Resource Profile: Cancer Patient Profile

Defining URL:http://hl7.org/fhir/us/mcode/StructureDefinition/mcode-cancer-patient
Version:2.0.0
Name:CancerPatient
Title:Cancer Patient Profile
Status:Active as of 1/18/22 3:17 AM
Definition:

A patient who has been diagnosed with or is receiving medical treatment for a malignant growth or tumor. The is the most essential profile in mCODE, since it is referenced by many other profiles. The only difference between the mCODE Patient profile and the US Core Patient Profile is that Patient.deceased is a must-support element in mCODE.

Publisher:HL7 International Clinical Interoperability Council
Source Resource:XML / JSON / Turtle

The official URL for this profile is: 

http://hl7.org/fhir/us/mcode/StructureDefinition/mcode-cancer-patient

Conformance

Patient resources representing Cancer Patients in the scope of mCODE (as defined on the Identifying in-scope Patients page) MUST conform to this profile. Any resource intended to conform to this profile SHOULD populate meta.profile accordingly.
