SDC Data Element Manager (Requirements Definition) Published: 2014-07-06 (draft) Published by: U.S. Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) This profile defines the expected capabilities of the SDC Data Element Manager role when conforming to the S&I Framework's Structured Data Capture FHIR implementation guide . This role is responsible for defining maintaining a repository of data elements used in designing forms, profiles and templates in support of SDC use-cases, including the pre-population and auto-population of forms. General FHIR Version: 0.2 Supported formats: xml, json REST behavior The primary focus of the repository is the definition of DataElement s. However, ValueSet s must also be supported to allow definition of coded data elements. Some data elements will choose to maintain value sets as 'contained' resources, meaning the value set exists only in the context of the data element and cannot be referenced or maintained without also updating the data element. However, systems should support value set re-use across data elements. (Version-specific referencing can be used to avoid value sets from changing independent of the referencing Questionnaire .) Security: Implementations must meet the general security requirements documented in the SDC implementation guide . Summary Resource Search Read Read Version Instance History Resource History Validate Create Update Delete DataElement Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes ValueSet Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes DataElement Interactions Name Description   search-type Allows a user to search for existing data elements   read Allows retrieval of a specific known data element   vread Allows retrieval of a specific version of a data element   history-instance Allows review of changes to a data element over time   create Allows defining a new data element. Repositories requiring curation of submitted data elements may require all new data elements to have a status of 'draft'.   update Allows maintaining data elements while creating and editing forms. Servers may choose to prohibit certain types of edits, instead requiring the creation of a new data element (and potentially the retiring of the existing data element). Servers may also limit who can change particular data elements.   validate Allows a client to verify whether a particular new data element or revision of an existing data element would be accepted based on validation and other business rules. Useful for some workflows   delete Allows removal of an existing data element. Servers may choose to not support deletions or may limit deletions to data elements meeting certain requirements. E.g. only elements with a status of draft or only elements that have been retired for at least two years, etc. Search Supported Includes: DataElement.binding.valueSet Parameter Type Definition & Chaining category token code token date date description string identifier token name string publisher string status token version string meaning token objectClass token property token ValueSet Interactions Name Description   search-type Allows discovery of existing value sets for use in authoring data elements   read Allows retrieval of a specific value set referenced within a data element   vread Allows retrieval of a historical version of a value set as referenced within a data element   history-instance Allows review of changes to a value set over time   create Allows definition of a new value set used by one or more data elements   update Allows existing value sets referenced by one or more data elements to be maintained   validate Allows verification that a value set is valid prior to submission - useful for some workflows.   delete Not all servers will support deletion of value sets. Status change to 'retired' will be more typical, though deletion of draft value sets may keep repositories cleaner.
