27.10.2.1Field MSH-3 (Sending Application)

For an inbound message being consumed by Smile CDR, this field will be placed in MessageHeader.source.endpoint (MSH-3.1) and MessageHeader.source.name (MSH-3.2) when the Create Message Header for Each Message property or the Store Original HL7v2 message property is used.

For an outbound message being generated by Smile CDR, this field can be sourced from MessageHeader.source.name. See Using Persisted MessageHeader Resources for more information.

Note that this field has a DSTU3 mode mapping.

27.10.2.2Field MSH-4 (Sending System)

For an inbound message being consumed by Smile CDR, this field will be placed in MessageHeader.sender.identifier when the Create Message Header for Each Message property is enabled. Note this mapping requires both MSH-4.1 and MSH-4.2 to be populated with an identifier system and value respectively.

For an outbound message being generated by Smile CDR, this field can be sourced from MessageHeader.sender.identifier. See Using Persisted MessageHeader Resources for more information.

27.10.2.3Field MSH-5 (Receiving Application)

For an inbound message being consumed by Smile CDR, this field will be placed in MessageHeader.destination.endpoint (MSH-5.1) and MessageHeader.destination.name (MSH-5.2) when the Create Message Header for Each Message property is used.

For an outbound message being generated by Smile CDR, this field can be sourced from MessageHeader.destination.name. See Using Persisted MessageHeader Resources for more information.

Note that this field has a DSTU3 mode mapping.

27.10.2.4Field MSH-6 (Receiving System)

For an inbound message being consumed by Smile CDR, this field will be placed in MessageHeader.destination.receiver.identifier when the Create Message Header for Each Message property is enabled. Note this mapping requires both MSH-4.1 and MSH-4.2 to be populated with an identifier system and value respectively.

For an outbound message being generated by Smile CDR, this field can be sourced from MessageHeader.destination.receiver.identifier. See Using Persisted MessageHeader Resources for more information.

27.10.2.5Field MSH-9 (Message Type)

For an inbound message being consumed by Smile CDR, Event Type (MSH-9.2) will be used as the EventType for MessageHeader.event. If an unknown Event Type is provided, a Coding with no system, no code, and a display of "Unknown" is used.

In addition, this field will be used to infer Encounter.status. If an unknown Trigger Event is provided, a default EncounterStatus of Unknown is used.

Note that this field has a DSTU3 mode mapping.

27.10.2.6Field MSH-10 (Control ID)

The message control ID will be used to track the progress of a message through the system, and should be unique per message. It does not need to be unique between systems.

When processing inbound HL7 v2.x messages, if Create MessageHeader for Each Message is enabled, the MSH-10 Control ID value will be placed in the MessageHeader resource in an extension with the following URL:

27.10.4.1Field PID-3 (Patient Business Identifier)

Patients are required to have at least one repetition of PID-3, and the first repetition must have an identifier type code (PID-3.5) of either MR or MB – depending on which is configured for a given HL7 v2.x Listening Endpoint module. This will be used as the primary business identifier upon which other processing decisions will be made.

Whichever of the two values is used in PID-3[0]-5, it must be used consistently to ensure Patients are updated correctly. The accepted value can be configured using the Patient Primary Identifier Type property.

Note that this setting should not be changed for a repository that already contains data. Changing it may result in multiple Patient resources for the same real-world patient.

Patients may have an unlimited number of other identifiers as well.

Identifiers in this field must be globally unique, and must never be reused.

27.10.4.2Field PID-5 (Patient Name List)

PID-5.3 (Middle Name) may contain multiple space-separated names. Each name will be separated into an individual repetition of the FHIR Patient.name.given.

27.10.4.3Field PID-6 (Mother's Maiden Name)

Repetitions of this field are mapped to mothersMaidenName extensions on the Patient.

Note that this field has a DSTU3 mode mapping.

27.10.4.4Field PID-10 (Race)

PID-10 contains a coded race. While this field has a location in the HL7 v2.x specification, there is no equivalent element in the FHIR specification.

Race is therefore mapped to an extension in the Patient resource. There is not currently a standard extension in the FHIR specification for this concept, although the US Core Implementation Guide does define such an extension (reference).

As such, the PID-10 field is overloaded to provide both the race code, code system, and display name, but also the extension URL used to store this element.

The following is a sample value for this field. Note that for readability, repetitions of the field are shown on separate lines. In a real message these would be joined within the field. 2054-5^Black or African American^urn:oid:2.16.840.1.113883.6.238^^^^http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-race^ombCategory~

The format for this field is as follows:

  • CE.1: Code
  • CE.2: Display Name
  • CE.3: Code System
  • CE.4: (Unused)
  • CE.5: (Unused)
  • CE.6: (Unused)
  • CE.7: Extension URL
  • CE.8: Nested Extension URL

The following is an example of the corresponding extension:

"extension": [

          "display": "Black"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
]

Note that when converting FHIR to HL7 v2.x, if the race extension has only one child (i.e. a category but not a detailed value, or vice-versa), CE.7 and CE.8 will not be populated in the generated PID segment in order to avoid clutter which can be confusing to HL7 v2.x systems.

27.10.4.5Field PID-13 (Phone/Telecom List - Home)

PID-13.2 (Telecom Use) will be assumed to be PRN (Home) if not present.

Note that this field is an XTN Data Type.

27.10.4.6Field PID-14 (Phone/Telecom List - Work)

PID-14.2 (Telecom Use) will be assumed to be PRN (Work) if not present.

Note that this field is an XTN Data Type.

27.10.4.7Field PID-17 (Religion)

Note that this field is not currently populated for outbound interfaces.

27.10.4.8Field PID-18 (Patient Account Number)

27.10.4.9Field PID-13 (Race)

A standalone Account resource will be added when use_standalone_pid18_patient_account is toggled on and identifiers are provided.

Otherwise, it is mapped to a contained Account resource on the Encounter.

27.10.4.10Field PID-22 (Ethnicity)

PID-22 contains a coded ethnicity. While this field has a location in the HL7 v2.x specification, there is no equivalent element in the FHIR specification.

Ethnicity is therefore mapped to an extension in the Patient resource. There is not currently a standard extension in the FHIR specification for this concept, although the US Core Implementation Guide does define such an extension (reference).

As such, the PID-22 field is overloaded to provide both the ethnicity code, code system, and display name, but also the extension URL used to store this element.

The following is a sample value for this field. Note that for readability, repetitions of the field are shown on separate lines. In a real message these would be joined within the field. 2135-2^Hispanic or Latino^urn:oid:2.16.840.1.113883.6.238^^^^http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-race^ombCategory~

          "display": "Mexican"
        }
      }
    ]
  }

Note that when converting FHIR to HL7 v2.x, if the ethnicity extension has only one child (i.e. a category but not a detailed value, or vice-versa), CE.7 and CE.8 will not be populated in the generated PID segment in order to avoid clutter which can be confusing to HL7 v2.x systems.

27.10.4.11Field PID-27 (Veterans Military Status)

Note that this field is not currently populated for outbound interfaces.

