ActCareProvisionCode

Description:The type and scope of responsibility taken-on by the performer of the Act for a specific subject of care.

ActClaimAttachmentCategoryCode

No description

ActClass

A code specifying the major type of Act that this Act-instance represents. Constraints: The classCode domain is a tightly controlled vocabulary, not an external or user-defined vocabulary. Every Act-instance must have a classCode. If the act class is not further specified, the most general Act.classCode (ACT) is used. The Act.classCode must be a generalization of the specific Act concept (e.g., as expressed in Act.code), in other words, the Act concepts conveyed in an Act must be specializations of the Act.classCode. Especially, Act.code is not a “modifier” that can alter the meaning of a class code. (See Act.code for contrast.)

ActClassAccession

A unit of work, a grouper of work items as defined by the system performing that work. Typically some laboratory order fulfillers communicate references to accessions in their communications regarding laboratory orders. Often one or more specimens are related to an accession such that in some environments the accession number is taken as an identifier for a specimen (group).

ActClassAccommodation

An accommodation is a service provided for a Person or other LivingSubject in which a place is provided for the subject to reside for a period of time. Commonly used to track the provision of ward, private and semi-private accommodations for a patient.

ActClassAccount

A financial account established to track the net result of financial acts.

ActClassAcquisitionExposure

Description: An acquisition exposure act describes the proximity (location and time) through which the participating entity was potentially exposed to a physical (including energy), chemical or biological agent from another entity. The acquisition exposure act is used in conjunction with transmission exposure acts as part of an analysis technique for contact tracing. Although an exposure can be decomposed into transmission and acquisition exposures, there is no requirement that all exposures be treated in this fashion. Constraints: The Acquisition Exposure inherits the participation constraints that apply to Exposure with the following exception. The EXPSRC (exposure source) participation must never be associated with the Transmission Exposure either directly or via context conduction.

ActClassAction

Sender asks addressee to do something depending on the focal Act of the payload. An example is “fulfill this order”. Addressee has responsibilities to either reject the message or to act on it in an appropriate way (specified by the specific receiver responsibilities for the interaction).

ActClassBattery

Description:A battery specifies a set of observations. These observations typically have a logical or practical grouping for generally accepted clinical or functional purposes, such as observations that are run together because of automation. A battery can define required and optional components and, in some cases, will define complex rules that determine whether or not a particular observation is made. Examples: “Blood pressure”, “Full blood count”, “Chemistry panel”.

ActClassBioSequence

Description:A sequence of biomolecule like the DNA, RNA, protein and the like.

ActClassBioSequenceVariation

Description:A variation in a sequence as described by BioSequence.

ActClassBoundedRoi

A Region of Interest (ROI) specified for a multidimensional observation, such as an Observation Series (OBSSER). The ROI is specified using a set of observation criteria, each delineating the boundary of the region in one of the dimensions in the multidimensional observation. The relationship between a ROI and its referenced Act is specified through an ActRelationship of type subject (SUBJ), which must always be present. Each of the boundary criteria observations is connected with the ROI using ActRelationships of type “has component” (COMP). In each boundary criterion, the Act.code names the dimension and the Observation.value specifies the range of values inside the region. Typically the bounded dimension is continuous, and so the Observation.value will be an interval (IVL) data type. The Observation.value need not be specified if the respective dimension is only named but not constrained. For example, an ROI for the QT interval of a certain beat in ECG Lead II would contain 2 boundary criteria, one naming the interval in time (constrained), and the other naming the interval in ECG Lead II (only named, but not constrained).

ActClassCareProvision

An Act that of taking on whole or partial responsibility for, or attention to, safety and well-being of a subject of care. Discussion: A care provision event may exist without any other care actions taking place. For example, when a patient is assigned to the care of a particular health professional. In request (RQO) mood care provision communicates a referral, which is a request:

  • from one party (linked as a participant of type author (AUT)),
  • to another party (linked as a participant of type performer (PRF),
  • to take responsibility for a scope specified by the code attribute,
  • for an entity (linked as a participant of type subject (SBJ)). The scope of the care for which responsibility is taken is identified by code attribute. In event (EVN) mood care provision indicates the effective time interval of a specified scope of responsibility by a performer (PRF) or set of performers (PRF) for a subject (SBJ). Examples:
    1. Referral from GP to a specialist.
    2. Assignment of a patient or group of patients to the case list of a health professional.
    3. Assignment of inpatients to the care of particular nurses for a working shift.
ActClassCategory

A group of entries within a composition or topic that have a common characteristic - for example, Examination, Diagnosis, Management OR Subjective, Objective, Analysis, Plan. The distinction from Topic relates to value sets. For Category there is a bounded list of things like “Examination”, “Diagnosis” or SOAP categories. For Topic the list is wide open to any clinical condition or reason for a part of an encounter. A CATEGORY MAY CONTAIN ENTRIES.

ActClassCdaLevelOneClinicalDocument

A clinical document that conforms to Level One of the HL7 Clinical Document Architecture (CDA)

ActClassClinicalDocument

A clinical document is a documentation of clinical observations and services, with the following characteristics: (1) Persistence - A clinical document continues to exist in an unaltered state, for a time period defined by local and regulatory requirements; (2) Stewardship - A clinical document is maintained by a person or organization entrusted with its care; (3) Potential for authentication - A clinical document is an assemblage of information that is intended to be legally authenticated; (4) Wholeness - Authentication of a clinical document applies to the whole and does not apply to portions of the document without the full context of the document; (5) Human readability - A clinical document is human readable.”

ActClassClinicalTrial

The set of actions that define an experiment to assess the effectiveness and/or safety of a biopharmaceutical product (food, drug, device, etc.). In definition mood, this set of actions is often embodied in a clinical trial protocol; in event mood, this designates the aggregate act of applying the actions to one or more subjects.

ActClassClinicalTrialTimepointEvent

An identified point during a clinical trial at which one or more actions are scheduled to be performed (definition mood), or are actually performed (event mood). The actions may or may not involve an encounter between the subject and a healthcare professional.

ActClassCluster

A group of entries within a composition, topic or category that have a logical association with one another. The representation of a single observation or action might itself be multi-part. The data might need to be represented as a nested set of values, as a table, list, or as a time series. The Cluster class permits such aggregation within an entry for such compound data. Examples include “Haematology investigations” which might include two or more distinct batteries. A cluster may contain batteries and/or individual entries

ActClassCompositeOrder

No description

ActClassComposition

A context representing a grouped commitment of information to the EHR. It is considered the unit of modification of the record, the unit of transmission in record extracts, and the unit of attestation by authorizing clinicians. A composition represents part of a patient record originating from a single interaction between an authenticator and the record. Unless otherwise stated all statements within a composition have the same authenticator, apply to the same patient and were recorded in a single session of use of a single application. A composition contains organizers and entries.

ActClassConcern

No description

ActClassCondition

An observable finding or state that persists over time and tends to require intervention or management, and, therefore, distinguished from an Observation made at a point in time; may exist before an Observation of the Condition is made or after interventions to manage the Condition are undertaken. Examples: equipment repair status, device recall status, a health risk, a financial risk, public health risk, pregnancy, health maintenance, chronic illness

ActClassConditionNode

Deprecation Comment: This value set has been deprecated because its root code was deprecated in an earlier vocabulary release.

ActClassConsent

The Consent class represents informed consents and all similar medico-legal transactions between the patient (or his legal guardian) and the provider. Examples are informed consent for surgical procedures, informed consent for clinical trials, advanced beneficiary notice, against medical advice decline from service, release of information agreement, etc. The details of consents vary. Often an institution has a number of different consent forms for various purposes, including reminding the physician about the topics to mention. Such forms also include patient education material. In electronic medical record communication, consents thus are information-generating acts on their own and need to be managed similar to medical activities. Thus, Consent is modeled as a special class of Act. The “signatures” to the consent document are represented electronically through Participation instances to the consent object. Typically an informed consent has Participation.typeCode of “performer”, the healthcare provider informing the patient, and “consenter”, the patient or legal guardian. Some consent may associate a witness or a notary public (e.g., living wills, advanced directives). In consents where a healthcare provider is not required (e.g. living will), the performer may be the patient himself or a notary public. Some consent has a minimum required delay between the consent and the service, so as to allow the patient to rethink his decisions. This minimum delay can be expressed in the act definition by the ActRelationship.pauseQuantity attribute that delays the service until the pause time has elapsed after the consent has been completed.

ActClassContainer

Used to group a set of acts sharing a common context. Container structures can nest within other context structures - such as where a document is contained within a folder, or a folder is contained within an EHR extract. Open issue: There is a clear conflict between this act and the use of the more general “component” ActRelationship. The question that must be resolved is what should be the class code of the parent (or containing) Act.

ActClassContainerRegistration

An Act where a container is registered either via an automated sensor, such as a barcode reader, or by manual receipt

ActClassContract

An agreement of obligation between two or more parties that is subject to contractual law and enforcement.

ActClassControlAct

An act representing a system action such as the change of state of another act or the initiation of a query. All control acts represent trigger events in the HL7 context. ControlActs may occur in different moods.

ActClassCorrelatedObservationSequences

Container for Observation Sequences (Observations whose values are contained in LIST<>’s) having values correlated with each other. Each contained Observation Sequence LIST<> must be the same length. Values in the LIST<>’s are correlated based on index. E.g. the values in position 2 in all the LIST<>’s are correlated. This is analogous to a table where each column is an Observation Sequence with a LIST<> of values, and each row in the table is a correlation between the columns. For example, a 12-lead ECG would contain 13 sequences: one sequence for time, and a sequence for each of the 12 leads.

ActClassCoverage

When used in the EVN mood, this concept means with respect to a covered party:

  1. A health care insurance policy or plan that is contractually binding between two or more parties; or
  2. A health care program, usually administered by government entities, that provides coverage to persons determined eligible under the terms of the program.
    • When used in the definition (DEF) mood, COV means potential coverage for a patient who may or may not be a covered party.
    • The concept’s meaning is fully specified by the choice of ActCoverageTypeCode (abstract) ActProgramCode or ActInsurancePolicyCode.
ActClassDetectedIssue

An observation identifying a potential adverse outcome as a result of an Act or combination of Acts. Examples: Detection of a drug-drug interaction; Identification of a late-submission for an invoice; Requesting discharge for a patient who does not meet hospital-defined discharge criteria. Discussion: This class is commonly used for identifying ‘business rule’ or ‘process’ problems that may result in a refusal to carry out a particular request. In some circumstances it may be possible to ‘bypass’ a problem by modifying the request to acknowledge the issue and/or by providing some form of mitigation. Constraints: the Act or Acts that may cause the the adverse outcome are the target of a subject ActRelationship. The subbtypes of this concept indicate the type of problem being detected (e.g. drug-drug interaction) while the Observation.value is used to repesent a specific problem code (e.g. specific drug-drug interaction id).

ActClassDeterminantPeptide

Description:A determinant peptide in a polypeptide as described by polypeptide.

ActClassDiagnosticImage

Class for holding attributes unique to diagnostic images.

ActClassDiet

No description

ActClassDisciplinaryAction

An action taken with respect to a subject Entity by a regulatory or authoritative body with supervisory capacity over that entity. The action is taken in response to behavior by the subject Entity that body finds to be undesirable. Suspension, license restrictions, monetary fine, letter of reprimand, mandated training, mandated supervision, etc.Examples:

ActClassDocument

Specialization of Act to add the characteristics unique to document management services.

ActClassDocumentBody

A context that distinguishes the body of a document from the document header. This is seen, for instance, in HTML documents, which have discrete <head> and <body> elements.

ActClassDocumentSection

A context that subdivides the body of a document. Document sections are typically used for human navigation, to give a reader a clue as to the expected content. Document sections are used to organize and provide consistency to the contents of a document body. Document sections can contain document sections and can contain entries.

ActClassElectronicHealthRecord

A context that comprises all compositions. The EHR is an extract that includes the entire chart. NOTE: In an exchange scenario, an EHR is a specialization of an extract.

ActClassEncounter

An interaction between a patient and healthcare participant(s) for the purpose of providing patient service(s) or assessing the health status of a patient. For example, outpatient visit to multiple departments, home health support (including physical therapy), inpatient hospital stay, emergency room visit, field visit (e.g., traffic accident), office visit, occupational therapy, telephone call.

ActClassExposure

The action of coming into sufficient physical proximity to allow physical or chemical interaction. Examples include: exposure to radiation, inhalation of peanut aerosol or viral particles. This includes intended exposure (e.g. administering a drug product) as well as accidental or environmental exposure. Actual vs. potential exposure can be differentiated using Act.uncertaintyCode. The agent to which the subject was exposed is conveyed as a Direct participation or specialization there-of. Constraints: The following Participations should be used with the following Roles and Entities to distinguish the specific entities:

  • The exposed entity is the entity of interest that is the recipient of the exposure and potentially affected. This is conveyed through the subject (SBJ) Participation.
  • An entity that has carried the agent transmitted in the exposure is the “exposure source” (EXSRC). For example:
    • a person or animal who carried an infectious disease and interacts (EXSRC) with another person or animal (SBJ) transmitting the disease agent; or
    • a place or other environment (EXSRC) and a person or animal (SBJ) who is exposed in the presence of this environment.
  • When it is unknown whether a participating entity is the source of the agent (EXSRC) or the target of the transmission (SBJ), also known as “exposure contact”, the “participant” (PART) is used.
  • The substance to which the subject is exposed that carries the exposure agent or the chemical substance of interest itself, participates as a “consumable” (CSM). There are at least two configurations: (a) the player of the Role that participates as CSM is the chemical or biological substance mixed or carried by the scoper-entity of the Role (e.g., ingredient role); or (b) the player of the Role that participates as CSM is a mixture known to contain the chemical, radiological or biological substance of interest.
  • The device specifically used to administer the substance is associated using the device (DEV) Participation. This may be a device intentionally used (such as applicator device) or it may be a thing that accidentally carried this substance; for instance, an infected needle or knife. The same entity may be related in the act as both EXSRC and DEV.
ActClassExpressionLevel

Description:An expression level of genes/proteins or other expressed genomic entities.

ActClassExtract

This context represents the part of a patient record conveyed in a single communication. It is drawn from a providing system for the purposes of communication to a requesting process (which might be another repository, a client application or a middleware service such as an electronic guideline engine), and supporting the faithful inclusion of the communicated data in the receiving system. An extract may be the entirety of the patient record as held by the sender or it may be a part of that record (e.g. changes since a specified date). An extract contains folders or compositions. An extract cannot contain another extract.

