A set of healthcare-related information that is assembled together into a single logical package that provides a single coherent statement of meaning, establishes its own context and that has clinical attestation with regard to who is making the statement. A Composition defines the structure and narrative content necessary for a document. However, a Composition alone does not constitute a document. Rather, the Composition must be the first entry in a Bundle where Bundle.type=document, and any other resources referenced from Composition must be included as subsequent entries in the Bundle (for example Patient, Practitioner, Encounter, etc.).

While the focus of this specification is on patient-specific clinical statements, this resource can also apply to other healthcare-related statements such as study protocol designs, healthcare invoices and other activities that are not necessarily patient-specific or clinical.

The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

bedingtes Pflichtfeld/bedingtes MS: Alle von einem Server bereitgestellten Ressourcen MÜSSEN über eine id verfügen. Von Clients erzeugte Ressourcen, die im Kontext einer CREATE-Interaktion übermittelt werden, MÜSSEN NICHT über eine idverfügen.

The 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.

When the resource last changed - e.g. when the version changed.

Alle von einem Server bereitgestellten Ressourcen SOLLEN über ein lastUpdate verfügen. Von Clients erzeugte Ressourcen, die im Kontext einer CREATE-Interaktion übermittelt werden, MÜSSEN NICHT über ein lastUpdateverfügen.

A list of profiles (references to StructureDefinition resources) that this resource claims to conform to. The URL is a reference to StructureDefinition.url.

It is up to the server and/or other infrastructure of policy to determine whether/how these claims are verified and/or updated over time. The list of profile URLs is a set.

A 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.

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. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

A 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.

HTML-Repräsentation des Dokumenten-Headers.
Bitte Hinweise unter Document Presentation beachten.
Der DokumentenHeader muss mindestens die folgenden Informationen enthalten:

• Composition.subject:Patient.name.family
• Composition.subject:Patient.birthDate
• Composition.subject:Patient.identifier:pid
• Composition.status
• Composition.type.text
• Composition.date
• Composition.title
• Composition.author.display

The status of the narrative - whether it's entirely generated (from just the defined data or the extensions too), or whether a human authored it and it may contain additional data.

The status of a resource narrative.

The actual narrative content, a stripped down version of XHTML.

The contents of the html element are an XHTML fragment containing only the basic html formatting elements described in chapters 7-11 and 15 of the HTML 4.0 standard, <a> elements (either name or href), images and internally contained stylesheets. The XHTML content SHALL NOT contain a head, a body, external stylesheet references, scripts, forms, base/link/xlink, frames, iframes and objects.

An Extension

Version number of the document

While each resource, including the composition itself, has its own version identifier, this is a formal identifier for the logical version of the composition as a whole. It would remain constant if the resources were moved to a new server, and all got new individual resource versions, for example.

Reference to the corresponding DiagnosticReport

May 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).

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

Unique identifier

Eine vom erzeugenden Subsystem vergebene, eindeutige DokumentenID.
Wenn es sich bei dem verwendeten Identifier um eine OID oder UUID handelt, so ist hier der Wert urn:ietf:rfc:3986 anzugeben und in Identifier.value das jeweilige Präfix urn:uuid: bzw. urn:oid: zu verwenden.
Beispiel:

\<identifier> 
    \<system value="urn:ietf:rfc:3986">  
    \<value value="urn:oid:2.16.840.1.113883.6.96"> 
\</identifier>

The purpose of this identifier.

Applications can assume that an identifier is permanent unless it explicitly says that it is temporary.

Identifies the purpose for this identifier, if known .

Allows the appropriate identifier for a particular context of use to be selected from among a set of identifiers.

A coded type for the identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose.

This element deals only with general categories of identifiers. It SHOULD not be used for codes that correspond 1..1 with the Identifier.system. Some identifiers may fall into multiple categories due to common usage. Where the system is known, a type is unnecessary because the type is always part of the system definition. However systems often need to handle identifiers where the system is not known. There is not a 1:1 relationship between type and system, since many different systems have the same type.

A coded type for an identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose.

Allows users to make use of identifiers when the identifier system is not known.

A reference to a code defined by a terminology system.

Codes may be defined very casually in enumerations, or code lists, up to very formal definitions such as SNOMED CT - see the HL7 v3 Core Principles for more information. Ordering of codings is undefined and SHALL NOT be used to infer meaning. Generally, at most only one of the coding values will be labeled as UserSelected = true.

Allows for alternative encodings within a code system, and translations to other code systems.

Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, a URL that describes a set values that are unique.

Hier ist stets der eindeutige Name (URL) des Namensraums anzugeben, aus dem der Identifier stammt. Hinweise zur Festlegung der URLs für lokale Namensräume sind in den Deutschen Basisprofilen beschrieben.
Begründung Pflichtfeld: system stellt in Kombination mit value die Eindeutigkeit eines Identifiers sicher.

There are many sets of identifiers. To perform matching of two identifiers, we need to know what set we're dealing with. The system identifies a particular set of unique identifiers.

The portion of the identifier typically relevant to the user and which is unique within the context of the system.

Enthält den eigentlichen Wert des Identifiers.
Begründung Pflichtfeld: Ist der Wert nicht bekannt, sollte der gesamte Slice weggelassen werden.

The workflow/clinical status of this composition. The status is a marker for the clinical standing of the document.

