Elements

Name Required Type Description
identifier Identifier[] Unique id for the detected issue
Details
Business identifier associated with the detected issue record.
status code registered \
code CodeableConcept Issue Category, e.g. drug-drug, duplicate therapy, etc.
Details
Identifies the general type of issue identified.
severity code high \
patient Reference<Patient> Associated patient
Details
Indicates the patient whose record the detected issue is associated with.
identified[x] dateTime, Period When identified
Details
The date or period when the detected issue was initially identified.
author Reference<Practitioner
PractitionerRole
implicated Reference[] Problem resource
Details
Indicates the resource representing the current activity or proposed activity that is potentially problematic.
There's an implicit constraint on the number of implicated resources based on DetectedIssue.type; e.g. For drug-drug, there would be more than one. For timing, there would typically only be one.
evidence DetectedIssueEvidence[] Supporting evidence
Details
Supporting evidence or manifestations that provide the basis for identifying the detected issue such as a GuidanceResponse or MeasureReport.
id string 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.
extension Extension[] 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.
modifierExtension Extension[] 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.
code CodeableConcept[] Manifestation
Details
A manifestation that led to the recording of this detected issue.
detail Reference[] Supporting information
Details
Links to resources that constitute evidence for the detected issue such as a GuidanceResponse or MeasureReport.
detail string Description and context
Details
A textual explanation of the detected issue.
Should focus on information not covered elsewhere as discrete data - no need to duplicate the narrative.
reference uri Authority for issue
Details
The literature, knowledge-base or similar reference that describes the propensity for the detected issue identified.
mitigation DetectedIssueMitigation[] Step taken to address
Details
Indicates an action that has been taken or is committed to reduce or eliminate the likelihood of the risk identified by the detected issue from manifesting. Can also reflect an observation of known mitigating factors that may reduce/eliminate the need for any action.
id string 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.
extension Extension[] 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.
modifierExtension Extension[] 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.
action CodeableConcept What mitigation?
Details
Describes the action that was taken or the observation that was made that reduces/eliminates the risk associated with the identified issue.
The "text" component can be used for detail or when no appropriate code exists.
date dateTime Date committed
Details
Indicates when the mitigating action was documented.
This might not be the same as when the mitigating step was actually taken.
author Reference<Practitioner
PractitionerRole> Who is committing?
Details
Identifies the practitioner who determined the mitigation and takes responsibility for the mitigation step occurring.

Inherited Elements

Name Required Type Description
id string 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.
meta Meta 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.
implicitRules uri 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.
language code 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.
text Narrative 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.
contained Resource[] 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.
extension Extension[] 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.
modifierExtension Extension[] 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.