ActClassFinancialAdjudication

A transformation process where a requested invoice is transformed into an agreed invoice. Represents the adjudication processing of an invoice (claim). Adjudication results can be adjudicated as submitted, with adjustments or refused. Adjudication results comprise 2 components: the adjudication processing results and a restated (or adjudicated) invoice or claim

ActClassFinancialContract

A contract whose value is measured in monetary terms.

ActClassFinancialTransaction

A sub-class of Act representing any transaction between two accounts whose value is measured in monetary terms. In the “intent” mood, communicates a request for a transaction to be initiated, or communicates a transfer of value between two accounts. In the “event” mood, communicates the posting of a transaction to an account.

ActClassFolder

No description

ActClassGenomicObservation

Description:An observation of genomic phenomena.

ActClassGrouper

No description

ActClassIncident

An event that occurred outside of the control of one or more of the parties involved. Includes the concept of an accident.

ActClassInform

The act of transmitting information and understanding about a topic to a subject where the participation association must be SBJ. Discussion: This act may be used to request that a patient or provider be informed about an Act, or to indicate that a person was informed about a particular act.

ActClassInformation

Sender sends payload to addressee as information. Addressee does not have responsibilities beyond serving addressee’s own interest (i.e., read and memorize if you see fit). This is equivalent to an FYI on a memo.

ActClassInvestigation

An formalized inquiry into the circumstances surrounding a particular unplanned event or potential event for the purposes of identifying possible causes and contributing factors for the event. This investigation could be conducted at a local institutional level or at the level of a local or national government.

ActClassInvoiceElement

Represents concepts related to invoice processing in health care

ActClassJurisdictionalPolicy

Description:A mandate, regulation, obligation, requirement, rule, or expectation unilaterally imposed by a jurisdiction on:

  • The activity of another party
  • The behavior of another party
  • The manner in which an act is executed Examples:A jurisdictional mandate regarding the prescribing and dispensing of a particular medication. A jurisdictional privacy or security regulation dictating the manner in which personal health information is disclosed. A jurisdictional requirement that certain services or health conditions are reported to a monitoring program, e.g., immunizations, methadone treatment, or cancer registries.
ActClassLeftLateralDecubitus

Deprecation Comment: This value set has been deprecated because its root code was deprecated in an earlier vocabulary release.

ActClassLocus

Description:The position of a gene (or other significant sequence) on the genome.

ActClassMonitoringProgram

An officially or unofficially instituted program to track acts of a particular type or categorization.

ActClassObservation

Description:An act that is intended to result in new information about a subject. The main difference between Observations and other Acts is that Observations have a value attribute. The code attribute of Observation and the value attribute of Observation must be considered in combination to determine the semantics of the observation. Discussion: Structurally, many observations are name-value-pairs, where the Observation.code (inherited from Act) is the name and the Observation.value is the value of the property. Such a construct is also known as a variable (a named feature that can assume a value) hence, the Observation class is always used to hold generic name-value-pairs or variables, even though the variable valuation may not be the result of an elaborate observation method. It may be a simple answer to a question or it may be an assertion or setting of a parameter. As with all Act statements, Observation statements describe what was done, and in the case of Observations, this includes a description of what was actually observed (results or answers); and those results or answers are part of the observation and not split off into other objects. The method of action is asserted by the Observation classCode or its subclasses at the least granular level, by the Observation.code attribute value at the medium level of granularity, and by the attribute value of observation.methodCode when a finer level of granularity is required. The method in whole or in part may also appear in the attribute value of Observation.value when using coded data types to express the value of the attribute. Relevant aspects of methodology may also be restated in value when the results themselves imply or state a methodology. An observation may consist of component observations each having their own Observation.code and Observation.value. In this case, the composite observation may not have an Observation.value for itself. For instance, a white blood cell count consists of the sub-observations for the counts of the various granulocytes, lymphocytes and other normal or abnormal blood cells (e.g., blasts). The overall white blood cell count Observation itself may therefore not have a value by itself (even though it could have one, e.g., the sum total of white blood cells). Thus, as long as an Act is essentially an Act of recognizing and noting information about a subject, it is an Observation, regardless of whether it has a simple value by itself or whether it has sub-observations. Even though observations are professional acts (see Act) and as such are intentional actions, this does not require that every possible outcome of an observation be pondered in advance of it being actually made. For instance, differential white blood cell counts (WBC) rarely show blasts, but if they do, this is part of the WBC observation even though blasts might not be predefined in the structure of a normal WBC. Clinical documents commonly have Subjective and Objective findings, both of which are kinds of Observations. In addition, clinical documents commonly contain Assessments, which are also kinds of Observations. Thus, the establishment of a diagnosis is an Observation. Examples:

  • Recording the results of a Family History Assessment
  • Laboratory test and associated result
  • Physical exam test and associated result
  • Device temperature
  • Soil lead level
ActClassObservationSeries

Container for Correlated Observation Sequences sharing a common frame of reference. All Observations of the same cd must be comparable and relative to the common frame of reference. For example, a 3-channel ECG device records a 12-lead ECG in 4 steps (3 leads at a time). Each of the separate 3-channel recordings would be in their own “OBSCOR”. And, all 4 OBSCOR would be contained in one OBSSER because all the times are relative to the same origin (beginning of the recording) and all the ECG signals were from a fixed set of electrodes.

ActClassOrganizationalPolicy

Description:A mandate, obligation, requirement, rule, or expectation unilaterally imposed by an organization on:

  • The activity of another party
  • The behavior of another party
  • The manner in which an act is executed Examples:A clinical or research protocols imposed by a payer, a malpractice insurer, or an institution to which a provider must adhere. A mandate imposed by a denominational institution for a provider to provide or withhold certain information from the patient about treatment options.
ActClassOutbreak

An outbreak represents a series of public health cases. The date on which an outbreak starts is the earliest date of onset among the cases assigned to the outbreak, and its ending date is the last date of onset among the cases assigned to the outbreak.

ActClassOutbreak2

An Outbreak is a concern resulting from a series of public health cases.

ActClassOverlayRoi

A Region of Interest (ROI) specified for an image using an overlay shape. Typically used to make reference to specific regions in images, e.g., to specify the location of a radiologic finding in an image or to specify the site of a physical finding by “circling” a region in a schematic picture of a human body. The units of the coordinate values are in pixels. The origin is in the upper left hand corner, with positive X values going to the right and positive Y values going down. The relationship between a ROI and its referenced Act is specified through an ActRelationship of type “subject” (SUBJ), which must always be present.

ActClassPhenotype

Description:A genomic phenomenon that is expressed externally in the organism.

ActClassPolicy

Description:A mandate, regulation, obligation, requirement, rule, or expectation unilaterally imposed by one party on:

  • The activity of another party
  • The behavior of another party
  • The manner in which an act is executed
ActClassPolypeptide

Description:A polypeptide resulting from the translation of a gene.

ActClassPosition

An observation denoting the physical location of a person or thing based on a reference coordinate system.

ActClassPositionAccuracy

Description:An observation representing the degree to which the assignment of the spatial coordinates, based on a matching algorithm by a geocoding engine against a reference spatial database, matches true or accepted values.

ActClassPositionCoordinate

Description:An observation representing one of a set of numerical values used to determine the position of a place. The name of the coordinate value is determined by the reference coordinate system.

ActClassProcedure

An Act whose immediate and primary outcome (post-condition) is the alteration of the physical condition of the subject. Examples: : Procedures may involve the disruption of some body surface (e.g. an incision in a surgical procedure), but they also include conservative procedures such as reduction of a luxated join, chiropractic treatment, massage, balneotherapy, acupuncture, shiatsu, etc. Outside of clinical medicine, procedures may be such things as alteration of environments (e.g. straightening rivers, draining swamps, building dams) or the repair or change of machinery etc.

ActClassProcessStep

ActCodeProcessStep - Property applies to value sets that contain classCode values in structural vocabularies. It identifies by name the Concept Domain(s) that represent(s) the concepts that are sub-types of the concept collection established by the value sets of class codes.

ActClassProne

Deprecation Comment: This value set has been deprecated because its root code was deprecated in an earlier vocabulary release.

ActClassPublicHealthCase

A public health case is an Observation representing a condition or event that has a specific significance for public health. Typically it involves an instance or instances of a reportable infectious disease or other condition. The public health case can include a health-related event concerning a single individual or it may refer to multiple health-related events that are occurrences of the same disease or condition of interest to public health. An outbreak involving multiple individuals may be considered as a type of public health case. A public health case definition (Act.moodCode = “definition”) includes the description of the clinical, laboratory, and epidemiologic indicators associated with a disease or condition of interest to public health. There are case definitions for conditions that are reportable, as well as for those that are not. There are also case definitions for outbreaks. A public health case definition is a construct used by public health for the purpose of counting cases, and should not be used as clinical indications for treatment. Examples include AIDS, toxic-shock syndrome, and salmonellosis and their associated indicators that are used to define a case.

ActClassPublicHealthCase2

A public health case is a Concern about an observation or event that has a specific significance for public health. The creation of a PublicHealthCase initiates the tracking of the object of concern. The decision to track is related to but somewhat independent of the underlying event or observation.

ActClassROI

Regions of Interest (ROI) within a subject Act. Primarily used for making secondary observations on a subset of a subject observation. The relationship between a ROI and its referenced Act is specified through an ActRelationship of type “subject” (SUBJ), which must always be present.

ActClassRecordOrganizer

No description

ActClassRegistration

Represents the act of maintaining information about the registration of its associated registered subject. The subject can be either an Act or a Role, and includes subjects such as lab exam definitions, drug protocol definitions, prescriptions, persons, patients, practitioners, and equipment. The registration may have a unique identifier - separate from the unique identification of the subject - as well as a core set of related participations and act relationships that characterize the registration event and aid in the disposition of the subject information by a receiving system.Usage notes:

ActClassReverseTrendelenburg

Deprecation Comment: This value set has been deprecated because its root code was deprecated in an earlier vocabulary release.

ActClassReview

The act of examining and evaluating the subject, usually another act. For example, “This prescription needs to be reviewed in 2 months.”

ActClassRightLateralDecubitus

Deprecation Comment: This value set has been deprecated because its root code was deprecated in an earlier vocabulary release.

ActClassRoot

A record of something that is being done, has been done, can be done, or is intended or requested to be done. Examples:The kinds of acts that are common in health care are (1) a clinical observation, (2) an assessment of health condition (such as problems and diagnoses), (3) healthcare goals, (4) treatment services (such as medication, surgery, physical and psychological therapy), (5) assisting, monitoring or attending, (6) training and education services to patients and their next of kin, (7) and notary services (such as advanced directives or living will), (8) editing and maintaining documents, and many others. Discussion and Rationale: Acts are the pivot of the RIM; all domain information and processes are represented primarily in Acts. Any profession or business, including healthcare, is primarily constituted of intentional and occasionally non-intentional actions, performed and recorded by responsible actors. An Act-instance is a record of such an action. Acts connect to Entities in their Roles through Participations and connect to other Acts through ActRelationships. Participations are the authors, performers and other responsible parties as well as subjects and beneficiaries (which includes tools and material used in the performance of the act, which are also subjects). The moodCode distinguishes between Acts that are meant as factual records, vs. records of intended or ordered services, and the other modalities in which act can appear. One of the Participations that all acts have (at least implicitly) is a primary author, who is responsible of the Act and who “owns” the act. Responsibility for the act means responsibility for what is being stated in the Act and as what it is stated. Ownership of the act is assumed in the sense of who may operationally modify the same act. Ownership and responsibility of the Act is not the same as ownership or responsibility of what the Act-object refers to in the real world. The same real world activity can be described by two people, each being the author of their Act, describing the same real world activity. Yet one can be a witness while the other can be a principal performer. The performer has responsibilities for the physical actions; the witness only has responsibility for making a true statement to the best of his or her ability. The two Act-instances may even disagree, but because each is properly attributed to its author, such disagreements can exist side by side and left to arbitration by a recipient of these Act-instances. In this sense, an Act-instance represents a “statement” according to Rector and Nowlan (1991) [Foundations for an electronic medical record. Methods Inf Med. 30.] Rector and Nowlan have emphasized the importance of understanding the medical record not as a collection of facts, but “a faithful record of what clinicians have heard, seen, thought, and done.” Rector and Nowlan go on saying that “the other requirements for a medical record, e.g., that it be attributable and permanent, follow naturally from this view.” Indeed the Act class is this attributable statement, and the rules of updating acts (discussed in the state-transition model, see Act.statusCode) versus generating new Act-instances are designed according to this principle of permanent attributable statements. Rector and Nolan focus on the electronic medical record as a collection of statements, while attributed statements, these are still mostly factual statements. However, the Act class goes beyond this limitation to attributed factual statements, representing what is known as “speech-acts” in linguistics and philosophy. The notion of speech-act includes that there is pragmatic meaning in language utterances, aside from just factual statements; and that these utterances interact with the real world to change the state of affairs, even directly cause physical activities to happen. For example, an order is a speech act that (provided it is issued adequately) will cause the ordered action to be physically performed. The speech act theory has culminated in the seminal work by Austin (1962) [How to do things with words. Oxford University Press]. An activity in the real world may progress from defined, through planned and ordered to executed, which is represented as the mood of the Act. Even though one might think of a single activity as progressing from planned to executed, this progression is reflected by multiple Act-instances, each having one and only one mood that will not change along the Act-instance life cycle. This is because the attribution and content of speech acts along this progression of an activity may be different, and it is often critical that a permanent and faithful record be maintained of this progression. The specification of orders or promises or plans must not be overwritten by the specification of what was actually done, so as to allow comparing actions with their earlier specifications. Act-instances that describe this progression of the same real world activity are linked through the ActRelationships (of the relationship category “sequel”). Act as statements or speech-acts are the only representation of real world facts or processes in the HL7 RIM. The truth about the real world is constructed through a combination (and arbitration) of such attributed statements only, and there is no class in the RIM whose objects represent “objective state of affairs” or “real processes” independent from attributed statements. As such, there is no distinction between an activity and its documentation. Every Act includes both to varying degrees. For example, a factual statement made about recent (but past) activities, authored (and signed) by the performer of such activities, is commonly known as a procedure report or original documentation (e.g., surgical procedure report, clinic note etc.). Conversely, a status update on an activity that is presently in progress, authored by the performer (or a close observer) is considered to capture that activity (and is later superceded by a full procedure report). However, both status update and procedure report are acts of the same kind, only distinguished by mood and state (see statusCode) and completeness of the information.