27.10.4.12Field PID-28 (Nationality)

Note that this field is not currently populated for outbound interfaces.

27.10.4.13Converting CE Fields to FHIR Extensions

The following CE fields (Coded Elements) are converted into FHIR-equivalent extensions with optional nested extensions:

  • PID-10 (Race)
  • PID-17 (Religion)
  • PID-22 (Ethnic Group)
  • PID-27 (Veterans Military Status)
  • PID-28 (Nationality)

Please note: A given CE field will only be converted if all three of the following are populated:

  • Identifier in first component CE.1;
  • Name of Coding System in third component CE.3; and
  • Extension URL in first extra component CE.7.

Optionally, the following may be included:

  • Text in second component CE.2; and/or
  • Nested Extension URL in second extra component CE.8.

A new extension is created for each CE field.

A Mapper Bean Type can be implemented to ensure these components are appropriately populated for an incoming HL7 v2.x feed prior to converting its messages to FHIR.

27.10.6.1Location Processing for Fields PV1-3 (Assigned Patient Location) and PV1-6 (Prior Patient Location)

By default, we treat each of PL.1, PL.2, and PL.3 as distinct locations (e.g. ward, room, bed). Traditionally, sending systems will populate each of these components with a name for the respective level of the hierarchy (ward -> room -> bed).

When converting to FHIR it is desirable for each location to be treated as a distinct Location resource. This is a challenge as the PL datatype does not have a spot to hold three separate identifiers.

There are several strategies that can be used when supplying location information in HL7 v2.x messages.

27.10.6.1.1No Identifiers

If PL.10.1/PL.10.2, PL.14/PL.15, PL.17/PL.18, and PL.11.1 are not populated, Locations will be created but they will be created as contained resources.

Component Mapping Usage
PL.1Location.nameWard Name
PL.2Location.nameRoom Name
PL.3Location.nameBed Name

Example:

The following example shows PV1-3 (other fields have been omitted for clarity) with a 3-level hierarchy and no identifiers. This will result in three distinct contained Location resources (i.e. one ward, one room, and one bed). PV1|||Acme Hospital^3rd Floor Room 124^Bed 13||||

27.10.6.1.2Comprehensive Identifiers in PL.10

The PL.10.1/PL.10.2, PL.14/PL.15, and PL.17/PL.18 component pairs may be used to store location identifiers. If these pairs of components are populated, Location resources will be created as standalone (non-contained) resources, using the identifiers provided as the resource primary identifiers.

Note that this approach takes advantage of extra components, meaning that it uses non-standard components that are added to the end of the regular components. PL typically only has 11 components but here we extend it to have 18 components (i.e. 7 extra components).

Component Mapping Usage
PL.1Location.nameWard Name
PL.2Location.nameRoom Name
PL.3Location.nameBed Name
PL.4.1Location.managingOrganizationFacility Identifier Value
PL.9Location.descriptionLocation/Ward Description

PL.15Location.identifier.valueRoom Identifier System
PL.16Location.descriptionBed Description
PL.17Location.identifier.systemBed Identifier Value
PL.18Location.identifier.valueBed Identifier System

Example:

The following example shows PV1-3 (other fields have been omitted for clarity) with a 3-level hierarchy and identifiers stored in PL.10. This will result in three distinct standalone Location resources (i.e. one ward, one room, and one bed), each with their own identifiers. PV1|||Acme Hospital^3rd Floor Room 124^Bed 13^^^^^^^acme&https://acme.org/sites^^^^3fl124^https://acme.org/rooms^^3fl124b13^https://acme.org/beds||||

27.10.6.1.3Identifier System in PL.11.1

The PL.11.1 sub-component may be used to provide an identifier system. In this case, standalone Location resources will be created. These resources will have a primary identifier where:

  • The identifier system is drawn from PL.11.1
  • The identifier value is drawn from PL.1, PL.2, or PL.3

This technique is simpler than the previous technique, but it comes with an important caveat: Location names (PL.1, PL.2, and PL.3) must be unique across the entire system. For example, if a bed is named "Bed 13" this is not likely to be sufficiently unique since there may be multiple locations with this same name.

This will result in three distinct standalone Location resources (i.e. one ward, one room, and one bed), each with their own identifiers. The identifier system for each of these locations will be the same. PV1|||Acme Hospital^3rd Floor Room 124^3rd Floor Room 124 Bed 13^^^^^^^^https://acme.org/location||||

27.10.6.2Field PV1-2 (Patient Class)

The PV1-2 (Patient Class) is used to infer Encounter.class. If an unknown Patient Class is provided, Encounter.class will use an IMP (Inpatient) ActEncounterCode.

Note that this field has a DSTU3 mode mapping.

27.10.6.3Field PV1-3 (Assigned Patient Location)

PV1-3 can potentially result in as many as three different related Location resources: one for the ward; one for the room; and one for the bed. This is accomplished using various extra components.

27.10.6.3.1Component PV1-3.1 (Ward)

If PV1-3.1 is populated, the following will occur:

  • A Location resource will be created/updated for this ward.
  • The value of PL.1 will be stored in Location.name.
  • Location.type will indicate a hospital unit.
  • Location.physicalType will indicate a ward.
  • The value of PL.9 will be stored in Location.description.
  • If both PL.10.1 and PL.10.2 are populated, they will be stored in Location.identifier.value and Location.identifier.system, and the Location resource will be persisted as a distinct top-level resource. If no identifier is present, the Location will be added as a contained resource on the Encounter.

27.10.6.3.2Component PV1-3.2 (Room)

If PV1-3.2 is populated, the following will occur:

  • A Location resource will be created/updated for this room.
  • The value of PL.2 will be stored in Location.name.
  • Location.physicalType will indicate a room.
  • The value of PL.13 will be stored in Location.description.
  • If both PL.14 and PL.15 are populated, they will be stored in Location.identifier.value and Location.identifier.system, and the Location resource will be persisted as a distinct top-level resource. If no identifier is present, the Location will be added as a contained resource on the Encounter.
  • Location.partOf will reference the Location resource associated with PL.1 (Ward).

27.10.6.3.3Component PV1-3.3 (Bed)

If PV1-3.3 is populated, the following will occur:

  • A Location resource will be created/updated for this bed.
  • The value of PL.3 will be stored in Location.name.
  • Location.physicalType will indicate a bed.
  • The value of PL.16 will be stored in Location.description.
  • If both PL.17 and PL.18 are populated, they will be stored in Location.identifier.value and Location.identifier.system, and the Location resource will be persisted as a distinct top-level resource. If no identifier is present, the Location will be added as a contained resource on the Encounter.
  • Location.partOf will reference the Location resource associated with PL.2 (Room).

27.10.6.3.4Component PV1-3.4 (Facility)

If both PL.4.1 and PL.12 are populated, they will constitute Organization.identifier.value and Organization.identifier.system respectively for the Organization to be referenced in Location.managingOrganization.

27.10.6.4Field PV1-4 (Admit Type)

For inbound messages, Smile CDR will accept any value supplied in this field and will map to Encounter.type, creating a coding with Coding.system = "http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v2-0007".

