This PlanDefinition profile defines the logic and rules around determining: whether or not a condition is reportable to public health, which jurisdiction(s) is/are responsible, which jurisdiction(s) need to be notified, and if the condition is reportable, gives timing information, next steps and condition information to the clinician. The rules for determining reportability described by an eRSD specification involve the use of triggering codes to determine potentially reportable events, and optionally locally evaluated rules for determining suspected reportable events. The final determination of reportability is made by the Public Health Agency or Agencies appropriate for the event, and may be performed by a combination of decisions occurring at various points during the processing of an eICR, as explained in the Reportability Response profile.

This profile represents information that is required during a public health emergency/outbreak. This information can be highly variable, so a generic structure has been chosen to represent it.

This information will be recorded using a question/answer pattern with questions specific to the public health emergency/outbreak.

This Encounter profile represents the encounter related to the event. It is based on the US Core Encounter.

This is the Endpoint Resource profile for the IG used to specify receivers addresses

This Observation profile represents potential patient exposure and contact information and should be used to record information about the patient’s exposure to an agent (exposure source) or to record information about those that the patient could have exposed to an agent (exposure target). Recording of this information could assist/support in contact tracing or other control measures.

It is based on the US Core Patient profile with further restrictions to allow masking of some data elements and the addition of the patient-genderIdentity extension.

For ONC’s USCDI requirements, it adds Must Support constraints to the following:

• contact detail (e.g. a telephone number or an email address)
• a communication language
• a race
• an ethnicity
• a birth sex

This profile represents the postpartum status of a patient.

If the profile is present, the patient is in the postpartum period and further information about the postpartum status is communicated by the code chosen.

The postpartum period, also known as the puerperium, refers to the time after delivery when maternal physiological changes related to pregnancy return to the nonpregnant state. There is consensus that the postpartum period begins upon delivery of the infant. The end is less well defined but is often considered the six to eight weeks after delivery because the effects of pregnancy on many systems have largely returned to the pre-pregnancy state.

This PractitionerRole profile represents the roles and organizations of the practitioner.

It is based on the US Core PractitionerRole profile with a further restriction of a mandatory identifier data element.

This profile represents a result of the pregnancy such as live birth, still birth, miscarriage, etc.

The subject of this profile is the mother. The focus of this profile is the related Pregnancy Status Observation.

The order born in the delivery, live born or fetal death (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, etc.) is contained in Observation.component. All live births and fetal losses are included. If the pregnancy plurality is 1 then this value will also be 1.

There will be one Pregnancy Outcome Observation for each fetus delivered live or dead at any time in the pregnancy, regardless of gestational age or if the fetuses were delivered at different dates in the pregnancy. All live births and fetal losses are included. The order born in the delivery, live born or fetal death is contained in Observation.component.

This profile represents current and/or prior pregnancy statuses and their date ranges, enabling investigators to determine if a patient was pregnant, possibly pregnant, not pregnant or whether the pregnancy status was unknown during a particular date range.

The subject of this profile is the mother.

This profile includes the determination method, determination date, and recorded date of the pregnancy status.

Use the effectivePeriod to indicate the date range over which the patient was pregnant/possibly pregnant/not pregnant/unknown. To record the date that the pregnancy status was recorded, use the date-recorded-extension and to record the date on which the pregnancy status determination was made, use the date-determined-extension. If the effectivePeriod.end is not present it is assumed that the date range over which the pregnancy status is asserted is from effectivePeriod.start to the date in the date-recorded-extension. For example, if the effectivePeriod.start has been recorded as two months prior to the date contained in the date-recorded-extension, and there is no effectivePeriod.end recorded, no assumptions can be made about the pregnancy status after the date contained in the date-recorded-extension.

This Observation profile represents transportation details such as the type of transport (plane, train, ship, etc.) along with any associated information (e.g. name of cruise ship, flight number, airport, seat number, cabin number, etc.).

This Observation profile represents a patient’s travel history.

The following data for a patient can be recorded:

• travel history as a string, an address, or a coded location
• the date or period of time spent in the location (Observation.effectiveTime)
  • it is important to accurately capture the most accurate dates possible
  • the focus should be on date of arrival and date of departure
  • the concepts of dates as related to travel are especially useful for determining need for Federal Public Health Notifications (FPHNs) and these dates are used to alert foreign ministries of health about their residents who may have been contacts of cases, or if a flight that was outbound from the USA had an infectious traveler on it
• most uses will involve a single location (Observation.component), however, it is possible to specify multiple locations (but there is only a single effectiveTime)
  • this allows for cases where a patient cannot remember exact dates of travel (e.g. I traveled to London, Paris, and Berlin in July and August 2016)
• free text describing the travel history details and location (Observation.component.valueCodeableConcept.text element)
• use Observation.component.codeableConcept to record a coded location
• use Observationcomponent.extension to record a specific address
• where a more granular address than state is known (e.g. city, street) it is appropriate to use the extension to record an address rather than using the coded location

This Extension profile represents the determination of reportability.

Reportability is “the quality or state of being reportable or not”. Reportability does not equate to the patient having a condition or meeting a case definition (definitively being a case).

For each condition included in the report and the relevant public health agency(s), this element indicates the determination of whether the condition is reportable to public health.

The values that can be used for the Determination of Reportability are described below.

A possible condition is:

• Reportable - The information provided meets reporting criteria for an associated PHA.

A possible condition:

• May be Reportable - The information provided may meet reporting criteria if additional information is provided. The Reportability Response will also be able to share the information needed to definitively determine reportability.

A possible condition is:

• Not Reportable - The information provided conclusively does not meet reporting criteria.

Some decision support systems may not be able to fully differentiate between possible conditions that are Not Reportable and those that May be Reportable if additional information is provided. In these circumstances there may only be a reportability determination of:

• No Reporting Rule Met - The information provided does not meet reporting criteria or may meet reporting criteria if additional information is provided.

The determination of No Reporting Rule Met may be provided for a possible condition or for all conditions in the report.

This Extension profile represents the reason for the determination of reportability.

This Extension profile represents a rule that led to the determination of reportability.

Supports the definition of expansion parameters for the ValueSet.

The reason may be entered either as:

• free text (string)
• coded value (valueCodeableConcept) (not necessarily initiated by a provider of care but might be “programmed-in” by the EHR implementer for some purpose)

Indicates how systems have to deal with messages in terms of duplicates, lack of responses.

Indicates the types of named events to subscribe to from the EHR.

Indicates the endpoint address where the report has to be sent.

This Extension profile represents an affiliated tribe name and whether or not the patient is an enrolled member

Supports communicating the FHIR query for a given data requirement. The query is server-specific, and will need to be created as informed by a CapabilityStatement. The $data-requirements operation should be extended to be able to provide an Endpoint or CapabilityStatement to provide this information. If no endpoint or capability statement is provided, the capability statement of the server performing the operation is used. This is not a resolveable URL, and that it will contain 1) No base canonical (so it’s a relative query), and 2) Parameters using tokens that are denoted using double-braces and the context parameters are dependent solely on the subjectType, according to the following: Patient: context.patientId, Practitioner: context.practitionerId, Organization: context.organizationId, Location: context.locationId, Device: context.deviceId
