FamilyMemberHistory | Medplum

Elements

Name	Required	Type	Description
identifier		Identifier[]	External Id(s) for this record Details Business identifiers assigned to this family member history by the performer or other systems which remain constant as the resource is updated and propagates from server to server. This is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion). It is best practice for the identifier to only appear on a single resource instance, however business practices may occasionally dictate that multiple resource instances with the same identifier can exist - possibly even with different resource types. For example, multiple Patient and a Person resource instance might share the same social insurance number.
instantiatesCanonical		canonical[]	Instantiates FHIR protocol or definition Details The URL pointing to a FHIR-defined protocol, guideline, orderset or other definition that is adhered to in whole or in part by this FamilyMemberHistory.
instantiatesUri		uri[]	Instantiates external protocol or definition Details The URL pointing to an externally maintained protocol, guideline, orderset or other definition that is adhered to in whole or in part by this FamilyMemberHistory. This might be an HTML page, PDF, etc. or could just be a non-resolvable URI identifier.
status	✓	code	partial
dataAbsentReason		CodeableConcept	subject-unknown
patient	✓	Reference< Patient >	Patient history is about Details The person who this history concerns.
date		dateTime	When history was recorded or last updated Details The date (and possibly time) when the family member history was recorded or last updated. This should be captured even if the same as the date on the List aggregating the full family history.
name		string	The family member described Details This will either be a name or a description; e.g. "Aunt Susan", "my cousin with the red hair".
relationship	✓	CodeableConcept	Relationship to the subject Details The type of relationship this person has to the patient (father, mother, brother etc.).
sex		CodeableConcept	male
born[x]		Period, date, string	(approximate) date of birth Details The actual or approximate date of birth of the relative.
age[x]		Age, Range, string	(approximate) age Details The age of the relative at the time the family member history is recorded. use estimatedAge to indicate whether the age is actual or not.
estimatedAge		boolean	Age is estimated? Details If true, indicates that the age value specified is an estimated value. This element is labeled as a modifier because the fact that age is estimated can/should change the results of any algorithm that calculates based on the specified age.
deceased[x]		boolean, Age, Range, date, string	Dead? How old/when? Details Deceased flag or the actual or approximate age of the relative at the time of death for the family member history record.
reasonCode		CodeableConcept[]	Why was family member history performed? Details Describes why the family member history occurred in coded or textual form. Textual reasons can be captured using reasonCode.text.
reasonReference		Reference< Condition	Observation
note		Annotation[]	General note about related person Details This property allows a non condition-specific note to the made about the related person. Ideally, the note would be in the condition property, but this is not always possible.
condition		FamilyMemberHistoryCondition[]	Condition that the related person had Details The significant Conditions (or condition) that the family member had. This is a repeating section to allow a system to represent more than one condition per resource, though there is nothing stopping multiple resources - one per condition.
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. 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.
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. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself). There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.
code	✓	CodeableConcept	Condition suffered by relation Details The actual condition specified. Could be a coded condition (like MI or Diabetes) or a less specific string like 'cancer' depending on how much is known about the condition and the capabilities of the creating system.
outcome		CodeableConcept	deceased
contributedToDeath		boolean	Whether the condition contributed to the cause of death Details This condition contributed to the cause of death of the related person. If contributedToDeath is not populated, then it is unknown.
onset[x]		Age, Range, Period, string	When condition first manifested Details Either the age of onset, range of approximate age or descriptive string can be recorded. For conditions with multiple occurrences, this describes the first known occurrence.
note		Annotation[]	Extra information about condition Details An area where general notes can be placed about this specific condition.

Inherited Elements

Name	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).
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. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety. Contained resources do not have 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. 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.
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.
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. However, the governing set of rules applies to the definition and use of extensions.