For outbound messages, Smile CDR will map any Coding in Encounter.type with a system = "http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v2-0007" to this field.

27.10.6.5Field PV1-6 (Prior Patient Location)

PV1-6 is processed similarly to PV1-3 with one addition:

  • Encounter.location.status will indicate a status of completed.

27.10.6.6Alternate Processing of Fields PV1-3 (Assigned Patient Location) and PV1-6 (Prior Patient Location)

Alternatively, we may treat all of PL.1, PL.2, and PL.3 as a single atomic location (e.g. ward-room-bed). Processing the PL in this way will result in a single Location resource. This occurs when the hl7v2_fhir_mapper_pv1.treat_pv1_3_and_6_patient_locations_as_atomic property is enabled.

Location.physicalType will be set in light of the specificity provided (i.e. when PL.3 is populated, Location.physicalType will be set to bd for bed whereas if PL.3 isn't populated but a value exists for PL.2 then Location.physicalType will be set to ro for room, and so on).

Where no suitable identifier is provided, a given Location is contained on the Encounter; otherwise this processing will result in a discrete Location resource.

27.10.6.7Field PV1-3 (Assigned Patient Location)

PV1-3 will result in a single atomic Location resource.

27.10.6.7.1Component PV1-3.3 (Bed)

If PV1-3.3 is populated, the following will occur:

  • A Location resource will be created/updated for this bed.
  • The value of PL.3 will be stored in Location.name.
  • Location.physicalType will indicate a bed.
  • The value of PL.9 will be stored in Location.description.
  • If both PL.10.1 and PL.10.2 are populated, they will be stored in Location.identifier.value and Location.identifier.system, and the Location resource will be persisted as a distinct top-level resource. If no identifier is present, the Location will be added as a contained resource on the Encounter.

27.10.6.7.2Component PV1-3.2 (Room)

Otherwise if PV1-3.2 is populated, the following will occur:

  • A Location resource will be created/updated for this room.
  • The value of PL.2 will be stored in Location.name.
  • Location.physicalType will indicate a room.
  • The value of PL.9 will be stored in Location.description.
  • If both PL.10.1 and PL.10.2 are populated, they will be stored in Location.identifier.value and Location.identifier.system, and the Location resource will be persisted as a distinct top-level resource. If no identifier is present, the Location will be added as a contained resource on the Encounter.

27.10.6.7.3Component PV1-3.1 (Ward)

Otherwise if PV1-3.1 is populated, the following will occur:

  • A Location resource will be created/updated for this ward.
  • The value of PL.1 will be stored in Location.name.
  • Location.type will indicate a hospital unit.
  • Location.physicalType will indicate a ward.
  • The value of PL.9 will be stored in Location.description.
  • If both PL.10.1 and PL.10.2 are populated, they will be stored in Location.identifier.value and Location.identifier.system, and the Location resource will be persisted as a distinct top-level resource. If no identifier is present, the Location will be added as a contained resource on the Encounter.

27.10.6.7.4Component PV1-3.4 (Facility)

If both PL.4.1 and PL.12 are populated, they will constitute Organization.identifier.value and Organization.identifier.system respectively for the Organization to be referenced in Location.managingOrganization.

27.10.6.8Field PV1-6 (Prior Patient Location)

PV1-6 is processed similarly to PV1-3 with one addition:

  • Encounter.location.status will indicate a status of completed.

27.10.6.9Field PV1-7 (Attending Provider)

This field is not used by default, as it is preferable to use the ROL segment for Encounter-Practitioner mappings.

For inbound messages, this field will only be processed if Parse Encounter Providers is enabled in the HL7 v2.x Listening Endpoint module configuration.

An optional extra component in PV1-10.3 may be used to specify a code system URL for the code used in PV1-10.1.

This field is mapped to FHIR Encounter.serviceType which is of type CodeableConcept.

27.10.6.13Field PV1-14 (Admit Source)

This field maps to Encounter.hospitalization.admitSource. If only a single component is provided, its value will be stored in Encounter.hospitalization.admitSource.text.

This field can also be overloaded such that its value will be treated as a coded value. If both a code is provided in PV1-14.1 and a code system is provided in PV1-14.3 then these values will be stored in Encounter.hospitalization.admitSource.coding. Optionally, PV1-14.2 may be populated to provide a display name.

The format for this overloaded field is as follows:

  • PV1-14.1: Code

For inbound messages, this field will only be processed if Parse Encounter Providers is enabled in the HL7 v2.x Listening Endpoint module configuration.

For outbound messages, this field will only be populated if Populate Encounter Participants in PV1 is enabled.

27.10.6.16Field PV1-18 (Patient Type)

For inbound messages, Smile CDR will accept any value supplied in this field and will map to Encounter.type, creating a coding with Coding.system = "http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v2-0018".

For outbound messages, Smile CDR will map any Coding in Encounter.type with a system = "http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v2-0018" to this field.

27.10.6.17Field PV1-19 (Visit Number)

This field must contain an identifier that is used as the primary business identifier for the visit/encounter.

Identifiers in this field must be globally unique, and must never be reused.

27.10.6.18Field PV1-20 (Financial Class)

This field is mapped to an extension on the FHIR Encounter with the following URL:

https://smilecdr.com/fhir/ns/StructureDefinition/encounter-financial-class

The value of PV1-20.1 is placed in a child extension with a url of code with a datatype of Coding.

The value of PV1-20.2 is placed in a child extension with a url of effectiveDate with a datatype of DateTime.

27.10.6.19Field PV1-24 (Contract Code)

This field is mapped to an extension on the FHIR Encounter which is of type CodeableConcept and has the following URL:

https://smilecdr.com/fhir/ns/StructureDefinition/encounter-contract-code

27.10.6.20Field PV1-36 (Discharge Disposition)

This field is of type IS in HL7 v2.x, meaning it does not provide a space for a code system and assumes the code to be in HL7 Table 0112.

This field is mapped to Encounter.hospitalization.dischargeDisposition which is of type CodeableConcept.

An optional extra component in PV1-36.2 may be used to specify a display name for the code used in PV1-36.1.

27.10.8.1Field ROL-3 (Role Code)

This field is required when mapping a role associated with an encounter but is ignored when mapping a role associated with a patient.

This field will be mapped directly to the Encounter.participant.type, which uses an extensible binding. You may use your own codes but it is recommended to use codes drawn from the FHIR Encounter Participant Type ValueSet.

27.10.8.2Field ROL-4 (Role Person)

This field must contain at least ((ROL-4.1 and ROL-4.9.1) or (ROL-4.2.1 and ROL-4.3)). In other words, the role must contain at least an identifier or a name, although it is better if both are present.

If an identifier is present, the role will be mapped to a standalone Practitioner resource. If only a name is present, the role will be mapped to a contained resource instead.

27.10.8.3Field ROL-12 (Phone/Telecom List)

ROL-12.2 (Telecom Use) will be assumed to be WPN (Work) if not present.

Note that this field is an XTN Data Type.

