9.4 Resource FamilyMemberHistory - Content

Patient Care icon Work Group Maturity Level : 2   Trial Use Security Category : Patient Compartments : Patient

Significant health conditions for a person related to the patient relevant in the context of care for the patient.

9.4.1 Scope and Usage

FamilyMemberHistory is one of the event resources in the FHIR workflow specification.

This resource records significant health conditions for a particular individual related to the subject. This information can be known to different levels of accuracy. Sometimes the exact condition ('asthma') is known, and sometimes it is less precise ('some sort of cancer'). Equally, sometimes the person can be identified ('my aunt Agatha') and sometimes all that is known is that the person was an uncle.

This resource represents a simple structure used to capture an 'elementary' family history for a particular family member. However, it can also be the basis for capturing a more rigorous history useful for genetic and other analysis - refer to the Genetic Pedigree profile for an example.

The entire family history for an individual can be represented by combining references to FamilyMemberHistory instances into a List resource instance.

FamilyMemberHistory ( DomainResource ) 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 identifier : Identifier [0..*] 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 instantiatesCanonical : canonical [0..*] « PlanDefinition | Questionnaire | ActivityDefinition | Measure | OperationDefinition » 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 instantiatesUri : uri [0..*] A code specifying the status of the record of the family history of a specific family member (this element modifies the meaning of other elements) status : code [1..1] « null (Strength=Required) FamilyHistoryStatus ! » Describes why the family member's history is not available dataAbsentReason : CodeableConcept [0..1] « null (Strength=Example) FamilyHistoryAbsentReason ?? » The person who this history concerns patient : Reference [1..1] « Patient » The date (and possibly time) when the family member history was recorded or last updated date : dateTime [0..1] This will either be a name or a description; e.g. "Aunt Susan", "my cousin with the red hair" name : string [0..1] The type of relationship this person has to the patient (father, mother, brother etc.) relationship : CodeableConcept [1..1] « null (Strength=Example) FamilyMember ?? » The birth sex of the family member sex : CodeableConcept [0..1] « null (Strength=Extensible) AdministrativeGender + » The actual or approximate date of birth of the relative born[x] : Element DataType [0..1] « Period | date | string » « This element has or is affected by some invariants C » The age of the relative at the time the family member history is recorded age[x] : Element DataType [0..1] « Age | Range | string » « This element has or is affected by some invariants C » If true, indicates that the age value specified is an estimated value estimatedAge : boolean [0..1] « This element has or is affected by some invariants C » Deceased flag or the actual or approximate age of the relative at the time of death for the family member history record deceased[x] : Element DataType [0..1] « boolean | Age | Range | date | string » « This element has or is affected by some invariants C » Describes why the family member history occurred in coded or textual form reasonCode : CodeableConcept [0..*] « null (Strength=Example) SNOMEDCTClinicalFindings ?? » form, or Indicates a Condition, Observation, AllergyIntolerance, or QuestionnaireResponse that justifies this family member history event reasonReference reason : Reference CodeableReference [0..*] « Condition | Observation | AllergyIntolerance | QuestionnaireResponse | DiagnosticReport | DocumentReference ; null (Strength=Example) SNOMEDCTClinicalFindings ?? » 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 note : Annotation [0..*] Participant Distinguishes the type of involvement of the actor in the activities related to the family member history function : CodeableConcept [0..1] « null (Strength=Extensible) ParticipationRoleType + » Indicates who or what participated in the activities related to the family member history actor : Reference [1..1] « Practitioner | PractitionerRole | Patient | RelatedPerson | Device | Organization | CareTeam » Condition 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 code : CodeableConcept [1..1] « null (Strength=Example) Condition/Problem/DiagnosisCo... ConditionProblemDiagnosisCodes ?? » Indicates what happened following the condition. If the condition resulted in death, deceased date is captured on the relation outcome : CodeableConcept [0..1] « null (Strength=Example) ConditionOutcomeCodes ?? » This condition contributed to the cause of death of the related person. If contributedToDeath is not populated, then it is unknown contributedToDeath : boolean [0..1] 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 onset[x] : Element DataType [0..1] « Age | Range | Period | string » An area where general notes can be placed about this specific condition note : Annotation [0..*] Procedure The actual procedure specified. Could be a coded procedure or a less specific string depending on how much is known about the procedure and the capabilities of the creating system code : CodeableConcept [1..1] « null (Strength=Example) ProcedureCodesSNOMEDCT ?? » Indicates what happened following the procedure. If the procedure resulted in death, deceased date is captured on the relation outcome : CodeableConcept [0..1] « null (Strength=Example) SNOMEDCTClinicalFindings ?? » This procedure contributed to the cause of death of the related person. If contributedToDeath is not populated, then it is unknown contributedToDeath : boolean [0..1] Estimated or actual date, date-time, period, or age when the procedure was performed. Allows a period to support complex procedures that span more than one date, and also allows for the length of the procedure to be captured performed[x] : DataType [0..1] « Age | Range | Period | string | dateTime » An area where general notes can be placed about this specific procedure note : Annotation [0..*] Indicates who or what participated in the activities related to the family member history and how they were involved participant [0..*] 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 condition [0..*] The significant Procedures (or procedure) that the family member had. This is a repeating section to allow a system to represent more than one procedure per resource, though there is nothing stopping multiple resources - one per procedure procedure [0..*]

