Definitions for the au-careagencyemployeeidentifier data type profile.

Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be found here.

1. Identifier
Definition

Care agency employee (CAE) identifier assigned to a person. A CAE identifier may be issued to an employee of, or person under contracted arrangement with, a care agency who wishes to participate in the My Health Record.

An identifier - identifies some entity uniquely and unambiguously. Typically this is used for business identifiers.

1. Identifier
Definition

Care agency employee (CAE) identifier assigned to a person. A CAE identifier may be issued to an employee of, or person under contracted arrangement with, a care agency who wishes to participate in the My Health Record.

An identifier - identifies some entity uniquely and unambiguously. Typically this is used for business identifiers.

Control0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
InvariantsDefined on this element
ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
inv-caei-0: CAE identifier shall be 16 digits (: value.matches('^([0-9]{16})$'))

2. Identifier.use
Definition

The purpose of this identifier.

Control0..1
BindingThe codes SHALL be taken from IdentifierUse

Identifies the purpose for this identifier, if known .

Typecode
Is Modifiertrue
Primitive ValueThis primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension
Summarytrue
Requirements

Allows the appropriate identifier for a particular context of use to be selected from among a set of identifiers.

Comments

Applications can assume that an identifier is permanent unless it explicitly says that it is temporary.

InvariantsDefined on this element
ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
3. Identifier.type
Definition

A coded type for the identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose.

Control10..1
BindingThe codes SHALL be taken from Identifier Type Codes; other codes may be used where these codes are not suitable

A coded type for an identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose.

TypeCodeableConcept
Summarytrue
Requirements

Allows users to make use of identifiers when the identifier system is not known.

Comments

This element deals only with general categories of identifiers. It SHOULD not be used for codes that correspond 1..1 with the Identifier.system. Some identifiers may fall into multiple categories due to common usage. Where the system is known, a type is unnecessary because the type is always part of the system definition. However systems often need to handle identifiers where the system is not known. There is not a 1:1 relationship between type and system, since many different systems have the same type.

4. Identifier.system
Definition

Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, a URL that describes a set values that are unique.

Control10..1
Typeuri
Primitive ValueThis primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension
Summarytrue
Requirements

There are many sets of identifiers. To perform matching of two identifiers, we need to know what set we're dealing with. The system identifies a particular set of unique identifiers.

Comments

Identifier.system is always case sensitive.

5. Identifier.value
Definition

The portion of the identifier typically relevant to the user and which is unique within the context of the system.

Control10..1
Typestring
Primitive ValueThis primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension
Summarytrue
Comments

If the value is a full URI, then the system SHALL be urn:ietf:rfc:3986. The value's primary purpose is computational mapping. As a result, it may be normalized for comparison purposes (e.g. removing non-significant whitespace, dashes, etc.) A value formatted for human display can be conveyed using the Rendered Value extension. Identifier.value is to be treated as case sensitive unless knowledge of the Identifier.system allows the processer to be confident that non-case-sensitive processing is safe.

1. Identifier
Definition

Care agency employee (CAE) identifier assigned to a person. A CAE identifier may be issued to an employee of, or person under contracted arrangement with, a care agency who wishes to participate in the My Health Record.

Control0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
2. Identifier.id
Definition

Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

Control0..1
Typestring
XML RepresentationIn the XML format, this property is represented as an attribute.
Summaryfalse
3. Identifier.extension
Definition

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

Control0..*
TypeExtension
Summaryfalse
Alternate Namesextensions, user content
Comments

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

InvariantsDefined on this element
ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (: extension.exists() != value.exists())
SlicingThis element introduces a set of slices on Identifier.extension. The slices are unordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators:
  • value @ url