ActClassScopeOfPracticePolicy

Description:An ethical or clinical obligation, requirement, rule, or expectation imposed or strongly encouraged by organizations that oversee particular clinical domains or provider certification which define the boundaries within which a provider may practice and which may have legal basis or ramifications on:

  • The activity of another party
  • The behavior of another party
  • The manner in which an act is executed Examples:An ethical obligation for a provider to fully inform a patient about all treatment options. An ethical obligation for a provider not to disclose personal health information that meets certain criteria, e.g., where disclosure might result in harm to the patient or another person. The set of health care services which a provider is credentialed or privileged to provide.

ActClassStanding

Deprecation Comment: This value set has been deprecated because its root code was deprecated in an earlier vocabulary release.

ActClassStateTransitionControl

Sender transmits a status change pertaining to the focal act of the payload. This status of the focal act is the final state of the state transition. This can be either a request or a command, according to the mood of the control act.

ActClassStorage

The act of putting something away for safe keeping. The “something” may be physical object such as a specimen, or information, such as observations regarding a specimen.

ActClassSubjectBodyPosition

ActClassSubjectPhysicalPosition

The spatial relationship of a subject whether human, other animal, or plant, to a frame of reference such as gravity or a collection device.

ActClassSubstanceAdministration

The act of introducing or otherwise applying a substance to the subject. Discussion: The effect of the substance is typically established on a biochemical basis, however, that is not a requirement. For example, radiotherapy can largely be described in the same way, especially if it is a systemic therapy such as radio-iodine. This class also includes the application of chemical treatments to an area. Examples: Chemotherapy protocol; Drug prescription; Vaccination record

ActClassSubstanceExtraction

No description

ActClassSubstitution

Definition: Indicates that the subject Act has undergone or should undergo substitution of a type indicated by Act.code. Rationale: Used to specify “allowed” substitution when creating orders, “actual” susbstitution when sending events, as well as the reason for the substitution and who was responsible for it.

ActClassSupine

Deprecation Comment: This value set has been deprecated because its root code was deprecated in an earlier vocabulary release.

ActClassSupply

Supply orders and deliveries are simple Acts that focus on the delivered product. The product is associated with the Supply Act via Participation.typeCode=”product”. With general Supply Acts, the precise identification of the Material (manufacturer, serial numbers, etc.) is important. Most of the detailed information about the Supply should be represented using the Material class. If delivery needs to be scheduled, tracked, and billed separately, one can associate a Transportation Act with the Supply Act. Pharmacy dispense services are represented as Supply Acts, associated with a SubstanceAdministration Act. The SubstanceAdministration class represents the administration of medication, while dispensing is supply.

ActClassTopic

A group of entries within a composition that are related to a common clinical theme - such as a specific disorder or problem, prevention, screening and provision of contraceptive services. A topic may contain categories and entries.

ActClassTransfer

Definition: The act of transferring information without the intent of imparting understanding about a topic to the subject that is the recipient or holder of the transferred information where the participation association must be RCV or HLD.

ActClassTransmissionExposure

Description: A transmission exposure act describes the proximity (time and location) over which the participating source entity was capable of transmitting a physical (including energy), chemical or biological substance agent to another entity. The transmission exposure act is used in conjunction with acquisition exposure acts as part of an analysis technique for contact tracing. Although an exposure can be decomposed into transmission and acquisition exposures, there is no requirement that all exposures be treated in this fashion. Constraints: The Transmission Exposure inherits the participation constraints that apply to Exposure with the following exception. The EXPTRGT (exposure target) participation must never be associated with the Transmission Exposure either directly or via context conduction.

ActClassTransportation

Transportation is the moving of a payload (people or material) from a location of origin to a destination location. Thus, any transport service has the three target instances of type payload, origin, and destination, besides the targets that are generally used for any service (i.e., performer, device, etc.)

ActClassTrendelenburg

Deprecation Comment: This value set has been deprecated because its root code was deprecated in an earlier vocabulary release.

ActControlVariable

An observation form that determines parameters or attributes of an Act. Examples are the settings of a ventilator machine as parameters of a ventilator treatment act; the controls on dillution factors of a chemical analyzer as a parameter of a laboratory observation act; the settings of a physiologic measurement assembly (e.g., time skew) or the position of the body while measuring blood pressure. Control variables are forms of observations because just as with clinical observations, the Observation.code determines the parameter and the Observation.value assigns the value. While control variables sometimes can be observed (by noting the control settings or an actually measured feedback loop) they are not primary observations, in the sense that a control variable without a primary act is of no use (e.g., it makes no sense to record a blood pressure position without recording a blood pressure, whereas it does make sense to record a systolic blood pressure without a diastolic blood pressure).

A health insurance policy is a written contract for insurance between the insurance company and the policyholder, and contains pertinent facts about the policy owner (the policy holder), the health insurance coverage, the insured subscribers and dependents, and the insurer. Health insurance is typically administered in accordance with a plan, which specifies (1) the type of health services and health conditions that will be covered under what circumstances (e.g., exclusion of a pre-existing condition, service must be deemed medically necessary; service must not be experimental; service must provided in accordance with a protocol; drug must be on a formulary; service must be prior authorized; or be a referral from a primary care provider); (2) the type and affiliation of providers (e.g., only allopathic physicians, only in network, only providers employed by an HMO); (3) financial participations required of covered parties (e.g., co-pays, coinsurance, deductibles, out-of-pocket); and (4) the manner in which services will be paid (e.g., under indemnity or fee-for-service health plans, the covered party typically pays out-of-pocket and then file a claim for reimbursement, while health plans that have contractual relationships with providers, i.e., network providers, typically do not allow the providers to bill the covered party for the cost of the service until after filing a claim with the payer and receiving reimbursement).

ActInsurancePolicyCode

Set of codes indicating the type of insurance policy or other source of funds to cover healthcare costs.

ActInsuranceTypeCode

Definition: Set of codes indicating the type of insurance policy. Insurance, in law and economics, is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of potential financial loss. Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a potential loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for a premium and duty of care. A policy holder is an individual or an organization enters into a contract with an underwriter which stipulates that, in exchange for payment of a sum of money (a premium), one or more covered parties (insureds) is guaranteed compensation for losses resulting from certain perils under specified conditions. The underwriter analyzes the risk of loss, makes a decision as to whether the risk is insurable, and prices the premium accordingly. A policy provides benefits that indemnify or cover the cost of a loss incurred by a covered party, and may include coverage for services required to remediate a loss. An insurance policy contains pertinent facts about the policy holder, the insurance coverage, the covered parties, and the insurer. A policy may include exemptions and provisions specifying the extent to which the indemnification clause cannot be enforced for intentional tortious conduct of a covered party, e.g., whether the covered parties are jointly or severably insured. Discussion: In contrast to programs, an insurance policy has one or more policy holders, who own the policy. The policy holder may be the covered party, a relative of the covered party, a partnership, or a corporation, e.g., an employer. A subscriber of a self-insured health insurance policy is a policy holder. A subscriber of an employer sponsored health insurance policy is holds a certificate of coverage, but is not a policy holder; the policy holder is the employer. See CoveredRoleType.

The moodCode of a single Act-instance never changes. Mood is not state. To describe the progression of a business activity from defined to planned to executed, etc. one must instantiate different Act-instances in the different moods and link them using ActRelationship of general type “sequel”. (See ActRelationship.type.)

ActMoodActRequest

No description

ActMoodAppointment

A planned Act for a specific time and place.

ActMoodAppointmentRequest

A request for the booking of an appointment.

ActMoodCompletionTrack

These are moods describing activities as they progress in the business cycle, from defined, through planned and ordered to completed.

ActMoodCriterion

A criterion or condition over actual and potential services that must apply for an associated service to be considered. Matches records any ActMoodCompletionTrack moods.

ActMoodDefinition

A definition of a service (master). Historical note: in previous RIM versions, the definition mood was captured as a separate class hierarchy, called Master_service.

ActMoodDesire

No description

ActMoodEventCriterion

A criterion or condition over service events that must apply for an associated service to be considered.

ActMoodEventOccurrence

A service that actually happens, may be an ongoing service or a documentation of a past service. Historical note: in previous RIM versions, the event mood was captured as a separate class hierarchy, called Patient_service_event, and later Service_event.

ActMoodExpectation

Definition:An act that is considered likely to occur in the future. The essential feature of an act expressed in expectation mood is that it is likely to occur. An expectation may be desirable, undesirable or neutral in effect. Examples:Prognosis of a condition, Expected date of discharge from hospital, patient will likely need an emergency decompression of the intracranial pressure by morning. Discussion:INT (intent) reflects a plan for the future, which is a declaration to do something. This contrasts with expectation, which is a prediction that something will happen in the future. GOL (goal) reflects a hope rather than a prediction. RSK (risk) reflects a potential negative event that may or may not be expected to happen.

ActMoodGoal

Definition:An observation that is considered to be desirable to occur in the future. The essential feature of a goal is that if it occurs it would be considered as a marker of a positive outcome or of progress towards a positive outcome. Examples:Target weight below 80Kg, Stop smoking, Regain ability to walk, goal is to administer thrombolytics to candidate patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction. Discussion: INT (intent) reflects a plan for the future, which is a declaration to do something. This contrasts with goal which doesn’t represent an intention to act, merely a hope for an eventual result. A goal is distinct from the intended actions to reach that goal. “I will reduce the dose of drug x to 20mg” is an intent. “I hope to be able to get the patient to the point where I can reduce the dose of drug x to 20mg” is a goal. EXPEC (expectation) reflects a prediction rather than a hope. RSK (risk) reflects a potential negative event rather than a hope.

ActMoodIntent

An intention or plan to perform a service. Historical note: in previous RIM versions, the intent mood was captured as a separate class hierarchy, called Service_intent_or_order.

ActMoodOption

An option is an alternative set of property-value bindings. Options specify alternative sets of values, typically used in definitions or orders to describe alternatives. An option can only be used as a group, that is, all assigned values must be used together. Historical note: in HL7 v2.x option existed in the special case for alternative medication routes (RXR segment).

ActMoodPermission

A kind of service which is authorized to be performed.

ActMoodPermissionRequest

A request for authorization to perform a kind of service. This is distinct from RQO which is a request for an actual act. PERMRQ is merely a request for permission to perform an act.Discussion:

ActMoodPotential

No description

ActMoodPredicate

Any of the above service moods (e.g., event, intent, or goal) can be turned into a predicate used as a criterion to express conditionals (or queries.) However, currently we allow only criteria on service events.

ActMoodPromise

An intent to perform a service that has the strength of a commitment, i.e., other parties may rely on the originator of such promise that said originator will see to it that the promised act will be fulfilled. A promise can be either solicited or unsolicited.

ActMoodProposal

A non-mandated intent to perform an act. Used to record intents that are explicitly not Orders. Professional responsibility for the ‘proposal’ may or may not be present.

ActMoodRecommendation

A non-mandated intent to perform an act where a level of professional responsibility is being accepted by making the proposal.

ActMoodRequest

A request or order for a service is an intent directed from a placer (request author) to a fulfiller (service performer). Rationale: The concepts of a “request” and an “order” are viewed as different, because there is an implication of a mandate associated with order. In practice, however, this distinction has no general functional value in the inter-operation of health care computing. “Orders” are commonly refused for a variety of clinical and business reasons, and the notion of a “request” obligates the recipient (the fulfiller) to respond to the sender (the author). Indeed, in many regions, including Australia and Europe, the common term used is “request.” Thus, the concept embodies both notions, as there is no useful distinction to be made. If a mandate is to be associated with a request, this will be embodied in the “local” business rules applied to the transactions. Should HL7 desire to provide a distinction between these in the future, the individual concepts could be added as specializations of this concept. The critical distinction here, is the difference between this concept and an “intent”, of which it is a specialization. An intent involves decisions by a single party, the author. A request, however, involves decisions by two parties, the author and the fulfiller, with an obligation on the part of the fulfiller to respond to the request indicating that the fulfiller will indeed fulfill the request.

ActMoodResourceSlot

Periods of time on a schedule for a resource. Appointments occupy sets of one or more booked slots. A slot that is open for appointments is considered available and a slot that is held back for administrative purposes is considered blocked. A Resource slot that is “tentatively” booked is referred to as reserved.

ActMoodRisk

Definition:An act that may occur in the future and which is regarded as undesirable. The essential feature of a risk is that if it occurs this would be regarded as a marker of a negative outcome or of deterioration towards a negative outcome. Recording a risk indicates that it is seen as more likely to occur in the subject than in a general member of the population but does not mean it is expected to occur. Examples:Increased risk of DVT, at risk for sub-acute bacterial endocarditis. Discussion:Note: An observation in RSK mood expresses the undesirable act, and not the underlying risk factor. A risk factor that is present (e.g. obesity, smoking, etc) should be expressed in event mood. INT (intent) reflects a plan for the future, which is a declaration to do something. This contrasts with RSK (risk), which is the potential that something negative will occur that may or may not ever happen. GOL (goal) reflects a hope to achieve something. EXPEC (expectation) is the prediction of a positive or negative event. This contrasts with RSK (risk), which is the potential that something negative will occur that may or may not ever happen, and may not be expected to happen.

ActPatientTransportationModeCode

Definition: Characterizes how a patient was or will be transported to the site of a patient encounter. Examples: Via ambulance, via public transit, on foot.

ActPaymentCode

Code identifying the method or the movement of payment instructions. Codes are drawn from X12 data element 591 (PaymentMethodCode)

ActPharmacySupplyType

Identifies types of dispensing events

ActPolicyType

Description:Types of policies that further specify the ActClassPolicy value set.

ActPriority

A code or set of codes (e.g., for routine, emergency,) specifying the urgency under which the Act happened, can happen, is happening, is intended to happen, or is requested/demanded to happen. Discussion: This attribute is used in orders to indicate the ordered priority, and in event documentation it indicates the actual priority used to perform the act. In definition mood it indicates the available priorities.

ActPriorityCallback

Filler should contact the placer (or target) to schedule the service. (Was “C” in HL7 version 2.3’s TQ-priority component.)

ActPrivacyLaw

ActPrivacyLaw codes may be associated with an Act or a Role to indicate the legal provision to which the assignment of an Act.confidentialityCode or Role.confidentialtyCode complies. May be used to further specify rationale for assignment of other ActPrivacyPolicy codes in the US realm, e.g., ETH and 42CFRPart2 can be differentiated from ETH and Title38Part1.

ActPrivacyPolicy

ActPrivacyPolicyType codes support the designation of the 1..* policies that are applicable to an Act such as a Consent Directive, a Role such as a VIP Patient, or an Entity such as a patient who is a minor. 1..* ActPrivacyPolicyType values may be associated with an Act or Role to indicate the policies that govern the assignment of an Act or Role confidentialityCode. Use of multiple ActPrivacyPolicyType values enables fine grain specification of applicable policies, but must be carefully assigned to ensure cogency and avoid creation of conflicting policy mandates. Statutory title may be named in the ActClassPolicy Act Act.title to specify which privacy policy is being referenced.

ActProductAcquisitionCode

The method that a product is obtained for use by the subject of the supply act (e.g. patient). Product examples are consumable or durable goods.

ActProgramTypeCode

Definition: A set of codes used to indicate coverage under a program. A program is an organized structure for administering and funding coverage of a benefit package for covered parties meeting eligibility criteria, typically related to employment, health, financial, and demographic status. Programs are typically established or permitted by legislation with provisions for ongoing government oversight. Regulations may mandate the structure of the program, the manner in which it is funded and administered, covered benefits, provider types, eligibility criteria and financial participation. A government agency may be charged with implementing the program in accordance to the regulation. Risk of loss under a program in most cases would not meet what an underwriter would consider an insurable risk, i.e., the risk is not random in nature, not financially measurable, and likely requires subsidization with government funds. Discussion: Programs do not have policy holders or subscribers. Program eligibles are enrolled based on health status, statutory eligibility, financial status, or age. Program eligibles who are covered parties under the program may be referred to as members, beneficiaries, eligibles, or recipients. Programs risk are underwritten by not for profit organizations such as governmental entities, and the beneficiaries typically do not pay for any or some portion of the cost of coverage. See CoveredPartyRoleType.

ActRelationshipAccounting

Codes that describe the relationship between an Act and a financial instrument such as a financial transaction, account or invoice element.

ActRelationshipActProvenance

Used to convey the relationship between two or more Acts for purpose of tracking provenance relationships such as the following:

  • A predecessor Act and a successor Act (e.g., a predecessor Lab Result from which a successor Lab Result in derived)
  • A ProvenanceEvent Act and a target Act for which it records the Provenance (e.g., a target Act is an update of a predecessor Act)
  • A predecessor ProvenanceEvent Act and a successor ProvenanceEvent Act UsageConstraint: The v:ActRelationshipActProvenance is intended to limit the types of relationships that could be conveyed by the ActRelationshipType codes to a subset that pertains to these provenance relations.

ActRelationshipArrival

The relationship that links to a Transportation Act (target) from another Act (source) indicating that the subject of the source Act entered into the source Act by means of the target Transportation act.

ActRelationshipAssignsName

Used to assign a “name” to a condition thread. Source is a condition node, target can be any service.

ActRelationshipAuthorizedBy

A relationship in which the target act authorizes or certifies the source act.

ActRelationshipBlocks

Definition: The source act is performed to block the effects of the target act. This act relationship should be used when describing near miss type incidents where potential harm could have occurred, but the action described in the source act blocked the potential harmful effects of the incident actually occurring.

ActRelationshipCheckpoint

A code specifying when in the course of an Act a precondition for the Act is evaluated (e.g., before the Act starts for the first time, before every repetition, after each repetition but not before the first, or throughout the entire time of the Act.) Discussion: This attribute is part of the workflow control suite of attributes. An action plan is a composite Act with component Acts. In a sequential plan, each component has a sequenceNumber that specifies the ordering of the plan steps. Before each step is executed and has preconditions these conditions are tested and if the test is positive, the Act has clearance for execution. The repeatNumber may indicate that an Act may be repeatedly executed. The checkpointCode is specifies when the precondition is checked and is analogous to the various conditional statements and loop constructs in programming languages “while-do” vs. “do-while” or “repeat-until” vs. “loop-exit”. For all checkpointCodes, except “end”, preconditions are being checked at the time when the preceding step of the plan has terminated and this step would be next in the sequence established by the sequenceNumber attribute. When the checkpointCode for a criterion of a repeatable Act is “end”, the criterion is tested only at the end of each repetition of that Act. When the condition holds true, the next repetition is ready for execution. When the checkpointCode is “entry” the criterion is checked at the beginning of each repetition (if any) whereas “beginning” means the criterion is checked only once before the repetition “loop” starts. The checkpointCode “through” is special in that it requires the condition to hold throughout the execution of the Act, even throughout a single execution. As soon as the condition turns false, the Act should receive an interrupt event (see interruptibleInd) and will eventually terminate. The checkpointCode “exit” is only used on a special plan step that represents a loop exit step. This allows an action plan to exit due to a condition tested inside the execution of this plan. Such exit criteria are sequenced with the other plan components using the ActRelationship.sequenceNumber.

ActRelationshipCheckpointBeginning

Condition is tested every time before execution of the service (WHILE condition DO service).

ActRelationshipCheckpointEnd

Condition is tested at the end of a repeated service execution. The service is repeated only if the condition is true (DO service WHILE condition).

ActRelationshipCheckpointEntry

Condition is tested once before the service is executed (IF condition THEN service).

ActRelationshipCheckpointExit

Condition is a loop checkpoint, i.e. it is a step of an activity plan and, if negative causes the containing loop to exit.

ActRelationshipCheckpointThrough

Condition must be true throughout the execution and the service is interrupted (asynchronously) as soon as the condition turns false (asynchronous WHILE loop). The service must be interruptible.

ActRelationshipHasBaseline

No description

ActRelationshipHasBoundedSupport

A specialization of “has support” (SPRT), used to relate a secondary observation to a Region of Interest on a multidimensional observation, if the ROI specifies the true boundaries of the secondary observation as opposed to only marking the approximate area. For example, if the start and end of an ST elevation episode is visible in an EKG, this relation would indicate the ROI bounds the “ST elevation” observation – the ROI defines the true beginning and ending of the episode. Conversely, if a ROI simply contains ST elevation, but it does not define the bounds (start and end) of the episode, the more general “has support” relation is used. Likewise, if a ROI on an image defines the true bounds of a “1st degree burn”, the relation “has bounded support” is used; but if the ROI only points to the approximate area of the burn, the general “has support” relation is used.

ActRelationshipHasCharge

A relationship that provides an ability to associate a financial transaction (target) as a charge to a clinical act (source). A clinical act may have a charge associated with the execution or delivery of the service. The financial transaction will define the charge (bill) for delivery or performance of the service. Charges and costs are distinct terms. A charge defines what is charged or billed to another organization or entity within an organization. The cost defines what it costs an organization to perform or deliver a service or product.

ActRelationshipHasComponent

A collection of sub-services as steps or subtasks performed for the source service. Services may be performed sequentially or concurrently.

ActRelationshipHasContinuingObjective

A desired state that a service action aims to maintain. E.g., keep systolic blood pressure between 90 and 110 mm Hg. Source is an intervention service. Target must be an observation in criterion mood.

ActRelationshipHasContra-indication

A contraindication is just a negation of a reason, i.e. it gives a condition under which the action is not to be done. Both, source and target can be any kind of service; target service is in criterion mood. How the strength of a contraindication is expressed (e.g., relative, absolute) is left as an open issue. The priorityNumber attribute could be used.

ActRelationshipHasControlVariable

A relationship from an Act to a Control Variable. For example, if a Device makes an Observation, this relates the Observation to its Control Variables documenting the device’s settings that influenced the observation.

ActRelationshipHasCost

A relationship that provides an ability to associate a financial transaction (target) as a cost to a clinical act (source). A clinical act may have an inherit cost associated with the execution or delivery of the service. The financial transaction will define the cost of delivery or performance of the service. Charges and costs are distinct terms. A charge defines what is charged or billed to another organization or entity within an organization. The cost defines what it costs an organization to perform or deliver a service or product.

ActRelationshipHasCredit

A credit relationship ties a financial transaction (target) to an account (source). A credit, once applied (posted), may have either a positive or negative effect on the account balance, depending on the type of account. An asset account credit will decrease the account balance. A non-asset account credit will decrease the account balance.

ActRelationshipHasDebit

A debit relationship ties a financial transaction (target) to an account (source). A debit, once applied (posted), may have either a positive or negative effect on the account balance, depending on the type of account. An asset account debit will increase the account balance. A non-asset account debit will decrease the account balance.

ActRelationshipHasExplanation

This is the inversion of support. Used to indicate that a given observation is explained by another observation or condition.

ActRelationshipHasFinalObjective

A desired outcome that a service action aims to meet finally. Source is any service (typically an intervention). Target must be an observation in criterion mood.

ActRelationshipHasGeneralization

The generalization relationship can be used to express categorical knowledge about services (e.g., amilorid, triamterene, and spironolactone have the common generalization potassium sparing diuretic).

ActRelationshipHasGoal

A goal that one defines given a patient’s health condition. Subsequently planned actions aim to meet that goal. Source is an observation or condition node, target must be an observation in goal mood.

ActRelationshipHasMember

No description

ActRelationshipHasMetadata

No description

ActRelationshipHasOption

A relationship between a source Act that provides more detailed properties to the target Act. The source act thus is a specialization of the target act, but instead of mentioning all the inherited properties it only mentions new property bindings or refinements. The typical use case is to specify certain alternative variants of one kind of Act. The priorityNumber attribute is used to weigh refinements as preferred over other alternative refinements. Example: several routing options for a drug are specified as one SubstanceAdministration for the general treatment with attached refinements for the various routing options.

ActRelationshipHasPart

No description

ActRelationshipHasPre-condition

A requirement to be true before a service is performed. The target can be any service in criterion mood. For multiple pre-conditions a conjunction attribute (AND, OR, XOR) is applicable.

ActRelationshipHasPreviousInstance

A relationship in which the target act is a predecessor instance to the source act. Generally each of these instances is similar, but no identical. In healthcare coverage it is used to link a claim item to a previous claim item that might have claimed for the same set of services.

ActRelationshipHasQualifier

No description

ActRelationshipHasReferenceValues

Reference ranges are essentially descriptors of a class of result values assumed to be “normal”, “abnormal”, or “critical.” Those can vary by sex, age, or any other criterion. Source and target are observations, the target is in criterion mood. This link type can act as a trigger in case of alarms being triggered by critical results.

ActRelationshipHasRisk

A noteworthy undesired outcome of a patient’s condition that is either likely enough to become an issue or is less likely but dangerous enough to be addressed.

ActRelationshipHasStep

No description

ActRelationshipHasSubject

Relates an Act to its subject Act that the first Act is primarily concerned with. Examples

  1. The first Act may be a ControlAct manipulating the subject Act
  2. The first act is a region of interest (ROI) that defines a region within the subject Act.
  3. The first act is a reporting or notification Act, that echos the subject Act for a specific new purpose. Constraints An Act may have multiple subject acts. Rationale The ActRelationshipType “has subject” is similar to the ParticipationType “subject”, Acts that primarily operate on physical subjects use the Participation, those Acts that primarily operate on other Acts (other information) use the ActRelationship.
ActRelationshipHasSupport

Used to indicate that an existing service is suggesting evidence for a new observation. The assumption of support is attributed to the same actor who asserts the observation. Source must be an observation, target may be any service (e.g., to indicate a status post.)

ActRelationshipHasTrigger

A pre-condition that if true should result in the source Act being executed. The target is in typically in criterion mood. When reported after the fact (i.e. the criterion has been met) it may be in Event mood. A delay between the trigger and the triggered action can be specified. Discussion: This includes the concept of a required act for a service or financial instrument such as an insurance plan or policy. In such cases, the trigger is the occurrence of a specific condition such as coverage limits being exceeded.

ActRelationshipICSRInvestigation

Description: The ways that product safety Investigations, about which information is captured in an Individual Case Safety Report, are related to each other. One investigation may be performed at a patient care institution, and the second by a manufacturer, a third by a regulatory agency. They may all investigate the same case and are thus related. Other kinds of relationships are replacement (if the mode of the Investigation is changed).

ActRelationshipInstantiatesMaster

Used to capture the link between a potential service (“master” or plan) and an actual service, where the actual service instantiates the potential service. The instantiation may override the master’s defaults.

ActRelationshipInterferedBy

No description

ActRelationshipIsAppendage

An addendum (source) to an existing service object (target), containing supplemental information. The addendum is itself an original service object linked to the supplemented service object. The supplemented service object remains in place and its content and status are unaltered.

ActRelationshipIsDerivedFrom

Associates a derived Act with its input parameters. E.G., an anion-gap observation can be associated as being derived from given sodium-, (potassium-,), chloride-, and bicarbonate-observations. The narrative content (Act.text) of a source act is wholly machine-derived from the collection of target acts.

ActRelationshipIsEtiologyFor

An assertion that a new observation was assumed to be the cause for another existing observation. The assumption is attributed to the same actor who asserts the observation. This is stronger and more specific than the support link. For example, a growth of Staphylococcus aureus may be considered the cause of an abscess. The source (cause) is typically an observation, but may be any service, while the target must be an observation.

ActRelationshipIsManifestationOf

An assertion that a new observation may be the manifestation of another existing observation or action. This assumption is attributed to the same actor who asserts the manifestation. This is stronger and more specific than an inverted support link. For example, an agitated appearance can be asserted to be the manifestation (effect) of a known hyperthyroxia. This expresses that one might not have realized a symptom if it would not be a common manifestation of a known condition. The target (cause) may be any service, while the source (manifestation) must be an observation.

ActRelationshipItemsLocated

Items located

ActRelationshipJoin

A code specifying how concurrent Acts are resynchronized in a parallel branch construct. Discussion: This attribute is part of the workflow control suite of attributes. An action plan is a composite Act with component Acts. In a sequential plan, each component has a sequenceNumber that specifies the ordering of the plan steps. Branches exist when multiple components have the same sequenceNumber. Branches are parallel if the splitCode specifies that more than one branch can be executed at the same time. The joinCode then specifies if and how the braches are resynchronized. The principal re-synchronization actions are (1) the control flow waits for a branch to terminate (wait-branch), (2) the branch that is not yet terminated is aborted (kill-branch), (3) the branch is not re-synchronized at all and continues in parallel (detached branch). A kill branch is only executed if there is at least one active wait (or exclusive wait) branch. If there is no other wait branch active, a kill branch is not started at all (rather than being aborted shortly after it is started.) Since a detached branch is unrelated to all other branches, active detached branches do not protect a kill-branch from being aborted.

ActRelationshipJoinDetached

Detach this branch from the other branches so it will not be resynchronized with the other branches.

