Artifacts Summary

This page provides a list of the FHIR artifacts defined as part of this implementation guide.

Participants

Patient - Child

The subject patient (newborn/infant/child) for whom clinical data is included in the report.

Patient - Decedent Fetus

A stillborn for whom clinical data is included in the report.

Patient - Mother

This Patient profile represents the woman who gave birth to, or delivered the infant.

Practitioner - Live Birth and Fetal Death

This Practitioner profile represents a practitioner who is involved in vital records (births, fetal death, death, etc.) as a certifier or an attendant. This profile is based on the US Core Practitioner and adds a further constraint to capture the title of the practitioner.

RelatedPerson - Parent

The RelatedPerson profile contains constraints common to the Mother and Father profiles.

RelatedPerson - Father

The father of the subject. Different individuals may play different roles as the father (eg. biological father, adoptive father, etc)

RelatedPerson - Father Natural

The biological (natural) father of the newborn or fetus.

RelatedPerson - Mother

The mother of the report subject. Different individuals may play different roles as the mother (eg. biological mother, adoptive mother, etc)

RelatedPerson - Mother Gestational

The woman who gave birth to, or delivered the infant. The RelatedPerson structure is required in order to link the mother to the newborn or fetus.

Observations

Observation - APGAR Score

APGAR score post-birth.

Observation - Autopsy Performed

An indication if an autopsy has been performed on the subject.

Observation - Birth Weight

The weight of the infant/fetus at birth/delivery.

Observation - Gestational Age

The obstetric estimate of the infant’s gestation in completed weeks based on the birth/delivery attendant’s final estimate of gestation which should be determined by all perinatal factors and assessments such as ultrasound, but not the neonatal exam.

Observation - Infant Living

An indication of whether the infant is living at the time the report is being submitted.

Observation - Last Menstrual Period

This profile represents the date of the last menstrual period of the patient. The first day of last menstrual period should be captured. The effectiveTime captures the observation date.

Observation - Mother Delivery Weight

The weight of the mother at the time of birth/delivery.

Observation - Mother Height

The height of the mother.

Observation - Mother Pre-Pregnancy Weight

The weight of the mother before becoming pregnant.

Observation - Number Births Now Dead

The total number of previous live-born infants for the mother now dead.

Observation - Number Births Now Living

The total number of previous live-born infants for the mother now living.

Observation - Number Fetal Deaths This Delivery

The number of fetal deaths in this delivery.

Observation - Number Live Births This Delivery

The number of live births in this delivery.

Observation - Number of Prenatal Visits

The total number of prenatal visits for the mother. The dates of the first and last prenatal visit are indicated by the effective date range. If the mother received no prenatal care, the value should indicate 0 visits.

Observation - Number Other Pregnancy Outcomes

The total number of other pregnancy outcomes for the mother that did not result in a live birth (included pregnancy losses of any gestational age, e.g., spontaneous or induced losses or ectopic pregnancies).

Observation - Number Previous Cesareans

The total number of prior cesarean deliveries for the mother.

Observation - Parent Education Level

The highest degree or level of schooling completed by the parent.

Observation - Plurality

The number of fetuses 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. (‘Reabsorbed’ fetuses, those which are not ‘delivered’ (expulsed or extracted from the mother) should not be counted.) Include all live births and fetal losses resulting from this pregnancy.

Observation - Pregnancy Risk Factor

Selected medical risk factors of the mother during the pregnancy.

Observation - Race

This profile represents a single race code assigned to the person. If the value is unknown, set dataAbsentReason to “unknown”.

Observation - Tabulated Ethnicity

This profile records a code representing the ethnic affiliation information for the mother or father. The observation will convey, as coded data, information that is provided in text form. If the value is unknown, set dataAbsentReason to “unknown”.

Extensions

Extension - RelatedPerson Deceased

The deceased indicator for a RelatedPerson. Deceased date/time is preferred.

Extension - RelatedPerson Birth Place

The registered place of birth for the related person. A sytem may use the address.text if they don’t store the birthPlace address in discrete elements.

Extension - Within City Limits Indicator

Used to indicate whether or not an address is within city limits. The content of the component shall be a value from the value set Yes No Unknown.

Extension - Date Part Absent Reason

Provides a reason why an expected date part is missing.
