Electronic Long-Term Services and Supports (eLTSS) Release 1 - US Realm
2.0.0 - STU2 United States of America flag

This page is part of the electronic Long-Term Services and Supports Implementation Guide (v2.0.0: STU2) based on FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) R4. This is the current published version in its permanent home (it will always be available at this URL). For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

eLTSS Dataset to FHIR Release 4

This Page contains three tables to aid in FHIR representation and use of eLTSS data.

  • The R4 mapping table indicates where eLTSS DAM data elements are to be placed/found in FHIR.
  • The R4 Useful elements table details important accessory data elements in meeting the eLTSS use case.
  • The Units table provides guidance on using units for things such as 'visit/week.'

Beneficiary Demographics Emergency Backup Plan Description of how to address unforeseen events, emergency health events, emergency events, problems with medical equipment and supplies, and unavailable staffing situations for critical services that put the person's health and safety at risk.

This can be included as free text or attachment.
CarePlan [emergency backup plan]
→ subject(Patient)
CarePlan [emergency backup plan]
→ description
CarePlan [emergency backup plan]
→ partOf(CarePlan) ["main" Care Plan]
CarePlan
...subject(Patient) 1
...description 0..1
...part of(CarePlan) 0..*
1) The CarePlan resource containing the emergency backup plan refers to the "main" CarePlan resource, rather than the other way around, by using the emergency backup plan CarePlan → partOf data element to reference the "main" CarePlan data element.
2) FHIR requires that CarePlan includes a subject.
3) description contains the text of the Emergency Backup Plan if provided as text.
4) type indicates the kind of document, but the documented preferred LOINC value set does not include anything corresponding to an emergency backup plan. Therefore we can use the Codeable Concept's text data element to indicate "Emergency Backup Plan". (type is mandatory in FHIR 3.0.1, but optional in the R4 draft.)
Goals & Strengths Goal A statement of a desired result that the person wants to achieve. CarePlan → goal(Goal)

Goal → description → text
CarePlan
...goal(Goal) 0..*
......description 1
.........text 1
......subject(Patient) 1
1) Will use CarePlan → goal to reference the Goal for the care plan being developed.
2) description is required by both FHIR and US Core, and is a CodableConcept whose text element, per US Core, must include a text description of the goal.
3) Each goal should go into a separate Goal element so each can potentially reference a step or action(s), or a service(s) that addresses the goal.
4) A Goal can be referenced from a Step or Action or from a service. For a goal related to a step or action, use extension(pertainsToGoal). For a service request specific goal, also use extension(pertainsToGoal). Logically, these goals are exclusive to each other and the same goal isn't duplicated at both levels.
5) US Core requires the use of Goal → Subject to reference back to the Patient.
Goals & Strengths Step or Action A planned measurable step or action that needs to be taken to accomplish a goal identified by the person. CarePlan → activity
→ reference(Resource) → note
→ text → extension(pertainsToGoal)
CarePlan
...activity 0..*
......reference(Resource) 0..1
.........note 0..*
............text 1
.........extension(pertainsToGoal)
1) CarePlan includes activity → reference, which can be a reference to ServiceRequest, Task or other Resource.
2) ServiceRequest would be used when the Step or Action is a task under a service. If the Step or Action is an informal support or an activity being undertaken by the patient/care recipient, the Task Resource, similar to a Patient Task used in the Gravity SDOH IG, can be used.
3) activity → reference(Resource) is linked to the Goal the step or action addresses through the pertainsToGoal Extension in the referenced activity.
4) activity → reference(Resource) includes a performer, author, participant with type or other data element that can be used to reference who is responsible for performing the step or action, such as to indicate that the person or a related person is responsible.
5) text is where the Step or Action text would be provided.
6) text is required by FHIR if note is provided.
7) Note that a stated goal may lead directly to a service, and not necessarily to an explicit Step or Action. For example, a person's goal could be to attend church regularly, and this would be achieved through a transportation service.
Goals & Strengths Strength A favorable attribute of oneself, his/her support network, environment and/or elements of his/her life. CarePlan → supportingInfo(Observation)