ActRelationshipJoinExclusiveWait

Wait for any one of the branches in the set of exclusive wait branches to terminate, then discontinue all the other exclusive wait branches.

ActRelationshipJoinKill

When all other concurrent branches are terminated, interrupt and discontinue this branch.

ActRelationshipJoinWait

Wait for this branch to terminate.

ActRelationshipLimitedBy

A relationship that limits or restricts the source act by the elements of the target act. For example, an authorization may be limited by a financial amount (up to $500). Target Act must be in EVN.CRIT mood.

ActRelationshipMaintenanceTreatment

No description

ActRelationshipMatchesTrigger

A trigger-match links an actual service (e.g., an observation or procedure that took place) with a service in criterion mood. For example if the trigger is “observation of pain” and pain is actually observed, and if that pain-observation caused the trigger to fire, that pain-observation can be linked with the trigger.

ActRelationshipMitigates

The source act removes or lessens the occurrence or effect of the target act.

ActRelationshipModifies

Definition: Used to link a newer version or ‘snapshot’ of a business object (source) to an older version or ‘snapshot’ of the same business object (target). Usage:The identifier of the Act should be the same for both source and target. If the identifiers are distinct, RPLC should be used instead. Name from source to target = “modifiesPrior” Name from target to source = “modifiesByNew”

ActRelationshipObjective

The target act is a desired outcome of the source act. Source is any act (typically an intervention). Target must be an observation in criterion mood.

ActRelationshipOccurrence

The source act is a single occurrence of a repeatable target act. The source and target act can be in any mood on the “completion track” but the source act must be as far as or further along the track than the target act (i.e., the occurrence of an intent can be an event but not vice versa).

ActRelationshipOutcome

An observation that should follow or does actually follow as a result or consequence of a condition or action (sometimes called “post-condition”.) Target must be an observation as a goal, risk or any criterion. For complex outcomes a conjunction attribute

ActRelationshipProphylaxisOf

No description

ActRelationshipProvidesEvidenceFor

Indicates that the target Act provides evidence in support of the action represented by the source Act. The target is not a ‘reason’ for the source act, but rather gives supporting information on why the source act is an appropriate course of action. Possible targets might be clinical trial results, journal articles, similar successful therapies, etc. Rationale: Provides a mechanism for conveying clinical justification for non-approved or otherwise non-traditional therapies.

ActRelationshipRe-challenge

Description:A relationship in which the target act is carried out to determine whether an effect attributed to the source act can be recreated.

ActRelationshipReason

The reason or rationale for a service. A reason link is weaker than a trigger, it only suggests that some service may be or might have been a reason for some action, but not that this reason requires/required the action to be taken. Also, as opposed to the trigger, there is no strong timely relation between the reason and the action. Discussion: In prior releases, the code “SUGG” (suggests) was expressed as “an inversion of the reason link.” That code has been retired in favor of the inversion indicator that is an attribute of ActRelationship.

ActRelationshipRecovery

Definition: The source act is performed to recover from the effects of the target act.

ActRelationshipReferencesOrder

Relates either an appointment request or an appointment to the order for the service being scheduled.

ActRelationshipRefersTo

A relationship in which the target act is referred to by the source act. This permits a simple reference relationship that distinguishes between the referent and the referee.

ActRelationshipRelievedBy

No description

ActRelationshipReplaces

A replacement source act replaces an existing target act. The state of the target act being replaced becomes obselete, but the act is typically still retained in the system for historical reference. The source and target must be of the same type.

ActRelationshipReverses

A relationship between a source Act that seeks to reverse or undo the action of the prior target Act. Example: A posted financial transaction (e.g., a debit transaction) was applied in error and must be reversed (e.g., by a credit transaction) the credit transaction is identified as an undo (or reversal) of the prior target transaction. Constraints: the “completion track” mood of the target Act must be equally or more “actual” than the source act. I.e., when the target act is EVN the source act can be EVN, or any INT. If the target act is INT, the source act can be INT.

ActRelationshipSchedulesRequest

Associates a specific time (and associated resources) with a scheduling request or other intent.

ActRelationshipSequel

An act relationship indicating that the source act follows the target act. The source act should in principle represent the same kind of act as the target. Source and target need not have the same mood code (mood will often differ). The target of a sequel is called antecedent. Examples for sequel relationships are: revision, transformation, derivation from a prototype (as a specialization is a derivation of a generalization), followup, realization, instantiation.

ActRelationshipSplit

A code specifying how branches in an action plan are selected among other branches. Discussion: This attribute is part of the workflow control suite of attributes. An action plan is a composite Act with component Acts. In a sequential plan, each component has a sequenceNumber that specifies the ordering of the plan steps. Branches exist when multiple components have the same sequenceNumber. The splitCode specifies whether a branch is executed exclusively (case-switch) or inclusively, i.e., in parallel with other branches. In addition to exlusive and inclusive split the splitCode specifies how the pre-condition (also known as “guard conditions” on the branch) are evaluated. A guard condition may be evaluated once when the branching step is entered and if the conditions do not hold at that time, the branch is abandoned. Conversely execution of a branch may wait until the guard condition turns true. In exclusive wait branches, the first branch whose guard conditions turn true will be executed and all other branches abandoned. In inclusive wait branches some branches may already be executed while other branches still wait for their guard conditions to turn true.

ActRelationshipSplitExclusiveTryOnce

The pre-condition associated with the branch is evaluated once and if true the branch may be entered. All other exclusive branches compete with each other and only one will be selected. This implements a COND, IF and CASE conditionals, or “XOR-split.” The order in which the branches are considered may be specified in the priorityNumber attribute.

ActRelationshipSplitExclusiveWait

A branch is selected as soon as the pre-condition associated with the branch evaluates to true. If the condition is false, the branch may be entered later, when the condition turns true. All other exclusive branches compete with each other and only one will be selected. Each waiting branch executes in parallel with the default join code wait (see below). The order in which the branches are considered may be specified in the Service_relationship.priority_nmb.

ActRelationshipSplitInclusiveTryOnce

A branch is executed if its associated preconditions permit. If associated preconditions do not permit, the branch is dropped. Inclusive branches are not suppressed and do not suppress other branches.

ActRelationshipSplitInclusiveWait

A branch is executed as soon as its associated conditions permit. If the condition is false, the branch may be entered later, when the condition turns true. Inclusive branches are not suppressed and do not suppress other branches. Each waiting branch executes in parallel with the default join code wait (see below).

Discussion: The types of act relationships fall under one of 5 categories: 1.) (De)-composition, with composite (source) and component (target) 2.) Sequel which includes follow-up, fulfillment, instantiation, replacement, transformation, etc. that all have in common that source and target are Acts of essentially the same kind but with variances in mood and other attributes, and where the target exists before the source and the source refers to the target that it links back to. 3.) Pre-condition, trigger, reason, contraindication, with the conditioned Act at the source and the condition or reason at the target. 4.) Post-condition, outcome, goal and risk, with the Act at the source having the outcome or goal at the target. 5.) A host of functional relationships including support, cause, derivation, etc. generalized under the notion of “pertinence”.

ActUncertainty

A code indicating whether the Act statement as a whole, with its subordinate components has been asserted to be uncertain in any way. Examples: Patient might have had a cholecystectomy procedure in the past (but isn’t sure). Constraints: Uncertainty asserted using this attribute applies to the combined meaning of the Act statement established by all descriptive attributes (e.g., Act.code, Act.effectiveTime, Observation.value, SubstanceAdministration.doseQuantity, etc.), and the meanings of any components. Discussion:This is not intended for use to replace or compete with uncertainty associated with a Observation.values alone or other individual attributes of the class. Such pointed indications of uncertainty should be specified by applying the PPD, UVP or UVN data type extensions to the specific attribute. Particularly if the uncertainty is uncertainty of a quantitative measurement value, this must still be represented by a PPD<PQ> in the value and NOT using the uncertaintyCode. Also, when differential diagnoses are enumerated or weighed for probability, the UVP<CD> or UVN<CD> must be used, not the uncertaintyCode. The use of the uncertaintyCode is appropriate only if the entirety of the Act and its dependent Acts is questioned. Note that very vague uncertainty may be thought related to negationInd, however, the two concepts are really independent. One may be very uncertain about an event, but that does not mean that one is certain about the negation of the event.

CodingRationale

Identifies how to interpret the instance of the code, codeSystem value in a set of translations. Since HL7 (or a government body) may mandate that codes from certain code systems be sent in conformant messages, other synonyms that are sent in the translation set need to be distinguished among the originally captured source, the HL7 specified code, or some future role. When this code is NULL, it indicates that the translation is an undefined type. When valued, this property must contain one of the following values: SRC - Source (or original) code HL7 - HL7 Specified or Mandated SH - both HL7 mandated and the original code (precoordination) There may be additional values added to this value set as we work through the use of codes in messages and determine other Use Cases requiring special interpretation of the translations.

ContextControl

A code that specifies how an ActRelationship or Participation contributes to the context of an Act, and whether it may be propagated to descendent Acts whose association allows such propagation (see also attributes Participation.contextControlCode, ActRelationship.contextControlCode, ActRelationship.contextConductionInd).

ContextControlAdditive

The association adds to the existing context associated with the Act. Both this association and any associations propagated from ancestor Acts are interpreted as being related to this Act.

ContextControlAdditiveNon-propagating

The association adds to the existing context associated with the Act, but will not propagate to any descendant Acts reached by conducting ActRelationships (see contextControlCode). Examples: If an ‘Author’ Participation were marked as “Additive, Non-Propagating” it means that the author will be added to the set of author participations that have propagated from ancestor Acts for the purpose of this Act. However only the previously propagated authors will propagate to any child Acts that allow context to be propagated.

ContextControlAdditivePropagating

The association adds to the existing context associated with the Act, and will propagate to any descendant Acts reached by conducting ActRelationships (see contextControlCode). Examples: If an ‘Author’ Participation were marked as “Additive, Propagating” it means that the author will be added to the set of author participations that have propagated from ancestor Acts, and will itself propagate with the other authors to any child Acts that allow context to be propagated.

ContextControlNonPropagating

The association applies only to the current Act and will not propagate to any child Acts that are related via a conducting ActRelationship (refer to contextConductionInd).

ContextControlOverriding

The association adds to the existing context associated with the Act, but replaces associations propagated from ancestor Acts whose typeCodes are the same.

ContextControlOverridingNon-propagating

The association is added to the existing context associated with the Act, but overrides an association with the same typeCode. However, this overriding association will not propagate to any descendant Acts reached by conducting ActRelationships (see contextControlCode). Examples: If an ‘Author’ Participation were marked as “Overriding, Non-Propagating” it means that the author will replace the set of author participations that have propagated from ancestor Acts. Furthermore, no author participations whatsoever will propagate to any child Acts that allow context to be propagated.

ContextControlOverridingPropagating

The association is added to the existing context associated with the Act, but overrides an association with the same typeCode. This overriding association will propagate to any descendant Acts reached by conducting ActRelationships (see contextControlCode). Examples: If an ‘Author’ Participation were marked as “Overriding, Propagating” it means that the author will replace the set of author participations that have propagated from ancestor Acts, and will itself be the only author to propagate to any child Acts that allow context to be propagated.

Description:Codes that indicate a specific type of sponsor. Used when the sponsor’s role is only either as a fully insured sponsor or only as a self-insured sponsor. NOTE: Where a sponsor may be either, use the SponsorParticipationFunction.code (fully insured or self insured) to indicate the type of responsibility. (CO6-0057)

CoveredPartyRoleType

A role recognized through the eligibility of an identified living subject for benefits covered under an insurance policy or a program. Eligibility as a covered party may be conditioned on a relationship with (1) the policy holder such as the policy holder who is covered as an individual under a poliy or as a party sponsored for coverage by the policy holder. Example:An employee as a subscriber; or (2) on being scoped another covered party such as the subscriber, as in the case of a dependent. Discussion: The Abstract Value Set “CoverageRoleType”, which was developed for use in the Canadian realm “pre-coordinate” coverage roles with other roles that a covered party must play in order to be eligible for coverage, e.g., “handicapped dependent”. Other codes in the Abstract Value Set CoveredPartyRoleType domain can be “post-coordinated” with the EligiblePartyRoleType codes to denote comparable concepts. Decoupling the concepts is intended to support a wider range of concepts and semantic comparability of coded concepts.

CreamDrugForm

A semisolid dosage form containing one or more drug substances dissolved or dispersed in a suitable base; more recently, the term has been restricted to products consisting of oil-in-water emulsions or aqueous microcrystalline dispersions of long chain fatty acids or alcohols that are water washable and more cosmetically and aesthetically acceptable.

EntityCode

A value representing the specific kind of Entity the instance represents. Examples: A medical building, a Doberman Pinscher, a blood collection tube, a tissue biopsy. Rationale: For each Entity, the value for this attribute is drawn from one of several coding systems depending on the Entity classCode, such as living subjects (animal and plant taxonomies), chemical substance (e.g., IUPAC code), organizations, insurance company, government agency, hospital, park, lake, syringe, etc. It is possible that Entity.code may be so fine grained that it represents a single instance. An example is the CDC vaccine manufacturer code, modeled as a concept vocabulary, when in fact each concept refers to a single instance.

Ethnicity

In the United States, federal standards for classifying data on ethnicity determine the categories used by federal agencies and exert a strong influence on categorization by state and local agencies and private sector organizations. The federal standards do not conceptually define ethnicity, and they recognize the absence of an anthropological or scientific basis for ethnicity classification. Instead, the federal standards acknowledge that ethnicity is a social-political construct in which an individual’s own identification with a particular ethnicity is preferred to observer identification. The standards specify two minimum ethnicity categories: Hispanic or Latino, and Not Hispanic or Latino. The standards define a Hispanic or Latino as a person of “Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, South or Central America, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race.” The standards stipulate that ethnicity data need not be limited to the two minimum categories, but any expansion must be collapsible to those categories. In addition, the standards stipulate that an individual can be Hispanic or Latino or can be Not Hispanic or Latino, but cannot be both.

InformationSensitivityPolicy

Value Set of codes that specify the reason for the restricted access. Sensitivity codes are not useful for interoperability outside of a policy domain because sensitivity policies are typically localized and vary drastically across policy domains even for the same information category because of differing organizational business rules, security policies, and jurisdictional requirements. For example, an “employee” sensitivity code would make little sense for use outside of a policy domain. “Taboo” would rarely be useful outside of a policy domain unless there are jurisdictional requirements requiring that a provider disclose sensitive information to a patient directly. Sensitivity codes may be more appropriate in a legacy system’s Master Files in order to notify those who access a patient’s orders and observations about the sensitivity policies that apply. Newer systems may have a security engine that uses a sensitivity policy’s criteria directly. The specializable Sensitivity Act.code may be useful in some scenarious if used in combination with a sensitivity identifier and/or Act.titleValue Set of codes that specify the reason for the restricted access. Note that this resource was created in THO in error due to an oversight in the import processing.