27.10.9.1Field DG1-1 (Set ID)

If running with Use DG1 segment id for condition.identifier.value setting enabled, the DG1-1 field must be populated, and failure to do so will result in an error.

27.10.9.2Field DG1-3 (Diagnosis Code)

If at least both DG1-3.1 and DG1-3.3 are populated, an appropriate Coding will be created within Condition.code of a Condition resource that is referenced by Encounter.diagnosis.

If DG1-3.3 is not populated, the code or display (as available) will be stored in Condition.code.text.

This field can be overloaded such that DG1-3.7 and DG1-3.8 can be used to create an extension within an Encounter instead of a Condition. This is convenient when an inbound feed includes Diagnosis Related Group information in a DG1 segment.

27.10.9.3Field DG1-4 (Diagnosis Description)

This field is only mapped if DG1-3-2 (Diagnosis Code Text) is not present.

27.10.9.4Field DG1-5 (Diagnosis Date/Time)

The value of DG1-5 will be mapped to Condition.recordedDate.

Note that this field has a DSTU3 mode mapping.

27.10.9.5Field DG1-6 (Diagnosis Type)

If this field is not populated, the diagnosis will be mapped to Encounter.reason instead of a Condition resource. This is an imprecise mapping as Encounter.diagnosis could also be used; however, this requires a reference to a separate resource and there is insufficient information in most HL7 v2.x messages to adequately identify a standalone Condition resource.

If this field is populated, its value will be mapped to Encounter.diagnosis.role, and the diagnosis will be mapped to a Condition resource that is referenced by Encounter.diagnosis.

Note that Smile CDR supports this field as both IS (v2.5) and CWE (v2.8) datatypes.

27.10.9.6Field DG1-15 (Diagnosis Priority)

If this field is populated, its value will be mapped to Encounter.diagnosis.rank. Ideally, multiple DG1 segments in a given message should appear in order, grouped by diagnosis type, and starting with 1.

27.10.9.7Field DG1-16 (Diagnosing Clinician)

If this field is populated, its value will be mapped to a Practitioner resource that is referenced by Condition.asserter.

27.10.9.8Field DG1-20 (Diagnosis Identifier)

If DG1-20.1 is populated with a unique identifier and DG1-20.2 is populated with a namespace or system, this field can be used as an identifier for a standalone Condition resource. Note that DG-1-6 needs to be populated in order for the Condition resource to be created.

27.10.9.9Converting CE Fields to FHIR Extensions

The following CE fields (Coded Elements) are converted into FHIR-equivalent extensions with optional nested extensions:

  • DG1-3 (Diagnosis Code)

Please note: A given CE field will only be converted if all three of the following are populated:

  • Identifier in first component CE.1;
  • Name of Coding System in third component CE.3; and
  • Extension URL in first extra component CE.7.

Optionally, the following may be included:

  • Text in second component CE.2; and/or
  • Nested Extension URL in second extra component CE.8.

A new extension is created for each CE field.

A Mapper Bean Type can be implemented to ensure these components are appropriately populated for an incoming HL7 v2.x feed prior to converting its messages to FHIR.

If PR1-1 is populated, the value will be stored within a procedure-sequence extension at the root of the resulting Procedure resource.

27.10.10.2Field PR1-3 (Procedure Code)

If at least both PR1-3.1 and PR1-3.3 are populated, an appropriate Coding will be created within Procedure.code of a Procedure resource.

27.10.10.3Field PR1-5 (Procedure Date/Time)

The field PR1-5 is a DTM datatype. If DTM.1 is populated, its value will be mapped to Procedure.performedDateTime.

27.10.10.4Field PR1-19 (Procedure Identifier)

If PR1-19.1 is populated with a unique identifier and PR1-19.2 is populated with a namespace or system, this field can be used as an identifier for a standalone Procedure resource. The identifier will be formed by the concatenation of PR1-19.1 (unique identifier) and PR1-3.1 (Code) with a hyphen in between them (e.g. 12345-6789-2W53XYZ). However, there will be no resulting Procedure if these fields are not populated.

If PR1-5 is populated, the unique identifier in PR1-19.1 will be concatenated with the value of both PR1-3.1 and PR1-5 to be the final identifier (e.g. 12345-6789-2W53XYZ-200101010700-0400).

27.10.15.1ORC Segments and ServiceRequest Resources

Many of the ORC segment fields map to fields in the ServiceRequest resource, however there is no meaningful mapping for ServiceRequest.intent. Because ServiceRequest.intent is a required field, a default RequestIntent of proposal is used.

Note that this field has a DSTU3 mode mapping.

27.10.15.2Field ORC-1 (Order Control)

This field is required to be present for RDE (Pharmacy Order) messages but optional for ORU (Result) messages.

If this field is populated with a value of NW (New Order), the order is considered to be new – and a new DiagnosticRequest resource will be created.

27.10.15.3Field ORC-2 (Placer Order Number)

This field is conditionally required.

When mapping an ORM_O01 message, this field must contain a value that will be treated as the primary identifier for the resulting order resource (i.e. ProcedureRequest or ServiceRequest depending on the version of FHIR being targeted).

When mapping an ORU_R01 message, this may contain a value that will be treated as the primary identifier for the resulting order resource (i.e. ProcedureRequest or ServiceRequest depending on the version of FHIR being targeted). If ORC-2 is not populated then processing will not result in a ProcedureRequest or ServiceRequest.

When mapping an RDE_O11 message, this field must contain a value that will be treated as the primary identifier for the resulting order resource (i.e. MedicationRequest).

When mapping an VXU_V04 message, this field must contain a value that will be treated as the primary identifier for the resulting resource (i.e. Immunization).

Identifiers in this field must be globally unique, and must never be reused.

27.10.15.4Field ORC-5 (Order Status)

The ORC-5 (Order Status) field is used to infer ServiceRequest.status. If an unknown value is provided, a default RequestStatus of Unknown will be used.

Note that this field has a DSTU3 mode mapping.

27.10.15.5Field ORC-7.4 (Start Date/Time)

For FHIR R3, this field is mapped to ProcedureRequest.occurrenceDateTime.

For FHIR R4+, this field is mapped to ServiceRequest.occurrenceDateTime.

27.10.16.1Field OBR-2 (Placer Order Number)

This field should generally contain at least one repetition, and the first repetition will be treated as the primary identifier for the DiagnosticReport (Order) resource associated with the message being processed.

Note that if no value is present for this field, a value must be provided in OBR-3 (Filler Order Number).

Identifiers in this field must be globally unique, and must never be reused.

Note that the hl7v2_fhir_mapper_obr.use_obr2_placer_order_number_as_primary configuration property can be used to ensure OBR-2 is used as the primary identifier for the DiagnosticReport. At least one of OBR-2 or OBR-3 must be enabled for use as the primary identifier. It is also acceptable to select both, in which case updates will affect any existing DiagnosticReport that has either identifier.

27.10.16.2Field OBR-3 (Filler Order Number)

If OBR-2 does not contain a value then this field must contain a value, and the value provided in this field will be used as the primary identifier for the DiagnosticReport.