Already constrained to 1..1 with a fixed value of final in Subsysteme

The workflow/clinical status of the composition.

Need to be able to mark interim, amended, or withdrawn compositions or documents.

Specifies the particular kind of composition (e.g. History and Physical, Discharge Summary, Progress Note). This usually equates to the purpose of making the composition.

Begründung zu Must Support: Der Dokumenttyp ist für die Identifikation des Berichtes und die Zuordnung zu einem Subsystem für die weitere Verarbeitung erforderlich.

Hinweis für Implementierer: Der zu übermittelnde Bericht repräsentiert eine Zusammenfassung der strukturierten Daten aus dem Subsystem. Das Dokument KANN z.B. mittels KDL oder IHE-D-XDS-Typecodes klassifiziert werden.
Es KANN derzeit jedoch auch eine rein textuelle Beschreibung des Dokumenttyps angegeben werden.

Während KDL-Codes eine feingranulare Dokumentenklassifikation für die gezielte Suche nach medizinischen und Administrativen Dokumenten ermöglichen, sind IHE-XDS-Type-Codes für den einrichtungsübergreifenden Dokumentenaustausch maßgeblich. Der XDS-Type-Code kann mit Hilfe der bereitgestellten ConceptMaps aus dem KDL-Code ermittelt werden. Weitere Typisierungen (z.B. nach SNOMED oder LOINC) sind uneingeschränkt erlaubt. [Konsens der Arbeitsgruppe vom 18.02.2022]. Im Falle, dass der Code 'UNK' entsprechend der ConceptMap verwendet werden soll, MUSS das System 'http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-NullFlavor' verwendet werden.

Begründung Must-Support: Ein Patientenbezug des Dokument MUSS stets zum Zwecke der Nachvollziehbarkeit und Datenintegrität vorliegen.

Essential metadata for searching for the composition. Identifies who and/or what the composition/document is about.

A reference to a location at which the other resource is found. The reference may be a relative reference, in which case it is relative to the service base URL, or an absolute URL that resolves to the location where the resource is found. The reference may be version specific or not. If the reference is not to a FHIR RESTful server, then it should be assumed to be version specific. Internal fragment references (start with '#') refer to contained resources.

Validating person or organization

Identifies who has taken on the responsibility for accuracy of the composition content.

Custodian organization

This is useful when documents are derived from a composition - provides guidance for how to get the latest version of the document. This is optional because this is sometimes not known by the authoring system, and can be inferred by context. However, it is important that this information be known when working with a derived document, so providing a custodian is encouraged.

Identifies where to go to find the current version, where to report issues, etc.

The label for this particular section. This will be part of the rendered content for the document, and is often used to build a table of contents.

The title identifies the section for a human reader. The title must be consistent with the narrative of the resource that is the target of the section.content reference. Generally, sections SHOULD have titles, but in some documents, it is unnecessary or inappropriate. Typically, this is where a section has subsections that have their own adequately distinguishing title, or documents that only have a single section. Most Implementation Guides will make section title to be a required element.

Section headings are often standardized for different types of documents. They give guidance to humans on how the document is organized.

A code identifying the kind of content contained within the section. This must be consistent with the section title.

The code identifies the section for an automated processor of the document. This is particularly relevant when using profiles to control the structure of the document.

If the section has content (instead of sub-sections), the section.code does not change the meaning or interpretation of the resource that is the content of the section in the comments for the section.code.

Classification of a section of a composition/document.

Provides computable standardized labels to topics within the document.

A reference to a code defined by a terminology system.

Codes may be defined very casually in enumerations, or code lists, up to very formal definitions such as SNOMED CT - see the HL7 v3 Core Principles for more information. Ordering of codings is undefined and SHALL NOT be used to infer meaning. Generally, at most only one of the coding values will be labeled as UserSelected = true.

Allows for alternative encodings within a code system, and translations to other code systems.

A human-readable narrative that contains the attested content of the section, 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.

Pathology diagnostic report

Das Dokument kann in mehrere Kapitel und Unterkapitel gegliedert werden.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained 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 can 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).

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

The label for this particular section. This will be part of the rendered content for the document, and is often used to build a table of contents.

The title identifies the section for a human reader. The title must be consistent with the narrative of the resource that is the target of the section.content reference. Generally, sections SHOULD have titles, but in some documents, it is unnecessary or inappropriate. Typically, this is where a section has subsections that have their own adequately distinguishing title, or documents that only have a single section. Most Implementation Guides will make section title to be a required element.

Section headings are often standardized for different types of documents. They give guidance to humans on how the document is organized.

A code identifying the kind of content contained within the section. This must be consistent with the section title.

The code identifies the section for an automated processor of the document. This is particularly relevant when using profiles to control the structure of the document.

If the section has content (instead of sub-sections), the section.code does not change the meaning or interpretation of the resource that is the content of the section in the comments for the section.code.

Classification of a section of a composition/document.

Provides computable standardized labels to topics within the document.

A reference to a code defined by a terminology system.

Codes may be defined very casually in enumerations, or code lists, up to very formal definitions such as SNOMED CT - see the HL7 v3 Core Principles for more information. Ordering of codings is undefined and SHALL NOT be used to infer meaning. Generally, at most only one of the coding values will be labeled as UserSelected = true.

Allows for alternative encodings within a code system, and translations to other code systems.

A human-readable narrative that contains the attested content of the section, 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.
