Mortality Roster IJE Mapping
Not Implemented Content

The following table illustrates the mappings of fields in the Interjurisdictional Exchange (IJE) formats for mortality to profiles and fields within this FHIR Implementation guide. This information is provided to guide implementers who are transitioning from the familiar IJE to the new FHIR format for this information.

Note that string fields in FHIR-formatted data will often be subject to the same string length limitations of the IJE format for the same content. For example, name fields in IJE (e.g., DINSTI, GNAME) are restricted to 50 characters. Including strings longer than the IJE strength length limitations may lead to data truncation and/or business rule violations when data is sent to certain receivers, including NCHS. The IG includes maximum length restrictions on FHIR strings for some fields, and the FHIR validator will flag violations of these conformance restrictions. The IG does not impose maximum length restrictions for general FHIR fields like names and addresses since this seemed an unnatural constraint of widely used FHIR resources.
