementers must realize that type may be used to differentiate between the patient, service provider, planner, etc. so there need to be distinct role types utilized.

The Contract.signer applies a signature to the Contract.binding referenced resource, which is the documentation that is the legal "source of truth". The Contract.signer may delegate, such as a legally recognized personal representative, or have a delegate assigned e.g., by a court of law, to actually sign the Contract, such as a trustee in the case of incompetence.

Computable Contract conveyed using a policy rule language (e.g. XACML, DKAL, SecPal).

A legally enforceable, formally recorded unilateral or bilateral directive (i.e., a policy or agreement).

The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.

The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

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. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

The base language in which the resource is written.

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).

A human language.

A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can 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.

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 information is added later.

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.

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. Contained resources may have profiles and tags In their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels.

An Extension

Indicates that the resource is related to either the measurement, achievement or progress towards the referenced goal. For example, a Procedure to exercise pertainsToGoal of losing weight.

This extension is limited to subject-specific activity-related resources (events & intents). I.e. This can't be put on Goal or Patient.

Unique identifier for this Contract or a derivative that references a Source Contract.

This is the business identifier of the contract content conveyed. It may be a derivative of the legally binding contract, in which case, the identifier of the basal contract is contained in the Contract.binding referenced Contract.

Canonical identifier for this contract, represented as a URI (globally unique).

Used in a domain that uses a supplied contract repository.

An absolute URI that is used to identify this contract when it is referenced in a specification, model, design, instance or a contract derivative; also called its canonical identifier. This SHOULD be globally unique and SHOULD be a literal address at which this plan definition is (or will be) published.

An edition identifier used for business purposes to label business significant variants.

Note - This is a business versionId, not a resource version id (see discussion http://build.fhir.org/resource.html#versions) Comments - There may be different contract instances that have the same identifier but different versions. The version can be appended to the url in a reference to allow a reference to a particular business version of the plan definition with the format [url]|[version].

The identifier that is used to identify this version of the contract when it is referenced in a specification, model, design, instance, or contract derivative. This is an arbitrary value managed by the contract author and is not expected to be globally unique. For example, it might be a timestamp (e.g. yyyymmdd) if a managed version is not available. There is also no expectation that versions can be placed in a lexicographical sequence.

The status of the resource instance.

This element is labeled as a modifier because the status contains codes that mark the contract as not currently valid or active.

A code specifying the state of the resource instance.

This is the Contract Business Workflow Status.

Legal states of the formation of a legal instrument, which is a formally executed written document that can be formally attributed to its author, records and formally expresses a legally enforceable act, process, or contractual duty, obligation, or right, and therefore evidences that act, process, or agreement.

The minimal content derived from the basal information source at a specific stage in its lifecycle.

This is an example set of Content Derivative type codes, which represent the minimal content derived from the basal information source.

In the context of a contract, the information source of the content derivative shall be the information referenced by the contract.binding. The Contract Resource may function simply as the computable representation of the executed contract, which may be the attached to the Contract Resource as the “binding” or as the “friendly” electronic form. For example, a Contract Resource may be automatically populated with the values expressed in a related QuestionnaireResponse. However, the Contract Resource may be considered the legally binding contract if it is the only “executed” form of this contract, and includes the signatures as *The Contract Resource may function as the computable representation of an application or offer in a pre-executed Contract if the grantor has not entered any values. In this case, it is populated with values in a “legal” form of the application or offer or by the values in an associated Questionnaire. If the grantor has filled in the legal form or the associated Questionnaire Response, then these values are used to populate a pre-executed Contract Resource. If the Contract.topic is considered an application or offer, then the policy is often required to be attached as the “legal” basis for the application to ensure “informed consent” to the contract, and that any discrepancy between the application and the policy are interpreted against the policy. Implementers should check organizational and jurisdictional policies to determine the relationship among multiple representations of a contract pre- and post-execution.

When this Contract was issued.

The Contract issuance dateTime often precedes the Contract effective dateTime.

Relevant time or time-period when this Contract is applicable.

The dateTime upon which the Contract is binding.

Codes for the range of legal concerns.

Narrows the range of legal concerns to focus on the achievement of specific contractual objectives.