Observation → valueString
Observation → code → coding → code Observation → code → coding → system
CarePlan
...supportingInfo(Observation) 0..*
......valueString 0..1
......code 1
........coding 0..*
..........code 0..1
............system 0..1
1) Will use CarePlan → supportingInfo to reference the Observation containing the Strength.
2) code is required by FHIR, and is a CodeableConcept where coding → code can be set to "Strength" with the corresponding NEW code → system "http://hl7.org/us/eLTSS/CodeSystem/eltss-observation-code".
3) valueString is where the Strength text would be provided.
Person Centered Planning Assessed Need The clinical and/or community-based necessity or desire as identified through an assessment that should be addressed by a service. CarePlan → addresses(Condition)

Condition → code → text
Condition → category
CarePlan
...addresses(Condition) 0..*
......code 1
.........text 0..1
......category 1..*
1) Will use CarePlan → addresses to reference the Condition(s) for the care plan being developed.
2) code is required by US Core and is a CodeableConcept which per US Core is bound to the extensible Problem Value Set. That value set is based on SNOMED-CT and includes very specific values that do not line up with assessed needs. Per US Core's documentation on extensible CodeableConcepts, the CodeableConcept's text element can be used "if no suitable codes exist", so we can use the text element for the assessed need. Additionally, the Gravity SDOH FHIR IG has a value set of SDOH conditions.
3) Each assessed need should go into a separate Condition element so each can potentially be linked to a service(s) that addresses it.
4) Category is required by US Core and is a CodeableConcept which per US Core is bound to the extensible US Core Condition Category Codes value set (http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/condition-category) which has values: problem-list-item, encounter-diagnosis and health-concern. The additional 'assessed-need' code can be used to relate that the Condition instance is about the clinical and/or community-based necessity or desire, as identified through an assessment, that should be addressed by a service. Consider also using the US Core 6.1.0 screening-assessment categories https://www.hl7.org/fhir/us/core/ValueSet-us-core-screening-assessment-condition-category.html.
5) An "assessed need" condition can refer to another condition via the condition-dueTo extension.

............data 0..1
............type 1
............who(Practitioner | PractitionerRole |

Organization) 1
1) Will use CarePlan → supportingInfo to reference the Contract containing the signatures, names, etc.
2) Can use a single Contract element to contain all signatures.
3) signer requires the signature and a type that indicates the contract signatory role.
4) 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.
5) data is the actual signature content (XML DigSig. JWT, picture, etc.)
6) signature requires it's own type element that indicates why the entity signed the contract, and FHIR provides a preferred code list. Would probably use "1.2.840.10065.1.12.1.7" which represents "consent signature" in this case.
7) signature requires a who to indicate who signed, which can be a Patient, Organization, Practitioner, PrationerRole, RelatedPerson or Device, although in this case it would be the Patient.

1) Will use CarePlan → supportingInfo to reference the Contract containing the signatures, names, etc.
2) Can use a single Contract element to contain all signatures.
3) signer requires the signature and a type that indicates the contract signatory role.
4) FHIR includes a preferred coding for contract signatory roles, which map well to the eLTSS signatories. There are multiple values that may be used depending on how states want to map. For example, the list includes: "POWATT" (power of attorney), "GUARD" (guardian), "HPOWATT" (healthcare power of attorney), etc. 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.
5) data is the signature content (XML DigSig. JWT, picture, etc.)
6) signature requires it's own type element that indicates why the entity signed the contract, and FHIR provides a preferred value set. Would probably use "1.2.840.10065.1.12.1.7" which represents "consent signature" in this case.
7) signature requires a who to indicate who signed, which can be a Patient, Organization, Practitioner, PractitionerRole, RelatedPerson or Device although in this case it would be the RelatedPerson.

Service Information Service Unit Quantity The numerical amount of the service unit being provided for a frequency.

This element is slated to be used in conjunction with Service Quantity Interval and Unit of Service Type elements to form a full description of how often a service is provided. For example, a service being provided 7 units per week, the Service Unit Quantity = "7". For a service being provided 8 hours a day, the Service Unit Value = "8".