Note that the hl7v2_fhir_mapper_obr.use_obr3_filler_order_number_as_primary configuration property can be used to ensure OBR-3 is used as the primary identifier for the DiagnosticReport. At least one of OBR-2 or OBR-3 must be enabled for use as the primary identifier. It is also acceptable to select both, in which case updates will affect any existing DiagnosticReport that has either identifier.

27.10.16.3Field OBR-4 (Universal Service Identifier)

For R3, this field is mapped to both ProcedureRequest.code and DiagnosticReport.code in FHIR.

For R4+, this field is mapped to both ServiceRequest.code and DiagnosticReport.code in FHIR.

27.10.16.4Field OBR-7 (Observation Date/Time)

This field will be treated as the Observation.effective[x] (Effective Time) of the observation. If OBR-8 is not present, the time is treated as a single point in time. If OBR-8 is present, the time is treated as a period.

27.10.16.5Field OBR-22 (Status Change Time)

This field is treated as the DiagnosticReport.issued value when mapping to FHIR.

27.10.16.6Field OBR-24 (Diagnostic Service Section ID)

This field is treated as the DiagnosticReport.category value when mapping to FHIR.

27.10.16.7Field OBR-27 (Quantity / Timing)

This field is mapped only for OBR-27.6 (Priority). For FHIR R3, this field is mapped to ProcedureRequest.priority in cases where the ProcedureRequest resource is being mapped. This field must contain a valid FHIR priority value from the following list:

  • routine

27.10.17.1Field OBX-5 (Value)

OBX segments may have any of the following value types:

27.10.17.1.1OBX-5 Textual Observations (ST, TX, FT)

It is common practice in HL7 v2.x messaging to transmit multiline textual reports using OBX segments with a textual datatype (ST, FT, TX), and then place each line of the report in either a repetition of OBX-5 or in repetitions of the OBX segment itself with each line placed in OBX-5.

In either of these cases, these will be converted to a single FHIR Observation resource with the lines joined into a single string.

Note that in the case of multiple OBX segments being used to denote repeating lines, the lines will only be joined into a single report if the OBX-3 field contains the same code, and no NTE segments are present between OBX repetitions.

27.10.17.1.2OBX-5 Numeric Observations (NM)

Numeric HL7 v2.x observations will be converted into FHIR Observation resources with a value type of Quantity.

Although the HL7 v2.x specification defines the NM datatype as containing only whole and non-whole numbers, Smile CDR will also accept several common comparators in this field. Acceptable values include:

  • Whole numbers, e.g. 15
  • Non-whole numbers with arbitrary precision, e.g. 15.300
  • Negative numbers, e.g. -22.3
  • Numbers with greater-than, greater-or-equal, less-than, or less-or-equal comparator, e.g. >15.3, <15.3, >=15.3, <=15.3
  • Comparator but no number, e.g. >

All of the above values will be converted into FHIR Quantity when processing inbound HL7 v2.x messages.

27.10.17.1.3OBX-5 Structured Numeric (SN)

The FHIR Range, Ratio, and Quantity (with comparator) datatypes will be mapped to the HL7 v2.x SN datatype.

Quantity With Comparator

FHIR Quantities often do not have a comparator (e.g. < or >=). These values will be mapped to/from the HL7 v2.x NM (numeric) datatype. However, a Quantity with a comparator will be mapped to/from the HL7 v2.x SN (structured numeric) datatype.

The following is an example of a Quantity with a comparator in a FHIR Observation resource.

"valueQuantity": {
  "value": 1.002,
  "comparator": ">",
  "unit": "mg",
  "system": "http://unitsofmeasure.org",
  "code": "mg"
}

This range corresponds to the following (partial) OBX segment: OBX|1|SN|||>^1.002|mg^mg^http://unitsofmeasure.org|

Ranges

The following is an example of a Range in a FHIR Observation resource.

"valueRange": {
  "low": {
    "value": 0.01,
    "system": "http://unitsofmeasure.org",
    "unit": "mg"
    "code": "mg"
  },
  "high": {
    "value": 0.02,
    "system": "http://unitsofmeasure.org",
    "unit": "mg"
    "code": "mg"
  }
}

This range corresponds to the following (partial) OBX segment: OBX|1|SN|||^0.01^-^0.02|mg^mg^http://unitsofmeasure.org|

Ratios

The following is an example of a Ratio in a FHIR Observation resource.

"valueRatio": {
  "numerator": {
    "value": 0.01,
    "system": "http://unitsofmeasure.org",
    "unit": "mg"
    "code": "mg"
  },
  "denominator": {
    "value": 0.02
    "system": "http://unitsofmeasure.org",
    "unit": "mg"
    "code": "mg"
  }
}

This ratio corresponds to the following (partial) OBX segment: OBX|1|SN|||^0.01^:^0.02|mg^^http://unitsofmeasure.org|

27.10.17.1.4OBX-5 Encapsulated / Binary Observations (ED)

The ED datatype can be used in OBX-5 to communicate a binary attachment. In this case, Smile CDR converters will assume that this data represents the presented form of the report.

When converting this type, the OBX segment will be handled differently from other datatypes. The binary data will be added to DiagnosticReport.presentedForm and no Observation resource will be generated for the OBX segment with the ED data.

Note that because no Observation resource is created, other fields in the OBX segment containing the ED data will be ignored. Any NTE segments associated with the individual OBX segment will also be ignored.

When converting an ED data value, OBX-5 must contain the following components:

The following example shows an OBX segment containing an ED value referencing a gif image: OBX||ED|||^^GIF^Base64^SHD7e743ydG [..base64 content trimmed..]

27.10.17.1.5OBX-5 Boolean Observations

The HL7 v2.x standard does not have a datatype for the concept of boolean. When converting a FHIR Resource into an HL7 v2.x segment, if a FHIR Boolean datatype is found it will be converted into a ST (String) datatype with a value of true or false.

27.10.17.2Field OBX-7 (Reference Range)

Values for this field may take one of the following forms:

  • Numeric range (e.g. 0.2-2.2) – if the value of this field is two numbers with a - between them, the value is taken to be a numeric range, and the values are assumed to be inclusive. If the value of OBX-5 is of a datatype that has units, the units are assumed to be the same.
  • String (anything else) – any other value that is present is treated as a freetext string range, and is not machine processable.

27.10.17.3Field OBX-11 (Observation Status)

If this field is not present, when mapping OBX segments to Observation resources, the Observation.status field value will be mapped from the OBR-25 (Result Status) fields by default. If this field is present, the value in OBX-11 will be used instead.

27.10.17.4Field OBX-14 (Effective Time)

If this field is not present, when mapping OBX segments to Observation resources, the Observation.effective[x] field value will be mapped from the OBR-7 and OBR-8 fields by default. If this field is present, the value in OBX-14 will be used instead.

27.10.17.5Field OBX-15 (Producer's ID)

If both OBX-15.1 and OBX-15.3 are populated, they will constitute Organization.identifier.value and Organization.identifier.system respectively for the Organization to be referenced in Observation.performer.

