Resource Profile: Death Certifier

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/vrdr/StructureDefinition/vrdr-certifier Version: 3.0.0
Active as of 2024-10-16 Computable Name: Certifier
Other Identifiers: OID:2.16.840.1.113883.4.642.40.10.42.17

The Death Certification Practitioner

Note: The Certifier profile is based on the US Core Practitioner which requires an identifier be included. The death record submission process does not require an identifier. As a result, death record submissions that are complete will be flagged as invalid by the FHIR validator, unless they include an identifier.

The VRDR IG profiles require a PractitionerVitalRecords instance for references to the Certifier. This is to ensure that these profiles are not over-constrained for use by the MDI IG.