1) Will use CarePlan → activity → reference to reference a ServiceRequest.
2) quantityQuantity can be used to represent simple quantities such as "1 installation" or "5 trips". quantityRatio can be used to represent quantities with intervals such as "8 hours a day" or "7 units per week". Either quantityQuantity or quantityRatio can be used, but not both for the same ServiceRequest.
3) value is a decimal, and unit is a string.
4) numerator and denominator are used to represent a quantity with an interval. For example, to represent 8 hours a day, numerator → value would be "8" and numerator → unit would be "hour", while denominator → value would be "1" and denominator → unit would be "day".
5) See the "qty-unit-interval examples" worksheet in this spreadsheet for additional details.
6) Please also consider occurrencePeriod for use when the quantity is meant to be performed within a defined, simple start and end date. E.g. For May 31,2023 to June 10, 2023 give ServiceRequest.quantityRatio of 5 USD per day. AND, use occurrenceTiming for timing information that fluctuates or is sufficiently complex. The recipient may need to calculate end-date, or one can use occurrenceTiming.boundsPeriod to ascribe a start and end date. E.g. Give ServiceRequest.quantityRatio of 5 USD per day. with the occurrenceTiming.boundsPeriod of May 31, 2023 to June 23, 2023 on occurrenceTiming.dayOfWeek = Mon and Wed at occurrenceTiming.timeOfDay = 3 pm.
Service Information Unit of Service Type A named quantity in terms of which services are measured or specified, used as a standard measurement of like services. Values include: minute(s), 8 hour(s), quarter hour(s), hour(s), half day(s), full day(s), day(s), week(s), month(s), dollar(s), meal(s), mile(s), visit(s)/session(s), installation(s), none, other (free text).

This element is slated to be used in conjunction with Service Unit Quantity interval and Service Unit Quantity elements to form a full description of how often a service is provided. For example, a service being provided 7 units per week, the Unit of Service Type = "units". For a service being provided 8 hours a day, the Unit of Service Type = "hours".
see above see above see above
Service Information Service Unit Quantity Interval A period of time corresponding to the quantity of service(s) indicated. Values include: per day, per week, per month, per year, one time only, other (free text).

This element is slated to be used in conjunction with Unit of Service Type and Service Unit Quantity elements to form a full description of how often a service is provided. For example, a service being provided 7 units per week, the Service Unit Quantity Interval = "per week". For a service being provided 8 hours a day, the Service Unit Quantity Interval = "per day".

Definitions for Columns of the eLTSS Dataset Element Mapping Spreadsheet
Column Definition
eLTSS Grouping Indicates the top-level group of data elements defined in the eLTSS Dataset.
eLTSS Data Element Name Name of the data element as defined in the eLTSS Dataset.
FHIR Data Element Name
Requirement Source
FHIR resource and data element name. Italics indicates whether mandatory requirement is from FHIR and/or US Core.
Data Element Definition eLTSS element mapping tab: The definition of the data element as defined in the eLTSS Dataset. Includes examples, potential lists of values, and usage notes where applicable.
mandatory FHIR data elements tab: The definition of the data element as defined in FHIR.
eLTSS Datatype / Format The type of data for the eLTSS Dataset data element, including format where applicable.
FHIR R4 Resource Element(s) The data elements from FHIR Release 4 that correspond to the eLTSS Dataset data element. The "→" notation indicates the hierarchy. So for example, "Patient → name → family" means that the mapping includes the FHIR "Patient" data element which has the FHIR data element "name" as its child, and "name" has the FHIR data element "family" as its child.

For FHIR data elements that are references to other FHIR resources, the type of resource that is being referenced is included in parenthesis. So for example, the notation "Contract → signer → party(Patient)" indicates that "party" data element references a Patient resource. Where the reference can be to different types of resource, the "|" is used, for example "CareTeam → participant → member(Practitioner | Patient)" indicates that the "member" data element can reference either a Practitioner resource or a Patient resource.
FHIR R4 Resource Element Cardinality (with US Core Constraints) The cardinality of each data element listed in this column. US Core requires a number of data elements, so cardinality may different between the FHIR specification and US Core requirements.

"1" means the data element is mandatory and can appear only once.
"0..1" means the data element is optional, and if it occurs can only occur once.
"0..*" means the data element is optional, and if it occurs can occur any number of times.
"1..*" means the data element is mandatory, and if it occurs can occur any number of times.
"0..x" where 'x' is a number means the data element is optional, and if it occurs can occur up to 'x' number of times.
Additional Mapping Details Provides addition detail regarding the data mapping, including references that are required to link all the data elements, information on data types, notes such as why the additional related data elements may be useful, values available in a referenced code list, etc.