27.10.17.6Field OBX-19 (Date/Time of Analysis)

This field is mapped to Observation.issued. This mapping is not completely semantically identical, but it is still considered a useful mapping.

27.10.17.7ADT OBX Segments

Some ADT messaging includes OBX segments. Observation resources derived from ADT OBX segments are handled slightly differently because in practice such observations rarely include a unique business identifier. For this reason, ADT OBX segments only result in an Observation resource when all of the following are present:

  • OBX-3.1 (Observation Identifier Code), which maps to Observation.code.coding[0].code
  • OBX-3.3 (Observation Identifier System), which maps to Observation.code.coding[0].system
  • OBX-14 (Observation DateTime), which maps to Observation.effectiveDateTime

The HL7 v2.x inbound processor will use these values and a reference to the Patient to perform a conditional update operation. For example:

"request": {
  "method": "PUT",
  "url": "Observation?subject=Patient/123&code=http://loinc.org|8302-2&date=2021-07-03"
}

In practice, most ADT messages only provide precision to the day in OBX-14 (e.g. 20210703). This means an observation for a given code can be captured only once per patient per day. If multiple measurements are taken in a day, only the most recent will persist as the same Observation resource gets versioned.

Where a given message results in an Encounter resource derived from PV1, this means an observation for a given code can be captured only once per patient per day per visit. This accounts for multiple measurements taken in a day so long as they are treated as discrete encounters. In such a case, the HL7 v2.x inbound processor will use the above values, a reference to the Patient, and a reference to the Encounter to perform a conditional update operation. For example:

"request": {
  "method": "PUT",
  "url": "Observation?subject=Patient/123&code=http://loinc.org|8302-2&date=2021-07-03&encounter=Encounter/456"
}

Naturally, the greater the precision of OBX-14, the better. For example, two measurements for the same code and patient taken 12 hours apart at 20210703093042 (or 2021-07-03T09:30:42-04:00) and 20210703213042 (or 2021-07-03T21:30:42-04:00) will result in two discrete Observation resources regardless of the day or Encounter.

Many of the FT1 segment fields map to fields in the ChargeItem resource, however there is no meaningful mapping for ChargeItem.status. Because ChargeItem.status is a required field, a default ChargeItemStatus of Unknown is used.

Note that this field has a DSTU3 mode mapping.

27.10.20.2Field FT1-2: Transaction ID

The HL7 v2.x specification specifies that the transaction ID field is of type ST (string), and does not allow for a naming system to be specified. This field is used to generate the ChargeItem.identifier field when mapping from HL7 v2.x to FHIR, so a system is needed.

As a result, Smile CDR expects an additional component in this field. A valid value might be:

FT1|12345^http://example.com/charge_items

27.10.20.3Field FT1-6: Transaction Type

This field does not have an obvious mapping in the ChargeItem resource model, so it is mapped to an extension in the ChargeItem resource with a value type of CodeableConcept and a URL of:

https://smilecdr.com/fhir/ns/StructureDefinition/chargeitem-type

27.10.20.4Field FT1-16: Location

This field does not have an obvious mapping in the ChargeItem resource model, so it is mapped to an extension in the ChargeItem resource with a value type of Reference and a URL of:

https://smilecdr.com/fhir/ns/StructureDefinition/chargeitem-location

27.10.20.5Field FT1-20: Performed By

This field does not have an obvious mapping in the ChargeItem resource model, so it is mapped to an extension in the ChargeItem resource with a value type of Reference and a URL of:

https://smilecdr.com/fhir/ns/StructureDefinition/chargeitem-performed-by

27.10.20.6Field FT1-21: Ordered By

This field does not have an obvious mapping in the ChargeItem resource model, so it is mapped to an extension in the ChargeItem resource with a value type of Reference and a URL of:

27.10.21.1Field RXA-2: Administration Sub-ID Counter

27.10.21.1.1RXA-2 for Medication Domain

This field is used to build a unique and consistent business identifier for the mapped MedicationAdministration resource. This identifier is created using the system and value in ORC-2.2 and ORC-2.1 respectively, with a concatenation of [ORC-2.1]-[RXA-2] used to populate the identifier's value. As a result, MedicationAdministration.identifier.system will be populated with the same value as the corresponding MedicationRequest.identifier.system.

When property Use ORC-3 as Primary Identifier is enabled, this identifier is created using the system and value in ORC-3.2 and ORC-3.1 respectively instead of ORC-2.

Alternatively, RXA-2 can be overloaded to declare a different identifier system. If the first extra component of RXA-2 is populated, its value will be stored in MedicationAdministration.identifier.system.

27.10.21.1.2RXA-2 for Immunization Domain

This field is not used when processing immunization messages.

27.10.21.2Field RXA-4: Date/Time End of Administration

27.10.21.4Field RXA-12: Administered Time (Per Unit)

27.10.21.4.1RXA-12 for Medication Domain

This field is mapped to MedicationAdministration.dosage.rateRatio.denominator.unit. A value of 1 is mapped to MedicationAdministration.dosage.rateRatio.denominator.value. The numerator is populated using the values of RXA-6 (Administered Amount) and RXA-7 (Administered Units).

27.10.21.4.2RXA-12 for Immunization Domain

This field is not used when processing immunization messages.

27.10.21.5Field RXA-17

When populated, this field is mapped to an organization corresponding to the manufacturer of the immunization. When only a name (RXA-17.2) is supplied, the organization is created as a contained resource on the existing immunization and used as a reference for Immunization.manufacturer. When RXA-17.1 is populated, it is used as the manufacturer Organization.identifier.value. It MUST be accompanied by RXA-17.3, which is used as Organization.identifier.system. If an organization with this identifier is found to already exist, it will be updated.

Note that this field has a DSTU3 mode mapping.

27.10.24.1Field RXE-1 (Quantity Timing)

This field is used only to supply a text version of the timing information for this order. If either of the components RXE-1.2.1 (Repeat Pattern) and RXE-1.2.2 (Repeat Interval) are populated, they will be mapped as a textual version of the timing string. If both are populated, they will be joined as [pattern] @ [interval].

27.10.24.2Field RXE-1.4 (Start Date/Time) and Field RXE-1.5 (End Date/Time)

If populated, these will be treated as the start and end dates that the patient should be taking this medication.

27.10.24.3Field RXE-2 (Give Code)

This field contains the identifier of the actual medication being ordered. It must contain a value.

If this field contains only a display value (CE.2) the medication will be stored as a simple text string. If this field contains a code (CE.1 and CE.3) then a Medication resource will be stored using the given code as the primary identifier.

If CE.9 (Original Text) is populated, it will be stored in Medication.code.text. Note that this is an extra component in HL7 v2.5.1.

Note that if any RXC (Pharmacy Component) segments are found, the components will be added to this Medication as ingredients.

27.10.24.4Field RXE-7 (Administration Instructions)

For repetitions where RXE-7.1 and RXE-7.3 are both populated, this field is mapped to MedicationRequest.dosageInstruction.patientInstruction. For repetitions where only RXE-7.2 is populated, this field is mapped to MedicationRequest.dosageInstruction.text.

