Other Profiles

Page standards status: Informative

Profiles of ResearchStudy Resource

The CTISRecord Profile is a Profile of ResearchStudy Resource and is used for a scientific study record in the European Union Clinical Trial Information System (EU CTIS), a research study registry of the European Union (EU).

The M11ResearchStudy Profile is a Profile of ResearchStudy Resource and is used to add extensions for use with an M11 Report.

The SystematicReview Profile is a Profile of ResearchStudy Resource and is used for a scientific study based on a protocol that includes search and selection of eligible studies, study quality assessment, data extraction, and synthesis.

Extensions are provided for searchStrategy, systematicReviewEligibilityCriteria, numberOfStudiesIdentified, numberOfStudiesIncluded, includedStudy, excludedStudy, and resultAsComposition.

RecommendationAction Profile of ActivityDefinition Resource

The RecommendationAction Profile is a Profile of ActivityDefinition Resource and is used for a recommendation from a clinical practice guideline.

A CharacteristicTiming extension named timingRelativeTime provides support for the RelativeTime datatype in FHIR version R6 to be used in FHIR version R5.

RecommendationPlan Profile of PlanDefinition Resource

The RecommendationPlan Profile is a Profile of PlanDefinition Resource and is used for the implementable representation of a recommendation (such as that from a clinical practice guideline). The RecommendationPlan Profile is developed to match the CPGonFHIR related Implementation Guidance.

A CharacteristicTiming extension named timingRelativeTime is available for the PlanDefinition.action element to provide support for the RelativeTime datatype in FHIR version R6 to be used in FHIR version R5.

SoaPlanDefinition Profile of PlanDefinition Resource

The SoaPlanDefinition Profile is a Profile of PlanDefinition Resource and is used for the representation of a schedule of activities that is often includes with a research study protocol. The SoaPlanDefinition Profile is in development related to efforts to support the M11Report Profile.

A CharacteristicTiming extension named timingRelativeTime is available for the PlanDefinition.action element to provide support for the RelativeTime datatype in FHIR version R6 to be used in FHIR version R5.

Profiles of Library Resource

The SearchResults Profile is used to represent search results, such as for a systematic review. The subjectReference element is limited to reference a SearchStrategy Profile.

The SystematicReviewIncludedStudies Profile is used to represent the subset of search results of a systematic review which meet the inclusion criteria. The subjectReference element is limited to reference a SystematicReviewEligibilityCriteria Profile.

The SystematicReviewExcludedStudies Profile is used to represent the subset of search results of a systematic review which did not meet the inclusion criteria. The subjectReference element is limited to reference a SystematicReviewEligibilityCriteria Profile.

Profiles of List Resource

The BaselineVariablesList Profile is used to provide a list of EvidenceVariable Resources which represent baseline measures. The BaselineVariablesList Profile is referenced in the ComparativeEvidenceReport Profile as a way to define the set of outcomes that is reported in a BaselineMeasureReport. The entry element is repeatable and limited to reference a VariableDefinition Profile.

The EvidenceList Profile is used to provide a list of Evidence Resources. The EvidenceList Profile is used to represent a group of evidence for the population for an EvidenceSynthesisEvidence using a summary data meta-analysis approach and is referenced from a MetaanalysisStudyGroup. The entry element is repeatable and limited to reference an Evidence Resource.

The NetEffectContributionList Profile is used to provide a list of Evidence Resources (NetEffectContribution Profile). The NetEffectContributionList Profile is used to represent a group of evidence for the population for a NetEffectEstimate (Profile of Evidence) using a net effect analysis approach and is referenced from a NetEffectContributions (Profile of Group). The entry element is repeatable and limited to reference a NetEffectContribution Resource.

The OutcomeList Profile is used to provide a list of outcomes. The OutcomeList Profile is referenced in the EvidenceReportSubject Profile as a way to define the set of outcomes that an EvidenceReport is about. The entry element is repeatable and limited to reference an OutcomeDefinition Profile or a VariableDefinition Profile.

The OutcomeVariablesList Profile is used to provide a list of EvidenceVariable Resources which represent outcome measures. The OutcomeVariablesList Profile is referenced in the ComparativeEvidenceReport Profile as a way to define the set of outcomes that is reported in an OutcomeMeasureReport or a SummaryOfFindings. The entry element is repeatable and limited to reference a VariableDefinition Profile.

The ParticipantFlowVariablesList Profile is used to provide a list of EvidenceVariable Resources which represent participant flow measures. The ParticipantFlowVariablesList Profile is referenced in the ComparativeEvidenceReport Profile as a way to define the set of outcomes that is reported in a ParticipantFlowReport. The entry element is repeatable and limited to reference a ParticipantFlowEvidenceVariable Profile.
