Basic

Overview

The Basic API provides foundational functionalities for healthcare developers, offering essential tools and protocols to establish seamless communication and integration between diverse components of clinical applications. By leveraging the Basic API, developers can build robust, interoperable solutions, fostering improved data exchange, system connectivity, and overall efficiency within the healthcare ecosystem.

Use Cases:

  • Patient identification - Uniquely identify patients across systems and locations.
  • Demographics management - Maintain consistent demographic details like name, birth date, gender, addresses.
  • Identity verification - Confirm patient identity during appointments, admissions, medication pickup.
  • Master patient index - Link records from disparate systems to the same patient identity.
  • Population health - Aggregate basic patient details for analysis across populations.
  • Referrals - Share basic patient details with external providers during referrals.

Data Fields

Data FieldTypeDescription
resourceTypeBasicThis is a Basic resource
ididThe logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.
metaMetaThe metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.
implicitRulesuriA reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.
languagecodeThe base language in which the resource is written.
textNarrativeA human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.
containedBackboneElementThese resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.
extensionExtensionMay be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.
modifierExtensionExtensionMay be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).
identifierIdentifierIdentifier assigned to the resource for business purposes, outside the context of FHIR.
codeCodeableConceptIdentifies the 'type' of resource - equivalent to the resource name for other resources.
subjectReferenceIdentifies the patient, practitioner, device or any other resource that is the "focus" of this resource.
createddateIdentifies when the resource was first created.
authorReferenceIndicates who was responsible for creating the resource instance.