27.10.24.5Field RXE-23 (Give Rate Amount) and Field RXE-24 (Give Rate Units)

If populated, these fields will be mapped to MedicationRequest.dosagaInstruction.rate[x]. They will be mapped to one of rateQuantity, rateRange, or rateRatio as appropriate.

27.10.29.1Fields SCH-1 and SCH-2 (Placer Appointment ID and Filler Appointment ID)

SCH segments are mapped to FHIR Appointment resources, with SCH-1 being used as an appointment's primary identifier. If populated, SCH-2 is added as a secondary appointment identifier.

27.10.29.2Field SCH-6 (Event Reason)

This field is required by the V2 spec and mapped to Appointment.serviceType. The default CodeSystem will provide examples of the types of concepts intended to be included. In the case of a code from this CodeSystem, only SCH-6.1 need be populated. However, the service type code and display can also be user-defined and override the information in the default CodeSystem under the following cases:

  • When populated service type code and display do not match with the default CodeSystem
  • When populated service type code is not included in the default CodeSystem
  • When the field SCH-6.3 (name of custom code system) populated

If user-defined, Smile will map the SCH-6.1 to an instance of Appoinment.serviceType.coding.code, and SCH-6.2 to the corresponding Appoinment.serviceType.coding.display.

27.10.29.3Field SCH-7 (Appointment Reason)

If populated, this field is mapped to Appointment.reasonCode. The V2 spec mandates that the value of this field should come from Table 0276. While this table is user-defined, Smile expects the suggested values given there, and maps them to appropriate SNOMED codes, which are preferred bindings for Appointment.reasonCode in FHIR. In the case that such a code is not used but SCH-7.1 and SCH-7.2 are both present, Smile sets Appointment.reasonCode.code using the former and Appointment.reasonCode.display using the latter. In the absence of one or the other (or both), a code of "UNKNOWN" with a display of "Unknown" is set.

27.10.29.4Fields SCH-9 and SCH-10 (Appointment Duration and Appointment Duration Units)

The first of these fields is mapped to Appointment.minutesDuration, and as such, is treated as having a value of minutes regardless of the value of SCH-10. If you wish to use other units of time besides this, others can be accounted for using a conversion script, or one could rely only on start and end to give a temporal description of the resulting appointment.

27.10.29.5Field SCH-11 (Appointment Timing Quantity)

If populated, SCH-11.4.1 is mapped to Appointment.start, and SCH-11.5.1 to Appointment.end.

27.10.29.6Fields SCH-16 and SCH-20 (Filler Contact Person and Enterer Contact Person)

These fields are required for the purposes of ensuring an auditable trail of people in the creation and fulfillment of appointments. Both are added to the Appointment as participants with type PART. Additionally, both are mapped to Practitioner resources.

27.10.30Segment: RGS (Resource Group Segment)

 
Seq / Field Opt Card DT Len Table Description Sample
RGS-1 O 0..1 SI Set ID - RGS 1

Note that the RGS segment is not presently mapped to FHIR; however, it is required for messages using the SIU_S12 structure.

27.10.31Segment: AIL (Location Resource)

 
Seq / Field Opt Card DT Len Table Description Sample
AIL-1 R 1..1 SI Set ID - AIL 1234
AIL-3 R 1..* PL Location Resource ID
AIL-4.1 R 0..1 CWE 0305 Location Type - AIL C (clinic)

27.10.31.1Field AIL-3 (Location Resource ID)

This field, which is required, is mapped in the same way that PV1-3 is, and is tied to the same configuration option - to either leave it as a single location, or map it to up to three distinct locations.

27.10.31.2Field AIL-4 (Location Type - AIL)

If populated, this field sets Location.type for each of the Location resources created in the mapping of an AIL segment. As mentioned above, the mapping expects values from V2 table 0305, and maps to the closest match in FHIR. If not populated and AIL-4.1 and AIL-4.2 are both mapped, the resultant Location.type is set using these two values. If either is not set, a Coding with no system, no code, and a display of "Unknown" is used.

Note that this field has a DSTU3 mode mapping.

27.10.31.3Field AIL-12 (Filler Status Code)

One might expect AIL-12 to map to Location.status, however, it is not in the scope of Location resources to track their bookings. Instead Location.status is set to active.

27.10.32Segment: AIP (Personnel Resource)

 
Seq / Field Opt Card DT Len Table Description Sample

AIP-4 C 0..1 CWE Resource Type ADM (admitter)

27.10.32.1Field AIP-3 (Personnel Resource ID)

This field is required, and is mapped to a Practitioner resource, as well as being added as an Appointment.participant on the appointment resulting from an SCH segment transformation as part of SIU message handling. The participant entry is marked as required and accepted.

27.10.32.2Field AIP-4 (Resource Type)

This field technically maps to Table 0182, but as it is user-defined, and there are no suggested values, Smile expects appropriate Encounter Partiticpant Types to set Appointment.participant.type. If no Encounter Partiticpant Type is provided, this defaults to PART. Mapping from your own codes to these can be done using a pre-convert script.

27.10.32.3AIP-12 (Filler Status Code)

The Practitioner resource has no status field, so this is not mapped to anything. Note again that there are FHIR workflow resources for tracking a practitioner's schedule.

27.10.33Segment: ZXT (Non-Standard)

 

One or more of this optional non-standard segment can be appended to any message structure.

Seq / Field Opt Card DT Len Table Description Sample
ZXT-2 R 1..1 ID 0125 Value Type CWE
ZXT-3 R 1..1 * Value ACES^Aces!^http://acme.org/codes
ZXT-4 R 1..1 ST Path Encounter.extension('http://acme.org/extension').valueCoding

27.10.33.1Field ZXT-2 (Value Type)

This field identifies the value type in ZXT-3.

27.10.33.2Field ZXT-3 (Value)

ZXT segments may have any of the following value types:

If there is a value type that you would like to see supported, let us know!

27.10.33.2.1ZXT-3 Coded Elements (CE)

A coded element corresponds to a fixed set of codes with required binding. For example in FHIR R3, ProcedureRequest.intent can only be assigned a code defined in code system http://hl7.org/fhir/request-intent. A ZXT segment can be used to populate such a field as follows: ZXT||CE|filler-order|ProcedureRequest.intent

If targeting FHIR R4+, the equivalent ZXT segment would appear as follows: ZXT||CE|filler-order|ServiceRequest.intent

In such cases, only CE.1 is necessary. The display in CE.2 and the code system in CE.3 will not be evaluated; instead these will be handled automatically based on the path provided.

Note that Smile CDR does not presently validate the value in ZXT-3 in light of the path provided in ZXT-4.

27.10.33.2.2ZXT-3 Coded with Exceptions (CWE)

A coded value with exceptions is stored as either a Coding or CodeableConcept. This depends on the path declared in ZXT-4.

