Vital Records Death Reporting (VRDR) FHIR Implementation Guide
3.0.0-ballot - ballot United States of America flag

This page is part of the Vital Records Death Reporting FHIR Implementation Guide (v3.0.0-ballot: STU 3 Ballot 1) based on FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) R4. The current version which supersedes this version is 2.2.0. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

Resource Profile: Death Certificate

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/vrdr/StructureDefinition/vrdr-death-certificate Version: 3.0.0-ballot
Draft as of 2024-04-05 Computable Name: DeathCertificate
Other Identifiers: OID:2.16.840.1.113883.4.642.40.10.42.25

The body of the death certificate document (Composition).

The Death Certificate profile is a composition (bundle) comprising the core content of a death registration.

Notes:

  • THe DeathCertificate is the first entry in the DeathCertificateDocument, and includes references to other entries in that Bundle.

Additional content can be included in the Death Certificate Document and referenced in the Death Certificate based on standard resources and profiles. Further profiling of Practitioner and PractitionerRole may be called for in the future. At present, standard USCore profiles can be used, and these are not cited in this Implementation Guide. For example:

  • Funeral Home Licensee (USCorePractitionerRole)
  • Mortician (USCorePractitioner)
  • Funeral Home Director (USCorePractitionerRole)
  • Death Pronouncement Performer (USCorePractitioner)

The content is broken down into the following sections:

Note: For NCHS submissions the replacement record status (REPLACE) has been deprecated within the VRDR IG, and this field be ignored. The replacement status of a submission is now specified as a message parameter and described in the NCHS Vital Records Messaging IG.

The profile includes:
