Mapping from http://hl7.org/fhir/3.0 to http://hl7.org/fhir/4.3
Group 1 Mapping from http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/QuestionnaireResponse|3.0.2 to QuestionnaireResponseversion: 4.3.0)
| Source Code | Relationship | Target Code | Comment |
| QuestionnaireResponse.meta (meta) | maps to wider concept | QuestionnaireResponse.meta | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.meta` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.meta` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The mappings for `QuestionnaireResponse.meta` do not cover the following types: Meta. The mappings for `QuestionnaireResponse.meta` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: lastUpdated, profile, security, tag, versionId. |
| QuestionnaireResponse.implicitRules (implicitRules) | is equivalent to | QuestionnaireResponse.implicitRules | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.implicitRules` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.implicitRules` as `Equivalent`. Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. This element is labelled as a modifier because the implicit rules may provide additional knowledge about the resource that modifies it's meaning or interpretation. |
| QuestionnaireResponse.language (language) | is equivalent to | QuestionnaireResponse.language | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.language` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.language` as `Equivalent`. Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute). |
| QuestionnaireResponse.text (text) | maps to wider concept | QuestionnaireResponse.text | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.text` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.text` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The mappings for `QuestionnaireResponse.text` do not cover the following types: Narrative. The mappings for `QuestionnaireResponse.text` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: div, status. Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded in formation is added later. |
| QuestionnaireResponse.contained (contained) | is equivalent to | QuestionnaireResponse.contained | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.contained` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.contained` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. |
| QuestionnaireResponse.identifier (identifier) | maps to wider concept | QuestionnaireResponse.identifier | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.identifier` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.identifier` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The mappings for `QuestionnaireResponse.identifier` do not cover the following types: Identifier. The mappings for `QuestionnaireResponse.identifier` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: assigner, period, system, type, use, value. |
| QuestionnaireResponse.basedOn (basedOn) | maps to wider concept | QuestionnaireResponse.basedOn | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.basedOn` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.basedOn` as `RelatedTo`. The standard extension `alternate-reference` has been mapped as the representation of FHIR STU3 element `QuestionnaireResponse.basedOn` with unmapped reference targets: CarePlan, ProcedureRequest, ReferralRequest. |
| QuestionnaireResponse.parent (parent) | maps to wider concept | QuestionnaireResponse.partOf | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.parent` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.partOf` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The mappings for `QuestionnaireResponse.parent` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: display, identifier, reference. The standard extension `alternate-reference` has been mapped as the representation of FHIR STU3 element `QuestionnaireResponse.parent` with unmapped reference targets: Observation, Procedure. Composition of questionnaire responses will be handled by the parent questionnaire having answers that reference the child questionnaire. For relationships to referrals, and other types of requests, use basedOn. |
| QuestionnaireResponse.questionnaire (questionnaire) | maps to wider concept | QuestionnaireResponse.questionnaire | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.questionnaire` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.questionnaire` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The mappings for `QuestionnaireResponse.questionnaire` do not cover the following types: Reference. The mappings for `QuestionnaireResponse.questionnaire` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: display, identifier, reference. If a QuestionnaireResponse references a Questionnaire, then the QuestionnaireResponse structure must be consistent with the Questionnaire (i.e. questions must be organized into the same groups, nested questions must still be nested, etc.). |
| QuestionnaireResponse.status (status) | is equivalent to | QuestionnaireResponse.status | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.status` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.status` as `Equivalent`. This element is labeled as a modifier because the status contains codes that mark the resource as not currently valid. |
| QuestionnaireResponse.subject (subject) | maps to wider concept | QuestionnaireResponse.subject | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.subject` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.subject` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The mappings for `QuestionnaireResponse.subject` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: display, identifier, reference. The standard extension `alternate-reference` has been mapped as the representation of FHIR STU3 element `QuestionnaireResponse.subject` with unmapped reference targets: Resource. If the Questionnaire declared a subjectType, the resource pointed to by this element must be an instance of one of the listed types. |
| QuestionnaireResponse.context (context) | maps to wider concept | QuestionnaireResponse.encounter | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.context` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.encounter` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The mappings for `QuestionnaireResponse.context` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: display, identifier, reference. The standard extension `alternate-reference` has been mapped as the representation of FHIR STU3 element `QuestionnaireResponse.context` with unmapped reference targets: Encounter, EpisodeOfCare. A questionnaire that was initiated during an encounter but not fully completed during the encounter would still generally be associated with the encounter. |
| QuestionnaireResponse.authored (authored) | is equivalent to | QuestionnaireResponse.authored | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.authored` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.authored` as `Equivalent`. May be different from the lastUpdateTime of the resource itself, because that reflects when the data was known to the server, not when the data was captured. This element is optional to allow for systems that may not know the value, however it SHOULD be populated if possible. |
| QuestionnaireResponse.author (author) | maps to wider concept | QuestionnaireResponse.author | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.author` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.author` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The standard extension `alternate-reference` has been mapped as the representation of FHIR STU3 element `QuestionnaireResponse.author` with unmapped reference targets: Device, Patient, Practitioner, RelatedPerson. Mapping a subject's answers to multiple choice options and determining what to put in the textual answer is a matter of interpretation. Authoring by device would indicate that some portion of the questionnaire had been auto-populated. |