CWE.1 provides the code, CWE.2 provides the display, and CWE.3 provides the code system. For example: ZXT||CWE|ACES^Aces!^http://acme.org/codes|Encounter.extension('http://acme.org/extension').valueCoding

This will result in the following:

"extension": [
	{
		"url": "http://acme.org/extension",
		"valueCoding": {
			"system": "http://acme.org/codes",
			"code": "ACES",
			"display": "Aces!"
		}
	}
],

Alternatively: ZXT||CWE|ACES^Aces!^http://acme.org/codes|Encounter.extension('http://acme.org/extension').valueCodeableConcept
ZXT||CWE|DEUCES^Deuces!^http://acme.org/codes|Encounter.extension('http://acme.org/extension').valueCodeableConcept

These will result in the following:

"extension": [
	{
		"url": "http://acme.org/extension",
		"valueCodeableConcept": {
			"coding": [
				{
					"system": "http://acme.org/codes",
					"code": "ACES",
					"display": "Aces!"
				},
				{
					"system": "http://acme.org/codes",
					"code": "DEUCES",
					"display": "Deuces!"
				}
			]
		}
	}
],

27.10.33.2.3ZXT-3 Numeric Values (NM)

A numeric value is stored as either an integer or decimal. This depends on the path declared in ZXT-4.

For example: ZXT||NM|3|Patient.multipleBirthInteger

This will result in the following:

"multipleBirthInteger": 3,

Alternatively: ZXT||NM|3|Encounter.extension('http://acme.org/extension').valueInteger

This will result in the following:

"extension": [
  {
    "url": "http://acme.org/extension",
    "valueInteger": 3
  }
],

Alternatively: ZXT||NM|3.3|Encounter.extension('http://acme.org/extension').valueDecimal

This will result in the following:

"extension": [
  {
    "url": "http://acme.org/extension",
    "valueDecimal": 3.3
  }
],

27.10.33.2.4ZXT-3 Textual Values (ST)

A textual value is stored as either a string or boolean. This depends on the path declared in ZXT-4.

For example: ZXT||ST|Aces|Encounter.extension('http://acme.org/extension').valueString

This will result in the following:

"extension": [
  {
    "url": "http://acme.org/extension",
    "valueString": "Aces!"
  }
],

Alternatively: ZXT||ST|true|Encounter.extension('http://acme.org/extension').valueBoolean

This will result in the following:

"extension": [
  {
    "url": "http://acme.org/extension",
    "valueBoolean": true
  }
],

This also applies where a declared path implies a specific datatype, for example: ZXT||ST|true|Patient.active

For boolean values, ZXT-3 must be either true or false.

27.10.33.3Field ZXT-4 (Path)

This field identifies the path for the resulting value. Its value is case-sensitive.

This is most useful for populating extensions but it is not limited to populating extensions. For example, a ZXT segment could be used to populate Patient.name.family; however, this could overwrite existing values populated while processing the PID segment. This is because ZXT segments are always processed last. As such, the general purpose for ZXT segments is to populate fields and extensions in FHIR that the inbound HL7 v2.x transaction processor doesn't already handle.

Values like Patient.extension('http://acme.org/extension').valueString and Encounter.extension('http://acme.org/extension').valueString will result in an extension added to the base of the resource whereas a path such as Encounter.class.extension('http://acme.org/extension').valueString will result in an extension added to the Encounter's class element.

Nested extensions can be declared as follows: Encounter.extension('http://acme.org/extension').extension('http://acme.org/nestedExtension').valueString

Modifier extensions can also be declared: Encounter.modifierExtension('http://acme.org/extension').valueString

27.10.34A Note about Extra Components

 

The concept of extra components comes from HAPI. These are non-standard components appended to a field, component, or sub-component in a message, which can be written to and read from using the HAPI HL7 v2.x parser at runtime. Where no suitable component exists, Smile CDR sometimes uses extra components to facilitate translation between HL7 v2.x and FHIR.

A Mapper Bean Type can be implemented to work with extra components within an incoming HL7 v2.x feed prior to converting its messages to FHIR.

27.10.35A Note about the XTN Data Type

 

The XTN.3 (Telecommunication Equipment Type) field is used to infer ContactPoint.system. If an unknown Telecommunication Equipment Type is provided, a default ContactPointSystem of Other is used.

Note that this field has a DSTU3 mode mapping.

27.10.36A Note about DSTU3 Mode Mappings

 

The table below shows the behaviour from the DSTU3 FHIR version cycle which is used when the HL7 v2.x Listening Endpoint module declares a DSTU3 FHIR Storage module dependency.

Mapped Information Segment Behaviour
Patient Mother's Maiden Name PID-6 Mapped as a HumanName extension to the Patient resource using the following information:
  • PID-6.1.1 (Family Name)
  • PID-6.2 (Given Name)
  • PID-6.3 (Middle Name)
  • PID-6.4 (Suffix)
  • PID-6.5 (Prefix)
  • PID-6.6 (Degree)
  • PID-6.7 (Name Type)
Patient Account Status PV1-41 Not mapped
ChargeItem Status FT1 Not mapped
Encounter Status MSH-9 If a value cannot be inferred from MSH-9.2, Encounter.status remains null
Encounter Class PV1-2 If a value cannot be inferred from PV1-2, Encounter.class remains null
Condition Asserted Date DG1-5 Mapped to Condition.assertedDate, which is Condition.recordedDate in later versions of FHIR
ServiceRequest Status ORC-5 If a value cannot be inferred from ORC-5, ServiceRequest.status remains null
ServiceRequest Intent ORC Not mapped
ContactPoint System Multiple If a value cannot be inferred from the XTN.3 datatype, ContactPoint.system remains null
MessageHeader Source MSH-3 Not mapped
MessageHeader Destination Endpoint MSH-5 Not mapped
MessageHeader Destination Name MSH-5 Mapped MSH-5.1 to MessageHeader.destination.name
AllergyIntolerance Clinical Status IAM-17 If a value cannot be inferred from IAM-17, AllergyIntolerance.clinicalStatus remains null
AllergyIntolerance Verification Status IAM-17 If a value cannot be inferred from IAM-17, AllergyIntolerance.verificationStatus remains null
Patient Managing Organization ID System MSH-4 Mapped first extra component of MSH-4 to Patient.managingOrganization.identifier.system
Patient Managing Organization ID Value MSH-4 Mapped MSH-4.1 to Patient.managingOrganization.identifier.value
Observation Performing Organization ID System MSH-4 Mapped first extra component of MSH-4 to Observation.partOf.identifier.system
Observation Performing Organization ID Value MSH-4 Mapped MSH-4.1 to Observation.partOf.identifier.value
Location Type AIL-4 If a value cannot be inferred from AIL-4:
  • Location.type.coding.system is set to the system specified by Table 0305
  • Location.type.coding.code is set to U
  • Location.type.coding.display is set to Unknown
Immunization Manufacturer RXA-17 When only RXA-17.2 (name) is supplied, a new organization is created as a contained resource on the existing immunization. The Immunization.manufacturer field remains null
MessageHeader Event MSH-9 If a value cannot be inferred from MSH-9.2, MessageHeader.event remains null
MessageHeader Required Fields (Event and Source) MSH These fields (MSH-9, MSH-3) will only be mapped if the Create Message Header for Each Message property is enabled
