CatalogEntry

Catalog entries are wrappers that contextualize items included in a catalog.

Elements

NameRequiredTypeDescription
identifierIdentifier[]

Unique identifier of the catalog item

Details

Used in supporting different identifiers for the same product, e.g. manufacturer code and retailer code.

typeCodeableConcept

The type of item - medication, device, service, protocol or other

Details

The type of item - medication, device, service, protocol or other.

orderableboolean

Whether the entry represents an orderable item

Details

Whether the entry represents an orderable item.

referencedItemReference< Medication | Device | Organization | Practitioner | PractitionerRole | HealthcareService | ActivityDefinition | PlanDefinition | SpecimenDefinition | ObservationDefinition | Binary >

The item that is being defined

Details

The item in a catalog or definition.

additionalIdentifierIdentifier[]

Any additional identifier(s) for the catalog item, in the same granularity or concept

Details

Used in supporting related concepts, e.g. NDC to RxNorm.

classificationCodeableConcept[]

Classification (category or class) of the item entry

Details

Classes of devices, or ATC for medication.

statuscode

draft | active | retired | unknown

Details

Used to support catalog exchange even for unsupported products, e.g. getting list of medications even if not prescribable.

validityPeriodPeriod

The time period in which this catalog entry is expected to be active

Details

The time period in which this catalog entry is expected to be active.

validTodateTime

The date until which this catalog entry is expected to be active

Details

The date until which this catalog entry is expected to be active.

lastUpdateddateTime

When was this catalog last updated

Details

Typically date of issue is different from the beginning of the validity. This can be used to see when an item was last updated.

Perhaps not needed - if we use fhir resource metadata.

additionalCharacteristicCodeableConcept[]

Additional characteristics of the catalog entry

Details

Used for examplefor Out of Formulary, or any specifics.

additionalClassificationCodeableConcept[]

Additional classification of the catalog entry

Details

User for example for ATC classification, or.

relatedEntryCatalogEntryRelatedEntry[]

An item that this catalog entry is related to

Details

Used for example, to point to a substance, or to a device used to administer a medication.

idstring

Unique id for inter-element referencing

Details

Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

extensionExtension[]

Additional content defined by implementations

Details

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

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

modifierExtensionExtension[]

Extensions that cannot be ignored even if unrecognized

Details

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

relationtypecode

triggers | is-replaced-by

Details

The type of relation to the related item: child, parent, packageContent, containerPackage, usedIn, uses, requires, etc.

itemReference<CatalogEntry>

The reference to the related item

Details

The reference to the related item.

Search Parameters

None

Inherited Elements

NameRequiredTypeDescription
idstring

Logical id of this artifact

Details

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

The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.

metaMeta

Metadata about the resource

Details

The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

implicitRulesuri

A set of rules under which this content was created

Details

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

languagecode

Language of the resource content

Details

The base language in which the resource is written.

Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).

textNarrative

Text summary of the resource, for human interpretation

Details

A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later.

containedResource[]

Contained, inline Resources

Details

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags In their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels.

extensionExtension[]

Additional content defined by implementations

Details

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

modifierExtensionExtension[]

Extensions that cannot be ignored

Details

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).
