This page is part of the FHIR Specification (v0.0.82: DSTU 1). The current version which supercedes this version is 5.0.0 . For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions . Page versions: R5 R4B R4 R3 R2 Content Examples Formal Definitions Mappings Profiles 6.15.8 Resource ConceptMap - Formal Definitions Formal definitions for the elements in the ConceptMap resource. ConceptMap Definition A statement of relationships from one set of concepts to one or more other concept systems. Control 1..1 ConceptMap.identifier Definition The identifier that is used to identify this concept map when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance (should be globally unique OID, UUID, or URI). Control 0..1 Type string Summary true ConceptMap.version Definition The identifier that is used to identify this version of the concept map when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the profile author manually and the value should be a timestamp. Control 0..1 Type string Summary true Comments There may be multiple resource versions of the concept map that have this same identifier. ConceptMap.name Definition A free text natural language name describing the concept map. Control 1..1 Type string Requirements Support human navigation. Summary true Comments Not expected to be unique. ConceptMap.publisher Definition The name of the individual or organization that published the concept map. Control 0..1 Type string Requirements Helps establish the "authority/credibility" of the conept map. May also allow for contact. Summary true Comments Usually an organization, but may be an individual. This item SHOULD be populated unless the information is available from context. ConceptMap.telecom Definition Contacts of the publisher to assist a user in finding and communicating with the publisher. Control 0..* Type Contact Summary true Comments May be a web site, an email address, a telephone number (tel:), etc. ConceptMap.description Definition A free text natural language description of the use of the concept map - reason for definition, conditions of use, etc. Control 0..1 Type string Requirements Human understandability. Summary true Comments The description is not intended to describe the semantics of the concept map. The description should capture its intended use, which is needed for ensuring integrity for its use in models across future changes. ConceptMap.copyright Definition A copyright statement relating to the concept map and/or its contents. Control 0..1 Type string Comments Frequently, the copyright differs between the concept map, and codes that are included. The copyright statement should clearly differentiate between these when required. ConceptMap.status Definition The status of the concept map. Control 1..1 Binding ValueSetStatus: The lifecycle status of a Value Set or Concept Map (see http://hl7.org/fhir/valueset-status for values) Type code Is Modifier true Requirements Identify when/if the concept map should be used. Summary true Comments Allows filtering of ConceptMaps that are appropriate for use. ConceptMap.experimental Definition This ConceptMap was authored for testing purposes (or education/evaluation/marketing), and is not intended to be used for genuine usage. Control 0..1 Type boolean Summary true Comments Allows filtering of ConceptMaps that are appropriate for use. ConceptMap.date Definition The date that the concept map status was last changed. Control 0..1 Type dateTime Requirements Need to know when a concept map was first legal for use or became withdrawn or replaced. Summary true Comments Note that this is not the same as the resource last-modified-date, since the resource may be a secondary representation of the concept map. ConceptMap.source Definition The source value set that specifies the concepts that are being mapped. Control 1..1 Type Resource ( ValueSet ) Summary true Comments Should be a version specific reference. ConceptMap.target Definition The target value set provides context to the mappings. Note that the mapping is made between concepts, not between value sets, but the value set provides important context about how the concept mapping choices are made. Control 1..1 Type Resource ( ValueSet ) Summary true ConceptMap.concept Definition Mappings for a concept from the source valueset. Control 0..* Comments Generally, the ideal is that there would only be one mapping for each concept in the source value set, but a given concept may be mapped mutliple times with different comments or dependencies. ConceptMap.concept.system Definition System that defines the concept being mapped. Control 1..1 Type uri ConceptMap.concept.code Definition Identifies concept being mapped. Control 0..1 Type code ConceptMap.concept.dependsOn Definition A set of additional dependencies for this mapping to hold. This mapping is only applicable if the specified concept can be resolved, and it has the specified value. Control 0..* ConceptMap.concept.dependsOn.concept Definition A reference to a specific concept that holds a coded value. This can be an element in a FHIR resource, or a specific reference to a data element in a different specification (e.g. v2) or a general reference to a kind of data field, or a reference to a value set with an appropriately narrow definition. Control 1..1 Type uri ConceptMap.concept.dependsOn.system Definition System for a concept in the referenced concept. Control 1..1 Type uri ConceptMap.concept.dependsOn.code Definition Code for a concept in the referenced concept. Control 1..1 Type code ConceptMap.concept.map Definition A concept from the target value set that this concept maps to. Control 0..* Comments Ideally there would only be one map, with equal or equivalent mapping. But multiple maps are allowed for several narrower options, or to assert that other concepts are unmatched. Invariants Defined on this element Inv-1 : If the map is narrower, there SHALL be some comments (xpath: exists(f:comments) or ((f:equivalence/@value != 'narrower') and (f:equivalence/@value != 'inexact'))) Inv-2 : If a code is provided, a system SHALL be provided (xpath: exists(f:system) or not(exists(f:code))) ConceptMap.concept.map.system Definition System of the target. Control 0..1 Type uri Comments Should be a version specific reference. Invariants Affect this element Inv-2 : If a code is provided, a system SHALL be provided (xpath: exists(f:system) or not(exists(f:code))) ConceptMap.concept.map.code Definition Code that identifies the target concept. Control 0..1 Type code ConceptMap.concept.map.equivalence Definition equal | equivalent | wider | subsumes | narrower | specialises | inexact | unmatched | disjoint. Control 1..1 Binding ConceptMapEquivalence: The degree of equivalence between concepts (see http://hl7.org/fhir/concept-equivalence for values) Type code Is Modifier true ConceptMap.concept.map.comments Definition Description of status/issues in mapping. Control 0..1 Type string Invariants Affect this element Inv-1 : If the map is narrower, there SHALL be some comments (xpath: exists(f:comments) or ((f:equivalence/@value != 'narrower') and (f:equivalence/@value != 'inexact'))) ConceptMap.concept.map.product Definition A set of additional outcomes from this mapping to other value sets. To properly execute this mapping, the specified value set must be mapped to some data element or source that is in context. The mapping may still be useful without a place for the additional data elements, but the equivalence cannot be relied on. Control 0..* Type See ConceptMap.concept.dependsOn © HL7.org 2011+.
