The main entity is Patient. https://www.hl7.org/fhir/patient.html

Each patient has a Profile. This is NOT a FHIR entity but our logical object. The profile shows the patient's clinical status.

Vital Signs are part of FHIR Observation (https://www.hl7.org/fhir/observation.html#Observation) We document here: temperature, blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate. Maybe weight too.

Patient Note (Detected Issue)

Patient Notes is another internal entity. It used to show important information about the patient to other members of the team. It wrapped around FHIR object DetectedIssue (https://www.hl7.org/fhir/detectedissue.html)

The wrapper PatientNotes contains the fields which FHIR Object R4 doesn't support:

  • internal vs patient flag
  • Title
  • Images

Care Plan

Care Plan groups relevant activities (https://www.hl7.org/fhir/careplan.html). Every operation must be done in a context of a care plan. Since this is a new concept and the methodology is not clear, every patient has a built in "general" care plan. Main attributes:

  • Name, Desc, Category
  • Start date, end date
  • Goals