LifeInsurancePolicy

Definition: A policy under which the insurer agrees to pay a sum of money upon the occurrence of the covered partys death. In return, the policyholder agrees to pay a stipulated amount called a premium at regular intervals. Life insurance indemnifies the beneficiary for the loss of the insurable interest that a beneficiary has in the life of a covered party. For persons related by blood, a substantial interest established through love and affection, and for all other persons, a lawful and substantial economic interest in having the life of the insured continue. An insurable interest is required when purchasing life insurance on another person. Specific exclusions are often written into the contract to limit the liability of the insurer; for example claims resulting from suicide or relating to war, riot and civil commotion. Discussion:A life insurance policy may be used by the covered party as a source of health care coverage in the case of a viatical settlement, which is the sale of a life insurance policy by the policy owner, before the policy matures. Such a sale, at a price discounted from the face amount of the policy but usually in excess of the premiums paid or current cash surrender value, provides the seller an immediate cash settlement. Generally, viatical settlements involve insured individuals with a life expectancy of less than two years. In countries without state-subsidized healthcare and high healthcare costs (e.g. United States), this is a practical way to pay extremely high health insurance premiums that severely ill people face. Some people are also familiar with life settlements, which are similar transactions but involve insureds with longer life expectancies (two to fifteen years).

ManagedCarePolicy

Definition: Government mandated program providing coverage, disability income, and vocational rehabilitation for injuries sustained in the work place or in the course of employment. Employers may either self-fund the program, purchase commercial coverage, or pay a premium to a government entity that administers the program. Employees may be required to pay premiums toward the cost of coverage as well. Managed care policies specifically exclude coverage for losses insured under a disability policy, workers’ compensation program, liability insurance (including automobile insurance); or for medical expenses, coverage for on-site medical clinics or for limited dental or vision benefits when these are provided under a separate policy. Discussion: Managed care policies are offered by managed care plans that contract with selected providers or health care organizations to provide comprehensive health care at a discount to covered parties and coordinate the financing and delivery of health care. Managed care uses medical protocols and procedures agreed on by the medical profession to be cost effective, also known as medical practice guidelines. Providers are typically reimbursed for covered services by a capitated amount on a per member per month basis that may reflect difference in the health status and level of services anticipated to be needed by the member.

NUCCProviderCodes

In the absence of an all-encompassing Provider Classification System, both X12N and the National Provider System Workgroup from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) commenced work on identifying and coding an external provider table that would be able to codify provider type and provider area of specialization for all medical related providers. CMS’ intent was to provide a single coding structure to support work on the National Provider System, while X12N needed a single common table for trading partner use. The two projects worked independently to some extent until April 1996 when the lists were coordinated and a single taxonomy was proposed. A sub-group of the X12N TG2 WG 15 was charged with resolving differences in the two proposed taxonomies. Their work resulted in a single taxonomy that both CMS and members of X12N found meaningful, easy to use, and functional for electronic transactions. The sub-group initially started with the CMS draft taxonomy. This list incorporated all types of providers associated with medical care in various ways. Many of the providers listed, such as technologists or technicians, support or repair equipment/machinery. A number of the providers offer medical services, in concert with others, and do not or cannot bill independently for their portion. The amount of research to validate and classify all providers using the proposed hierarchical structure was enormous. The X12N sub-group focused on medical providers who are licensed practitioners, those who bill for health-related services rendered, and those who appeared on the Medicare CMS Provider Specialty listing. This included providers who were licensed to practice medicine via state licensure agencies. In addition, a very broad definition of “areas of specialization” was used, which included nationally recognized specialties, provider self-designated specialties, areas of practice focus, and any request by any agency or trading partner submitted before the first taxonomy release. This level of detail captured specialty information in categories detailed enough to support those trading credentialing information, yet broad enough to support those wishing to trade directory level specialization information. In 2001, ANSI ASC X12N asked the NUCC to become the official maintainer of the Health Care Provider Taxonomy List. The NUCC has a formal operating protocol and its membership includes representation from key provider and payer organizations, as well as state and federal agencies, standard development organizations and the National Uniform Billing Committee (NUBC). Criteria for membership includes a national scope and representation of a unique constituency affected by health care electronic commerce, with an emphasis on maintaining a provider/payer balance.

Definition: A party that originates the Act and therefore has responsibility for the information given in the Act and ownership of this Act. Example: the report writer, the person writing the act definition, the guideline author, the placer of an order, the EKG cart (device) creating a report etc. Every Act should have an author. Authorship is regardless of mood always actual authorship. Examples of such policies might include:

  • The author and anyone they explicitly delegate may update the report;
  • All administrators within the same clinic may cancel and reschedule appointments created by other administrators within that clinic; A party that is neither an author nor a party who is extended authorship maintenance rights by policy, may only amend, reverse, override, replace, or follow up in other ways on this Act, whereby the Act remains intact and is linked to another Act authored by that other party.
ParticipationBaby

In an obstetric service, the baby.

ParticipationBeneficiary

Target on behalf of whom the service happens, but that is not necessarily present in the service. Can occur together with direct target to indicate that a target is both, as in the case where the patient is the indirect beneficiary of a service rendered to a family member, e.g. counseling or given home care instructions. This concept includes a participant, such as a covered party, who derives benefits from a service act covered by a coverage act. Note that the semantic role of the intended recipient who benefits from the happening denoted by the verb in the clause. Thus, a patient who has no coverage under a policy or program may be a beneficiary of a health service while not being the beneficiary of coverage for that service.

ParticipationCallbackContact

ParticipationDonor

In some organ transplantation services and rarely in transfusion services a donor will be a target participant in the service.

The identity of the donor (recipient) is often irrelevant for the explantation (implantation) service.

ParticipationEntryLocation

A location where data about an Act was entered.

ParticipationEscort

Only with Transportation services. A person who escorts the patient.

ParticipationExposureagent

Description: The entity playing the associated role is the physical (including energy), chemical or biological substance that is participating in the exposure. For example in communicable diseases, the associated playing entity is the disease causing pathogen.

ParticipationExposureparticipation

Description:Direct participation in an exposure act where it is unknown that the participant is the source or subject of the exposure.

Such information includes information leading to the decision to perform the Act and how to perform the Act (e.g., consultant), information that the Act itself seeks to reveal (e.g., informant of clinical history), or information about what Act was performed (e.g., informant witness).

ParticipationInformationRecipient

A party, who may or should receive or who has recieved the Act or subsequent or derivative information of that Act. Information recipient is inert, i.e., independent of mood.” Rationale: this is a generalization of a too diverse family that the definition can’t be any more specific, and the concept is abstract so one of the specializations should be used.

ParticipationParticipation

Indicates that the target of the participation is involved in some manner in the act, but does not qualify how.

It should not be used lightly, and should never be used as a “placeholder” when a more appropriate specific type does not yet exist.

ParticipationPhysicalPerformer

A person who actually and principally carries out the action. Need not be the principal responsible actor, e.g. a surgery resident operating under supervision of attending surgeon, and may be the patient in self-care, e.g. fingerstick blood sugar. The traditional order filler is a performer. This information should accompany every service event.

ParticipationPrimaryInformationRecipient

Information recipient to whom an act statement is primarily directed. E.g., a primary care provider receiving a discharge letter from a hospitalist, a health department receiving information on a suspected case of infectious disease. Multiple of these participations may exist on the same act without requiring that recipients be ranked as primary vs. secondary.

ParticipationPrimaryPerformer

The principal or primary performer of the act.

ParticipationProduct

A material target that is brought forth (produced) in the service (e.g., specimen in a specimen collection, access or drainage in a placement service, medication package in a dispense service). It doesn’t matter whether the material produced had existence prior to the service, or whether it is created in the service (e.g., in supply services the product is taken from a stock).

ParticipationRemote

Some services take place at multiple concurrent locations (e.g., telemedicine, telephone consultation). The location where the principal performing actor is located is taken as the primary location (LOC) while the other location(s) are considered “remote.”

ParticipationResponsibleParty

The person or organization that has primary responsibility for the act. The responsible party is not necessarily present in an action, but is accountable for the action through the power to delegate, and the duty to review actions with the performing actor after the fact. This responsibility may be ethical, legal, contractual, fiscal, or fiduciary in nature. Example: A person who is the head of a biochemical laboratory; a sponsor for a policy or government program.

ParticipationReusableDevice

A device that does not change ownership due to the service, i.e., a surgical instrument or tool or an endoscope. The distinction between reuseable and non-reuseable must be made in order to know whether material must be re-stocked.

ParticipationSecondaryPerformer

A person assisting in an act through his substantial presence and involvement This includes: assistants, technicians, associates, or whatever the job titles may be.

ParticipationSignature

A code specifying whether and how the participant has attested his participation through a signature and or whether such a signature is needed.

ParticipationTargetDirect

Target that is substantially present in the service and which is directly affected by the service action (includes consumed material, devices, etc.).

ParticipationTargetLocation

The facility where the service is done. May be a static building (or room therein) or a moving location (e.g., ambulance, helicopter, aircraft, train, truck, ship, etc.)

ParticipationTargetSubject

The principle target that the service acts on. E.g. the patient in physical examination, a specimen in a lab observation. May also be a patient’s family member (teaching) or a device or room (cleaning, disinfecting, housekeeping). Note: not all direct targets are subjects, consumables, and devices used as tools for a service are not subjects. However, a device may be a subject of a maintenance service.

ParticipationTracker

PolicyOrProgramCoverageRoleType

Description: A role recognized through the eligibility of an identified party for benefits covered under an insurance policy or a program based on meeting eligibility criteria. Eligibility as a covered party may be conditioned on the party meeting criteria to qualify for coverage under a policy or program, which may be mandated by law. These criteria may be:

  1. The sole basis for coverage, e.g., being differently abled may qualify a person for disability coverage
  2. May more fully qualify a covered party role e.g, being differently abled may qualify an adult child as a dependent
  3. May impact the level of coverage for a covered party under a policy or program, e.g., being differently abled may qualify a program eligible for additional benefits. Discussion: The Abstract Value Set “CoverageRoleType”, which was developed for use in the Canadian realm “pre-coordinate” coverage roles with other roles that a covered party must play in order to be eligible for coverage, e.g., “handicapped dependent”. These role.codes may only be used with COVPTY to avoid overlapping concepts that would result from using them to specify the specializations of COVPTY, e.g., the role.class DEPEN should not be used with the role.code family dependent because that relationship has overlapping concepts due to the role.code precoodination and is conveyed in FICO with the personal relationship role that has a PART role link to the covered party role. For the same reasons, the role.class DEPEN should not be used with the role.code HANDIC (handicapped dependent); the role.code DIFFABLE (differently abled) should be used instead. In summary, the coded concepts in the Abstract Value Set “CoveredPartyRoleType” can be “post-coordinated” with the “RoleClassCoveredParty” Abstract Value Set. Decoupling these concepts is intended to support an expansive range of covered party concepts and their semantic comparability.

Race

In the United States, federal standards for classifying data on race determine the categories used by federal agencies and exert a strong influence on categorization by state and local agencies and private sector organizations. The federal standards do not conceptually define race, and they recognize the absence of an anthropological or scientific basis for racial classification. Instead, the federal standards acknowledge that race is a social-political construct in which an individual’s own identification with one more race categories is preferred to observer identification. The standards use a variety of features to define five minimum race categories. Among these features are descent from “the original peoples” of a specified region or nation. The minimum race categories are American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and White. The federal standards stipulate that race data need not be limited to the five minimum categories, but any expansion must be collapsible to those categories.

Roles names are derived from the name of the playing entity in that role. The role hierarchy stems from three core concepts, or abstract domains:

  • RoleClassOntological is an abstract domain that collects roles in which the playing entity is defined or specified by the scoping entity.
  • RoleClassPartitive collects roles in which the playing entity is in some sense a “part” of the scoping entity.
  • RoleClassAssociative collects all of the remaining forms of association between the playing entity and the scoping entity. This set of roles is further partitioned between:
    • RoleClassPassive which are roles in which the playing entity is used, known, treated, handled, built, or destroyed, etc. under the auspices of the scoping entity. The playing entity is passive in these roles in that the role exists without an agreement from the playing entity.
    • RoleClassMutualRelationship which are relationships based on mutual behavior of the two entities. The basis of these relationship may be formal agreements or they may be de facto behavior. Thus, this sub-domain is further divided into:
      • RoleClassRelationshipFormal in which the relationship is formally defined, frequently by a contract or agreement.
      • Personal relationship which inks two people in a personal relationship. The hierarchy discussed above is represented In the current vocabulary tables as a set of abstract domains, with the exception of the “Personal relationship” which is a leaf concept.
RoleClassAccess

A role in which the playing entity (material) provides access to another entity. The principal use case is intravenous (or other bodily) access lines that preexist and need to be referred to for medication routing instructions.

RoleClassActiveIngredient

A therapeutically active ingredient (player) in a mixture (scoper), where the mixture is typically a manufactured pharmaceutical.

RoleClassActiveMoiety

The molecule or ion that is responsible for the intended pharmacological action of the drug substance, excluding those appended or associated parts of the molecule that make the molecule an ester, salt (including a salt with hydrogen or coordination bonds), or other noncovalent derivative (such as a complex, chelate, or clathrate). Examples: heparin-sodium and heparin-potassium have the same active moiety, heparin; the active moiety of morphine-hydrochloride is morphine.

RoleClassAdditive

An ingredient (player) that is added to a base (scoper), that amounts to a minor part of the overall mixture.

RoleClassAdjacency

No description

RoleClassAdjuvant

No description

RoleClassAdministerableMaterial

A material (player) that can be administered to an Entity (scoper).

RoleClassAffiliate

Player of the Affiliate role has a business/professional relationship with scoper. Player and scoper may be persons or organization. The Affiliate relationship does not imply membership in a group, nor does it exist for resource scheduling purposes. Example: A healthcare provider is affiliated with another provider as a business associate.

RoleClassAgent

An entity (player) that acts or is authorized to act on behalf of another entity (scoper).

RoleClassAliquot

A portion (player) of an original or source specimen (scoper) used for testing or transportation.