Requirement: May be used to focus the topic of a Contract definition, derivative, or instance in any legal state. Comment: Contractual areas of concern are very broad. This element supports narrowing the area of concern to more specific term topics within this Contract. Given the wide range of contract topics, implementers need to be cognizant of the business use case for which they are designing a FHIR Contract, and narrowly specify the topic being represented with respect to the Contract.type and any specializing Contract.subtype. The same topic, e.g., an asset such as a good or service, such as a real property, medical supply, insurance, information, a procedure or employment, or a manner of conduct, such adherence to a privacy, trust, or security policy, may be the topic of multiple types of contracts. One way to determine the Contract.topic is to answer the question: “What is the overall objective of this legal instrument. The Contract.topic is described with more detail by the terms of the Contract.

A high-level category for the legal instrument, whether constructed as a Contract definition, derivative, or instance in any legal state. Provides additional information about its content within the context of the Contract's scope to distinguish the kinds of systems that would be interested in the contract.

Statement of a provision in a policy or a contract.

Security labels that protect the handling of information about the term and its elements, which may be specifically identified..

Requirement - Within a Contract, a security label may apply to the one to many nested group of terms or to a term, whether inside a group or a singleton. This security label protects the term and its contained provision elements. The security label on the entire set of term provision elements may be different from the security labels on a contained offer, asset, valuedItem, or data such as sensitive information, and must be the high water mark of all security labels within the term. Rationale is that a labelled term, which may be disaggregated from the Contract, and must persist the label on the term and on contained elements within other contexts. Requirement - If more than one policy dictates a level of confidentiality of the term, then each applicable policy may be represented by a security label specific to its requirements. Comment - A Security Label is comprised of 1..1 confidentiality code and 0..* other security label codes (aka "privacy tags". A Security Label is metadata assigned (aka "tagged") to Resources and Resource elements, which specify the confidentiality and sensitivity of the Resource or element and their related attributes, the purposes for which tagged items may be collected, access, used or disclosed, any limitation on the type of entities authorized to engage in permitted purposes, and handling instructions that obligate or prohibit certain actions on the tagged items.

How the party participates in the offer.

Codes for offer participant roles.

The owner of an asset has the residual control rights over the asset: the right to decide all usages of the asset in any way not inconsistent with a prior contract, custom, or law (Hart, 1995, p. 30).

The Contract.topic may be an application for or offer of a policy or service (e.g., uri to a consent directive form or a health insurance policy), which becomes the Contract once accepted by both the grantor and grantee. The Contract Resource may function simply as the computable representation of the executed contract, which may be the attached to the Contract Resource as the “binding” or as the “friendly” electronic form. For example, a Contract Resource may be automatically populated with the values expressed in a related QuestionnaireResponse. However, the Contract Resource may be considered the legally binding contract if it is the only “executed” form of this contract, and includes the signatures as *The Contract Resource may function as the computable representation of an application or offer in a pre-executed Contract if the grantor has not entered any values. In this case, it is populated with values in a “legal” form of the application or offer or by the values in an associated Questionnaire. If the grantor has filled in the legal form or the associated Questionnaire Response, then these values are used to populate a pre-executed Contract Resource. If the Contract.topic is considered an application or offer, then the policy is often required to be attached as the “legal” basis for the application to ensure “informed consent” to the contract, and that any discrepancy between the application and the policy are interpreted against the policy. Implementers should check organizational and jurisdictional policies to determine the relationship among multiple representations of a contract pre- and post-execution.

In the context of a contract, the topic is the matter under consideration in regards to which specific rights, privileges, obligations, restrictions, and prohibitions are binding on any grantor and grantee parties upon the execution of the contract. Given the wide range of contract topics, implementers need to be cognizant of the business use case for which they are designing a FHIR Contract, and narrowly specify the topic being represented with respect to the Contract.type and any specializing Contract.subtype. The same topic, e.g., an asset such as a good or service, such as a real property, medical supply, insurance, information, a procedure or employment, or a manner of conduct, such adherence to a privacy, trust, or security policy, may be the topic of multiple types of contracts. One way to determine the Contract.topic is to answer the question: “What is the object of negotiation?” Answer: The Contract.topic, which may be described with more detail in the [0..*]Contract.valuedItem @ [0..1] Contract.valuedItem.entity[x] Definition: Specific type of Contract Valued Item that may be priced. CodeableConcept|Reference(Any) Contract.topic is “the what” that a grantor is exchanging with a grantee in return for some benefit. Contract.topic is “the what” to which any Contract.action is being applied for any stipulated Contract.action.reason. AContract.topic is “the what” governed by the execution of the contract to which any party’s rights, privileges, obligations, restrictions, and prohibitions apply.

Type of Contract Provision such as specific requirements, purposes for actions, obligations, prohibitions, e.g. life time maximum benefit.