9.4.3.1 Terminology Bindings

Path Definition ValueSet Type Reference Documentation
FamilyMemberHistory.status FamilyHistoryStatus Required FamilyHistoryStatus

A code that identifies the status of the family history record.

FamilyMemberHistory.dataAbsentReason FamilyHistoryAbsentReason Example FamilyHistoryAbsentReason

Codes describing the reason why a family member's history is not available.

FamilyMemberHistory.participant.function ParticipationRoleType Extensible

This FHIR value set is comprised of Actor participation Type codes, which can be used to value FHIR agents, actors, and other role elements. The codes are intended to express how the agent participated in some activity. Sometimes refered to the agent functional-role relative to the activity.

FamilyMemberHistory.relationship FamilyMember icon Example FamilyMember

A relationship between two people characterizing their "familial" relationship

FamilyMemberHistory.sex AdministrativeGender Extensible AdministrativeGender

The gender of a person used for administrative purposes.

FamilyMemberHistory.reasonCode FamilyMemberHistory.reason SNOMEDCTClinicalFindings Example SNOMEDCTClinicalFindings

This value set includes all the "Clinical finding" SNOMED CT icon codes - concepts where concept is-a 404684003 (Clinical finding (finding)).

FamilyMemberHistory.condition.code ConditionProblemDiagnosisCodes Example Condition/Problem/DiagnosisCodes

Example value set for Condition/Problem/Diagnosis codes.

FamilyMemberHistory.condition.outcome ConditionOutcomeCodes Example ConditionOutcomeCodes

Example value set for condition outcomes.

FamilyMemberHistory.procedure.code ProcedureCodesSNOMEDCT Example

Procedure Code: All SNOMED CT procedure codes.

FamilyMemberHistory.procedure.outcome SNOMEDCTClinicalFindings Example

This value set includes all the "Clinical finding" SNOMED CT icon codes - concepts where concept is-a 404684003 (Clinical finding (finding)).

9.4.3.2 Constraints

id UniqueKey Level Location Description Expression
fhs-1 img  fhs-1 Rule (base) Can have age[x] or born[x], but not both age.empty() or born.empty()
fhs-2 img  fhs-2 Rule (base) Can only have estimatedAge if age[x] is present age.exists() or estimatedAge.empty()
img  fhs-3 Rule (base) Can have age[x] or deceased[x], but not both age.empty() or deceased.empty()

9.4.3.3 Processing information about the Family Member History

The Family Member History List may contain other than FamilyMemberHistory resources. For example, a full Family History could be a List that might include a mixture of FamilyMemberHistory records as well as Observation records of things like "maternal family history of breast cancer", "number of siblings", "number of female family members with breast cancer" etc.

The List representing a patient's "family history" can include Condition and Observation records that capture "family-history" relevant assertions about the patient themselves that would typically be captured as part of a family history.

9.4.3.4 No Known Patient History, No Known Problems, and Negated Conditions

Not Reviewed, Not Asked

When a sending system does not have family history about any family members or the statement is about family history not yet being asked, then the List resource should be used to indicate the List.emptyReason="notasked".

Reviewed, None Identified for Family

After reasonable investigation that there are no known items for the family member history list, then the List resource should be used to indicate the List.emptyReason="nilknown". The List.emptyReason represents a statement about the full scope of the list (i.e. the patient or patient's agent/guardian has asserted that there are no conditions or significant events for any family members to record).

Reviewed, None Identified No Information Available for a Family Member

When an individual family member's history is not available, FamilyMemberHistory.dataAbsentReason can be used to indicate why that family member's history is not available (e.g. subject unknown).

Reviewed, No Known Problems or Negated Condition for a Family Member

The FamilyMemberHistory.condition.code can be used to capture "No Known Problems" or negated conditions, such as "No history of malignant tumor of breast", for an individual family member.