RoleClassAssignedEntity

An agent role in which the agent is an Entity acting in the employ of an organization. The focus is on functional role on behalf of the organization, unlike the Employee role where the focus is on the ‘Human Resources’ relationship between the employee and the organization.

RoleClassAssociative

A general association between two entities that is neither partitive nor ontological.

RoleClassBase

A base ingredient (player) is what comprises the major part of a mixture (scoper). E.g., Water in most i.v. solutions, or Vaseline in salves. Among all ingredients of a material, there should be only one base. A base substance can, in turn, be a mixture.

RoleClassBirthplace

Relates a place (playing Entity) as the location where a living subject (scoping Entity) was born.

RoleClassCaregiver

A person responsible for the primary care of a patient at home.

RoleClassCaseSubject

RoleClassChild

The player of the role is a child of the scoping entity, in a generic sense.

RoleClassCitizen

Citizen of apolitical entity

RoleClassClaimant

Description: A role played by a party making a claim for coverage under a policy or program. A claimant must be either a person or organization, or a group of persons or organizations. A claimant is not a named insured or a program eligible. Discussion: With respect to liability insurance such as property and casualty insurance, a claimant must file a claim requesting indemnification for a loss that the claimant considers covered under the policy of a named insured. The claims adjuster for the policy underwriter will review the claim to determine whether the loss meets the benefit coverage criteria under a policy, and base any indemnification or coverage payment on that review. If a third party is liable in whole or part for the loss, the underwriter may pursue third party liability recovery. A claimant may be involved in civil or criminal legal proceedings involving claims against a defendant party that is indemnified by an insurance policy or to protest the finding of a claims adjustor. With respect to life insurance, a beneficiary designated by a named insured becomes a claimant of the proceeds of coverage, as in the case of a life insurance policy. However, a claimant for coverage under life insurance is not necessarily a designated beneficiary. Note: A claimant is not a named insured. However, a named insured may make a claim under a policy, e.g., an insured driver may make a claim for an injury under his or her comprehensive automobile insurance policy. Similarly, a program eligible may make a claim under program, e.g., an unemployed worker may claim benefits under an unemployment insurance program, but parties playing these covered party role classes are not, for purposes of this vocabulary and in an effort to clearly distinguish role classes, considered claimants. In the case of a named insured making a claim, a role type code INSCLM (insured claimant) subtypes the class to indicate that either a named insured or an individual insured has filed a claim for a loss. In the case of a program eligible, a role type code INJWKR (injured worker) subtypes the class to indicate that the covered party in a workers compensation program is an injured worker, and as such, has filed a “claim” under the program for benefits. Likewise, a covered role type code UNEMP (unemployed worker) subtypes the program eligible class to indicate that the covered party in an unemployment insurance program has filed a claim for unemployment benefits. Example: A claimant under automobile policy that is not the named insured.

RoleClassClinicalResearchInvestigator

A role played by a provider, always a person, who has agency authority from a Clinical Research Sponsor to direct the conduct of a clinical research trial or study on behalf of the sponsor.

RoleClassClinicalResearchSponsor

A role played by an entity, usually an organization, that is the sponsor of a clinical research trial or study. The sponsor commissions the study, bears the expenses, is responsible for satisfying all legal requirements concerning subject safety and privacy, and is generally responsible for collection, storage and analysis of the data generated during the trial. No scoper is necessary, as a clinical research sponsor undertakes the role on its own authority and declaration. Clinical research sponsors are usually educational or other research organizations, government agencies or biopharmaceutical companies.

RoleClassColorAdditive

RoleClassContinuity

No description

RoleClassCoverageSponsor

A role played by an entity, usually an organization that is the sponsor of an insurance plan or a health program. A sponsor is the party that is ultimately accountable for the coverage by employment contract or by law. A sponsor can be an employer, union, government agency, or association. Fully insured sponsors establish the terms of the plan and contract with health insurance plans to assume the risk and to administer the plan. Self-insured sponsors delegate coverage administration, but not risk, to third-party administrators. Program sponsors designate services to be covered in accordance with statute. Program sponsors may administer the coverage themselves, delegate coverage administration, but not risk to third-party administrators, or contract with health insurance plans to assume the risk and administrator a program. Sponsors qualify individuals who may become

  1. a policy holder of the plan;
  2. where the sponsor is the policy holder, who may become a subscriber or a dependent to a policy under the plan; or
  3. where the sponsor is a government agency, who may become program eligibles under a program. The sponsor role may be further qualified by the SponsorRole.code. Entities playing the sponsor role may also play the role of a Coverage Administrator. Example: An employer, union, government agency, or association.
RoleClassCoveredParty

Description: A relationship between a party that receives benefit coverage under the terms of an insurance policy or program and the underwriter of the policy or program. The role is played by the party that receives benefit coverage under the terms of a particular insurance policy or program. The organization playing the underwriter of that policy or program is the scoping entity. A covered party receives coverage under a policy because of some contractual or other relationship with the policy holder. In most cases, the policy holder has discretion over which parties may be covered under a policy, unless the policy holder assigns or is required by a court to assign this right. A covered party receives coverage under a program by being determined eligible based on program eligibility criteria specified by the program sponsor. Discussion: This reason for coverage is specified by use of a role type code from either of the abstract value sets beneath the PolicyOrProgramCoverageRoleType abstract value set. The CoverageRoleType abstract value set can only be used when the role class is the concept code “covered party” (COVPTY) because this value set contains precoordinated coded concepts relating to coverage criteria that was developed for the Canadian realm. This is to avoid overlapping concepts, e.g., the DEPEN role.class cannot be used with the FAMDEP Role.code The CoveredPartyRoleType abstract value set may be used with any of the covered party role class codes to support post coordination of coverage criteria. Where coverage under a policy depends on the concurrence of a policy holder, a relationship link with type code of indirect authority should be included using the policy holder role as the source, and the covered party role as the target. Note: A particular policy may cover several parties, one of whom may be, but need not be, the policy holder. Thus the notion of covered party is a role that is distinct from that of the policy holder. Note: The entity playing the role of covered party is an organization, a non-person living subject or a group of persons, the role class codes Subscriber and Dependent may not be used.

RoleClassCredentialedEntity

A role played by an entity that receives credentials from the scoping entity.

RoleClassDedicatedServiceDeliveryLocation

A role of a place (player) that is intended to house the provision of services. Scoper is the Entity (typically Organization) that provides these services. This is not synonymous with “ownership.”

RoleClassDependent

Description: A role played by a person covered under a policy or program based on an association with a subscriber, which is recognized by the policy holder. Note: The party playing the role of a dependent is not a claimant in the sense conveyed by the RoleClassCoveredParty CLAIM (claimant). However, a dependent may make a claim under a policy, e.g., a dependent under a health insurance policy may become the claimant for coverage under that policy for wellness examines or if injured and there is no liable third party. In the case of a dependent making a claim, a role type code INSCLM (insured claimant) subtypes the class to indicate that the dependent has filed a claim for services covered under the health insurance policy. Example: The dependent has an association with the subscriber such as a financial dependency or personal relationship such as that of a spouse, or a natural or adopted child. The policy holder may be required by law to recognize certain associations or may have discretion about the associations. For example, a policy holder may dictate the criteria for the dependent status of adult children who are students, such as requiring full time enrollment, or may recognize domestic partners as dependents. Under certain circumstances, the dependent may be under the indirect authority of a responsible party acting as a surrogate for the subscriber, for example, if the subscriber is differently abled or deceased, a guardian ad Lidem or estate executor may be appointed to assume the subscriberaTMs legal standing in the relationship with the dependent.

RoleClassDistributedMaterial

A material (player) distributed by a distributor (scoper) who functions between a manufacturer and a buyer or retailer.

RoleClassEmergencyContact

An entity to be contacted in the event of an emergency.

RoleClassEmployee

RoleClassExposedEntity

A role played by an entity that has been exposed to a person or animal suffering a contagious disease, or with a location from which a toxin has been distributed. The player of the role is normally a person or animal, but it is possible that other entity types could become exposed. The role is scoped by the source of the exposure, and it is quite possible for a person playing the role of exposed party to also become the scoper a role played by another person. That is to say, once a person has become infected, it is possible, perhaps likely, for that person to infect others. Management of exposures and tracking exposed parties is a key function within public health, and within most public health contexts - exposed parties are known as “contacts.”

RoleClassExposureAgentCarrier

An exposure agent carrier is an entity that is capable of conveying an exposure agent from one entity to another. The scoper of the role must be the exposure agent (e.g., pathogen).

RoleClassExposureVector

Description: A vector is a living subject that carries an exposure agent. The vector does not cause the disease itself, but exposes targets to the exposure agent. A mosquito carrying malaria is an example of a vector. The scoper of the role must be the exposure agent (e.g., pathogen).

RoleClassFlavorAdditive

A substance (player) added to a mixture (scoper) to make it taste a certain way. In food the use is obvious, in pharmaceuticals flavors can hide disgusting taste of the active ingredient (important in pediatric treatments).

RoleClassFomite

Description: A fomite is a non-living entity that is capable of conveying exposure agent from one entity to another. A doorknob contaminated with a Norovirus is an example of a fomite. Anyone touching the doorknob would be exposed to the virus. The scoper of the role must be the exposure agent (e.g., pathogen).

RoleClassGuarantor

A role played by a place at which health care services may be provided without prior designation or authorization.

RoleClassIndividual

Description: A role played by a party covered under a policy as the policy holder. An individual may be either a person or an organization. Note: The party playing the role of an individual insured is not a claimant in the sense conveyed by the RoleClassCoveredParty CLAIM (claimant). However, a named insured may make a claim under a policy, e.g., a party that is the named insured and policy holder under a comprehensive automobile insurance policy may become the claimant for coverage under that policy if injured in an automobile accident and there is no liable third party. In the case of an individual insured making a claim, a role type code INSCLM (insured claimant) subtypes the class to indicate that an individual insured has filed a claim for a loss. Example: The individual insured under a comprehensive automobile, disability, or property and casualty policy that is the policy holder.

RoleClassIngredientEntity

Relates a component (player) to a mixture (scoper). E.g., Glucose and Water are ingredients of D5W, latex may be an ingredient in a tracheal tube.

RoleClassInvestigationSubject

An entity that is the subject of an investigation. This role is scoped by the party responsible for the investigation.

RoleClassInvoicePayor

The role of an organization that undertakes to accept claims invoices, assess the coverage or payments due for those invoices and pay to the designated payees for those invoices. This role may be either the underwriter or a third-party organization authorized by the underwriter. The scoping entity is the organization that underwrites the claimed coverage.

RoleClassIsolate

A microorganism that has been isolated from other microorganisms or a source matrix.

RoleClassLicensedEntity

RoleClassMutualRelationship

A relationship that is based on mutual behavior of the two Entities as being related. The basis of such relationship may be agreements (e.g., spouses, contract parties) or they may be de facto behavior (e.g. friends) or may be an incidental involvement with each other (e.g. parties over a dispute, siblings, children).

RoleClassNamedInsured

Description: A role played by a party to an insurance policy to which the insurer agrees to indemnify for losses, provides benefits for, or renders services. A named insured may be either a person, non-person living subject, or an organization, or a group of persons, non-person living subjects, or organizations. Discussion: The coded concept NAMED should not be used where a more specific child concept in this Specializable value set applies. In some cases, the named insured may not be the policy holder, e.g., where a policy holder purchases life insurance policy in which another party is the named insured and the policy holder is the beneficiary of the policy. Note: The party playing the role of a named insured is not a claimant in the sense conveyed by the RoleClassCoveredParty CLAIM (claimant). However, a named insured may make a claim under a policy, e.g., e.g., a party that is the named insured and policy holder under a comprehensive automobile insurance policy may become the claimant for coverage under that policy e.g., if injured in an automobile accident and there is no liable third party. In the case of a named insured making a claim, a role type code INSCLM (insured claimant) subtypes the class to indicate that a named insured has filed a claim for a loss. Example: The named insured under a comprehensive automobile, disability, or property and casualty policy that is the named insured and may or may not be the policy holder.

RoleClassNextOfKin

RoleClassOntological

A relationship in which the scoping Entity defines or specifies what the playing Entity is. Thus, the player’s “being” (Greek: ontos) is specified.

RoleClassOwnedEntity

An Entity (player) for which someone (scoper) is granted by law the right to call the material (player) his own. This entitles the scoper to make decisions about the disposition of that material.

RoleClassPart

An association between two Entities where the playing Entity is considered in some way “part” of the scoping Entity, e.g., as a member, component, ingredient, or content. Being “part” in the broadest sense of the word can mean anything from being an integral structural component to a mere incidental temporary association of a playing Entity with a (generally larger) scoping Entity.

RoleClassPartitive

An association between two Entities where the playing Entity is considered in some way “part” of the scoping Entity, e.g., as a member, component, ingredient, or content. Being “part” in the broadest sense of the word can mean anything from being an integral structural component to a mere incidental temporary association of a playing Entity with a (generally larger) scoping Entity.

RoleClassPassive

An association for a playing Entity that is used, known, treated, handled, built, or destroyed, etc. under the auspices of the scoping Entity. The playing Entity is passive in these roles (even though it may be active in other roles), in the sense that the kinds of things done to it in this role happen without an agreement from the playing Entity.

RoleClassPatient

Description:A Role of a LivingSubject (player) as a recipient of health care services from a healthcare provider (scoper).

RoleClassPayee

The role of an organization or individual designated to receive payment for a claim against a particular coverage. The scoping entity is the organization that is the submitter of the invoice in question.

RoleClassPhysicianAssistant

No description

RoleClassPlaceOfDeath

Definition: Relates a place (playing Entity) as the location where a living subject (scoping Entity) died.

RoleClassPolicyHolder

A role played by a person or organization that holds an insurance policy. The underwriter of that policy is the scoping entity. Discussion:The identifier of the policy is captured in ‘Role.id’ when the Role is a policy holder. A particular policy may cover several individuals one of whom may be, but need not be, the policy holder. Thus the notion of covered party is a role that is distinct from that of the policy holder.

RoleClassPreservative

A substance (player) added to a mixture (scoper) to prevent microorganisms (fungi, bacteria) to spoil the mixture.