| QuestionnaireResponse.source (source) | maps to wider concept | QuestionnaireResponse.source | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.source` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.source` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The standard extension `alternate-reference` has been mapped as the representation of FHIR STU3 element `QuestionnaireResponse.source` with unmapped reference targets: Patient, Practitioner, RelatedPerson. If not specified, no inference can be made about who provided the data. |
| QuestionnaireResponse.item (item) | maps to wider concept | QuestionnaireResponse.item | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.item` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.item` as `Equivalent`. Groups cannot have answers and therefore must nest directly within item. When dealing with questions, nesting must occur within each answer because some questions may have multiple answers (and the nesting occurs for each answer). |
| QuestionnaireResponse.item.linkId (linkId) | is equivalent to | QuestionnaireResponse.item.linkId | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.linkId` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.linkId` as `Equivalent`. |
| QuestionnaireResponse.item.definition (definition) | is equivalent to | QuestionnaireResponse.item.definition | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.definition` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.definition` as `Equivalent`. The ElementDefinition must be in a [StructureDefinition](https://hl7.org/fhir/structuredefinition.html) or a [DataElement](https://hl7.org/fhir/dataelement.html), and must have a fragment identifier that identifies the specific data element by its id (Element.id). E.g. http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Observation#Observation.value[x]. There is no need for this element if the item pointed to by the linkId has a definition listed. |
| QuestionnaireResponse.item.text (text) | is equivalent to | QuestionnaireResponse.item.text | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.text` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.text` as `Equivalent`. |
| QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer (answer) | maps to wider concept | QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer` as `Equivalent`. The value is nested because we cannot have a repeating structure that has variable type. |
| QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer.value[x] (value[x]) | maps to wider concept | QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer.value[x] | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer.value[x]` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer.value[x]` as `RelatedTo`. The mappings for `QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer.value[x]` do not cover the following types: Attachment. The target context `QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer.value[x]` is a choice-type element and cannot directly hold extensions. The context is moved up to parent element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer`. The standard extension `alternate-reference` has been mapped as PART of the representation of FHIR STU3 element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer.value[x]` with unmapped reference targets: Resource. Source element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer.value[x]` has unmapped reference types. While the target element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer.value[x]` is a choice type and does not allow extensions, the `alternate-reference` extension can be applied to Reference values within it. More complex structures (Attachment, Resource and Quantity) will typically be limited to electronic forms that can expose an appropriate user interface to capture the components and enforce the constraints of a complex data type. Additional complex types can be introduced through extensions. |
| QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer.item (item) | is equivalent to | QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer.item | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer.item` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer.item` as `Equivalent`. |
| QuestionnaireResponse.item.item (item) | is equivalent to | QuestionnaireResponse.item.item | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.item` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.item` as `Equivalent`. |

| QuestionnaireResponse.questionnaire (questionnaire) | is equivalent to | Extension (STU3: questionnaire additional types) | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.questionnaire` is mapped to FHIR R4B element `QuestionnaireResponse.questionnaire` as `SourceIsBroaderThanTarget`. The mappings for `QuestionnaireResponse.questionnaire` do not cover the following types: Reference. The mappings for `QuestionnaireResponse.questionnaire` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: display, identifier, reference. If a QuestionnaireResponse references a Questionnaire, then the QuestionnaireResponse structure must be consistent with the Questionnaire (i.e. questions must be organized into the same groups, nested questions must still be nested, etc.). |
Group 6 Mapping from http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/QuestionnaireResponse|3.0.2 to STU3: The subject this group's answers are about (new)version: 0.1.0)
| Source Code | Relationship | Target Code | Comment |
| QuestionnaireResponse.item.subject (subject) | is equivalent to | Extension (STU3: The subject this group's answers are about (new)) | Element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.subject` has a context of QuestionnaireResponse.item based on following the parent source element upwards and mapping to `QuestionnaireResponse`. Element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.subject` has no mapping targets in FHIR R4B. Typically, this is because the element has been added (is a new element). |
Group 7 Mapping from http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/QuestionnaireResponse|3.0.2 to STU3: value additional typesversion: 0.1.0)
| Source Code | Relationship | Target Code | Comment |

The mappings for `QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer.value[x]` do not cover the following types: Attachment. The target context `QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer.value[x]` is a choice-type element and cannot directly hold extensions. The context is moved up to parent element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer`. The standard extension `alternate-reference` has been mapped as PART of the representation of FHIR STU3 element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer.value[x]` with unmapped reference targets: Resource. Source element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer.value[x]` has unmapped reference types. While the target element `QuestionnaireResponse.item.answer.value[x]` is a choice type and does not allow extensions, the `alternate-reference` extension can be applied to Reference values within it. More complex structures (Attachment, Resource and Quantity) will typically be limited to electronic forms that can expose an appropriate user interface to capture the components and enforce the constraints of a complex data type. Additional complex types can be introduced through extensions. |