RoleClassProductRelated

Description:A value set of product related role classCodes

RoleClassProgramEligible

Description: A role played by a party that meets the eligibility criteria for coverage under a program. A program eligible may be either a person, non-person living subject, or an organization, or a group of persons, non-person living subjects, or organizations. Discussion: A program as typically government administered coverage for parties determined eligible under the terms of the program. Note: The party playing a program eligible is not a claimant in the sense conveyed by the RoleClassCoveredParty CLAIM (claimant). However a program eligible may make a claim under program, e.g., an unemployed worker may claim benefits under an unemployment insurance program, but parties playing these covered party role classes are not, for purposes of this vocabulary and in an effort to clearly distinguish role classes, considered claimants. In the case of a program eligible, a role type code INJWKR (injured worker) subtypes the class to indicate that the covered party in a workers compensation program is an injured worker, and as such, has filed a “claim” under the program for benefits. Likewise, a covered role type code UNEMP (unemployed worker) subtypes the program eligible class to indicate that the covered party in an unemployment insurance program has filed a claim for unemployment benefits. Example: A party meeting eligibility criteria related to health or financial status, e.g., in the U.S., persons meeting health, demographic, or financial criteria established by state and federal law are eligible for Medicaid.

RoleClassQualifiedEntity

An entity (player) that has been recognized as having certain training/experience or other characteristics that would make said entity an appropriate performer for a certain activity. The scoper is an organization that educates or qualifies entities.

RoleClassRetailedMaterial

Material (player) sold by a retailer (scoper), who also give advice to prospective buyers.

RoleClassRoot

Corresponds to the Role class

RoleClassSame

The “same” roleclass asserts an identity between playing and scoping entities: that they are in fact instances of the same entity and, in the case of discrepancies (e.g different DOB, gender), that one or both are in error. Usage: playing and scoping entities must have same classcode, but need not have identical attributes or values. Example: a provider registry maintains sets of conflicting demographic data for what is reported to be the same individual.

RoleClassServiceDeliveryLocation

A role played by a place at which services may be provided.

RoleClassSigningAuthorityOrOfficer

The role of a person (player) who is the officer or signature authority for of a scoping entity, usually an organization (scoper).

Relates an entity (player) (e.g. a device) to a location (scoper) at which it is normally found or stored when not used.

RoleClassStudent

A role played by an individual who is a student of a school, which is the scoping entity.

RoleClassSubscriber

Description: A role played by a person covered under a policy based on association with a sponsor who is the policy holder, and whose association may provide for the eligibility of dependents for coverage. Discussion: The policy holder holds the contract with the policy or program underwriter. The subscriber holds a certificate of coverage under the contract. In legal proceedings concerning the policy or program, the terms of the contract takes precedence over the terms of the certificate of coverage if there are any inconsistencies. Note: The party playing the role of a subscriber is not a claimant in the sense conveyed by the RoleClassCoveredParty CLAIM (claimant). However, a subscriber may make a claim under a policy, e.g., a subscriber under a health insurance policy may become the claimant for coverage under that policy for wellness examines or if injured and there is no liable third party. In the case of a subscriber making a claim, a role type code INSCLM (insured claimant) subtypes the class to indicate that the subscriber has filed a claim for services covered under the health insurance policy. Example: An employee or a member of an association.

RoleClassSubstancePresence

The presence of an bio-chemical entity (substance) at a location or environment, such as an ingredient in a mixture, molecular part of a complex, a located entity at a cellular structure, or content of a container, such as a vesicle.

RoleClassSubsumedBy

Relates a prevailing record of an Entity (scoper) with another record (player) that it subsumes. Examples: Show a correct new Person object (scoper) that subsumes one or more duplicate Person objects that had accidentally been created for the same physical person. Constraints: Both the player and scoper must have the same classCode.

RoleClassSubsumer

An entity that subsumes the identity of another. Used in the context of merging documented entity instances. Both the player and scoper must have the same classCode. The use of this code is deprecated in favor of the term SUBY which is its inverse and is more ontologically correct.

RoleClassTerritoryOfAuthority

Relates a place entity (player) as the region over which the scoper (typically an Organization) has certain authority (jurisdiction). For example, the Calgary Regional Health Authority (scoper) has authority over the territory “Region 4 of Alberta” (player) in matters of health.

RoleClassTherapeuticAgent

A manufactured material (player) that is used for its therapeutic properties. The manufacturer is the scoper.

RoleClassUnderwriter

A role played by a person or an organization. It is the party that

  1. accepts fiscal responsibility for insurance plans and the policies created under those plans;
  2. administers and accepts fiscal responsibility for a program that provides coverage for services to eligible individuals; and/or
  3. has the responsibility to assess the merits of each risk and decide a suitable premium for accepting all or part of the risk. If played by an organization, this role may be further specified by an appropriate RoleCode. Example:
  4. A health insurer;
  5. Medicaid Program;
  6. Lloyd’s of London
RoleClassUsedEntity

Description:An entity (player) that is used by another entity (scoper)

RoleClassWarrantedProduct

A role a product plays when a guarantee is given to the purchaser by the seller (scoping entity) stating that the product is reliable and free from known defects and that the seller will repair or replace defective parts within a given time limit and under certain conditions.

RoleInformationSensitivityPolicy

RoleSensitivity codes are used to bind information to a Role.confidentialityCode per organizational policy. Role.confidentialityCode is defined in the RIM as “an indication of the appropriate disclosure of information about this Role with respect to the playing Entity.”

The source Role has indirect authority over the target role in a chain of authority.

RoleLinkHasPart

The target Role is part of the Source Role.

RoleLinkIdentification

Definition: The source role provides identification for the target role. The source role must be IDENT. The player entity of the source role is constrained to be the same as the player of the target role if present. If the player is absent from the source role, then it is assumed to be the same as the player of the target role.

RoleLinkIsBackupFor

This relationship indicates the source Role is available to the target Role as a backup. An entity in a backup role will be available as a substitute or replacement in the event that the entity assigned the role is unavailable. In medical roles where it is critical that the function be performed and there is a possibility that the individual assigned may be ill or otherwise indisposed, another individual is assigned to cover for the individual originally assigned the role. A backup may be required to be identified, but unless the backup is actually used, he/she would not assume the assigned entity role.

RoleLinkRelated

An action taken with respect to a subject Entity by a regulatory or authoritative body with supervisory capacity over that entity. The action is taken in response to behavior by the subject Entity that body finds to be undesirable. Suspension, license restrictions, monetary fine, letter of reprimand, mandated training, mandated supervision, etc.Examples:

RoleLinkReplaces

This relationship indicates that the source Role replaces (or subsumes) the target Role. Allows for new identifiers and/or new effective time for a registry entry or a certification, etc.

v3 Code System ActCode

A code specifying the particular kind of Act that the Act-instance represents within its class. Constraints: The kind of Act (e.g. physical examination, serum potassium, inpatient encounter, charge financial transaction, etc.) is specified with a code from one of several, typically external, coding systems. The coding system will depend on the class of Act, such as LOINC for observations, etc. Conceptually, the Act.code must be a specialization of the Act.classCode. This is why the structure of ActClass domain should be reflected in the superstructure of the ActCode domain and then individual codes or externally referenced vocabularies subordinated under these domains that reflect the ActClass structure. Act.classCode and Act.code are not modifiers of each other but the Act.code concept should really imply the Act.classCode concept. For a negative example, it is not appropriate to use an Act.code “potassium” together with and Act.classCode for “laboratory observation” to somehow mean “potassium laboratory observation” and then use the same Act.code for “potassium” together with Act.classCode for “medication” to mean “substitution of potassium”.

ADA Universal Tooth Designation System

The American Dental Association (ADA) accepted the Universal/National Tooth Designation System and the ISO/ANSI/ADA Specification No. 3950 for Designation System for Teeth and Areas of the Oral Cavity as the human tooth and oral cavity enumeration schemas in 1994. The universal tooth designation or numbering system is accepted and approved by the ADA and is the most commonly used system used by dental professionals in America. Teeth are numbered 1-32, starting with the third molar (1) on the right side of the upper arch, following around the arch to the third molar (16) on the left side, and descending to the lower third molar (17) on the left side, and following that arch to the terminus of the lower jaw, the lower right third molar (32). Supernumerary teeth are identified by the numbers 51 through 82, beginning with the area of the upper right third molar, following around the upper arch and continuing on the lower arch to the area of the lower right third molar (e.g., supernumerary #51 is adjacent to the upper right molar #1; supernumerary #82 is adjacent to the lower right third molar #32). The Universal Numbering System can be found in the ADA Dental Claim Form. For more information see here: https://www.ada.org/publications/cdt/ada-dental-claim-form. A Statement of Understanding (SOU) between ADA and HL7 exists here: http://www.hl7.org/documentcenter/public/mou/ADA%20HL7%20SOU%202021_signed.pdf

AHFS Pharmacologic-Therapeutic Classification

Description: The AHFS Pharmacologic-Therapeutic Classification has been in use in hospitals in the United States since its inception in 1959. An integral part of the American Hospital Formulary Service, the AHFS classification allows the grouping of drugs with similar pharmacologic, therapeutic, and/or chemical characteristics. Today, the AHFS classification is used by many people outside of hospitals.

This attribute contains an acknowledgement code as described in the HL7 message processing rules. OpenIssue: Description was copied from attribute and needs to be improved to be appropriate for a code system.

ActClass

A code specifying the major type of Act that this Act-instance represents. Constraints: The classCode domain is a tightly controlled vocabulary, not an external or user-defined vocabulary. Every Act-instance must have a classCode. If the act class is not further specified, the most general Act.classCode (ACT) is used. The Act.classCode must be a generalization of the specific Act concept (e.g., as expressed in Act.code), in other words, the Act concepts conveyed in an Act must be specializations of the Act.classCode. Especially, Act.code is not a “modifier” that can alter the meaning of a class code. (See Act.code for contrast.)

ActCode

A code specifying the particular kind of Act that the Act-instance represents within its class. Constraints: The kind of Act (e.g. physical examination, serum potassium, inpatient encounter, charge financial transaction, etc.) is specified with a code from one of several, typically external, coding systems. The coding system will depend on the class of Act, such as LOINC for observations, etc. Conceptually, the Act.code must be a specialization of the Act.classCode. This is why the structure of ActClass domain should be reflected in the superstructure of the ActCode domain and then individual codes or externally referenced vocabularies subordinated under these domains that reflect the ActClass structure. Act.classCode and Act.code are not modifiers of each other but the Act.code concept should really imply the Act.classCode concept. For a negative example, it is not appropriate to use an Act.code “potassium” together with and Act.classCode for “laboratory observation” to somehow mean “potassium laboratory observation” and then use the same Act.code for “potassium” together with Act.classCode for “medication” to mean “substitution of potassium”. This mutually modifying use of Act.code and Act.classCode is not permitted.

ActExposureLevelCode

The vote was found “Persuasive With Mod”, with the understanding that M and M would undertake a detailed review of these concept definitions for a future release of the RIM.

ActPriority

A set of codes (e.g., for routine, emergency), specifying the urgency under which the Act happened, can happen, is happening, is intended to happen, or is requested/demanded to happen.

ActReason

A set of codes specifying the motivation, cause, or rationale of an Act, when such rationale is not reasonably represented as an ActRelationship of type “has reason” linking to another Act. Examples: Example reasons that might qualify for being coded in this field might be: “routine requirement”, “infectious disease reporting requirement”, “on patient request”, “required by law”.

ActRelationshipCheckpoint

A code specifying when in the course of an Act a precondition for the Act is evaluated (e.g., before the Act starts for the first time, before every repetition, after each repetition but not before the first, or throughout the entire time of the Act.) Discussion: This attribute is part of the workflow control suite of attributes. An action plan is a composite Act with component Acts. In a sequential plan, each component has a sequenceNumber that specifies the ordering of the plan steps. Before each step is executed and has preconditions these conditions are tested and if the test is positive, the Act has clearance for execution. The repeatNumber may indicate that an Act may be repeatedly executed. The checkpointCode is specifies when the precondition is checked and is analogous to the various conditional statements and loop constructs in programming languages “while-do” vs. “do-while” or “repeat-until” vs. “loop-exit”. For all checkpointCodes, except “end”, preconditions are being checked at the time when the preceding step of the plan has terminated and this step would be next in the sequence established by the sequenceNumber attribute. When the checkpointCode for a criterion of a repeatable Act is “end”, the criterion is tested only at the end of each repetition of that Act. When the condition holds true, the next repetition is ready for execution. When the checkpointCode is “entry” the criterion is checked at the beginning of each repetition (if any) whereas “beginning” means the criterion is checked only once before the repetition “loop” starts. The checkpointCode “through” is special in that it requires the condition to hold throughout the execution of the Act, even throughout a single execution. As soon as the condition turns false, the Act should receive an interrupt event (see interruptibleInd) and will eventually terminate. The checkpointCode “exit” is only used on a special plan step that represents a loop exit step. This allows an action plan to exit due to a condition tested inside the execution of this plan. Such exit criteria are sequenced with the other plan components using the ActRelationship.sequenceNumber.

ActRelationshipJoin

A code specifying how concurrent Acts are resynchronized in a parallel branch construct. Discussion: This attribute is part of the workflow control suite of attributes. An action plan is a composite Act with component Acts. In a sequential plan, each component has a sequenceNumber that specifies the ordering of the plan steps. Branches exist when multiple components have the same sequenceNumber. Branches are parallel if the splitCode specifies that more than one branch can be executed at the same time. The joinCode then specifies if and how the braches are resynchronized. The principal re-synchronization actions are (1) the control flow waits for a branch to terminate (wait-branch), (2) the branch that is not yet terminated is aborted (kill-branch), (3) the branch is not re-synchronized at all and continues in parallel (detached branch). A kill branch is only executed if there is at least one active wait (or exclusive wait) branch. If there is no other wait branch active, a kill branch is not started at all (rather than being aborted shortly after it is started.) Since a detached branch is unrelated to all other branches, active detached branches do not protect a kill-branch from being aborted.

ActRelationshipSplit

A code specifying how branches in an action plan are selected among other branches. Discussion: This attribute is part of the workflow control suite of attributes. An action plan is a composite Act with component Acts. In a sequential plan, each component has a sequenceNumber that specifies the ordering of the plan steps. Branches exist when multiple components have the same sequenceNumber. The splitCode specifies whether a branch is executed exclusively (case-switch) or inclusively, i.e., in parallel with other branches. In addition to exlusive and inclusive split the splitCode specifies how the pre-condition (also known as “guard conditions” on the branch) are evaluated. A guard condition may be evaluated once when the branching step is entered and if the conditions do not hold at that time, the branch is abandoned. Conversely execution of a branch may wait until the guard condition turns true. In exclusive wait branches, the first branch whose guard conditions turn true will be executed and all other branches abandoned. In inclusive wait branches some branches may already be executed while other branches still wait for their guard conditions to turn true.
