    PlanDefinition Class

    This resource allows for the definition of various types of plans as a sharable, consumable, and executable artifact. The resource is general enough to support the description of a broad range of clinical and non-clinical artifacts such as clinical decision support rules, order sets, protocols, and drug quality specifications.

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: The definition of a plan for a series of actions, independent of any specific patient or context

    Properties

    url?: UriType

    PlanDefinition.url Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Canonical identifier for this plan definition, represented as a URI (globally unique)
    • Definition: An absolute URI that is used to identify this plan definition when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance; also called its canonical identifier. This SHOULD be globally unique and SHOULD be a literal address at which at which an authoritative instance of this plan definition is (or will be) published. This URL can be the target of a canonical reference. It SHALL remain the same when the plan definition is stored on different servers.
    • Comment: Can be a urn:uuid: or a urn:oid: but real http: addresses are preferred. Multiple instances may share the same URL if they have a distinct version. The determination of when to create a new version of a resource (same url, new version) vs. defining a new artifact is up to the author. Considerations for making this decision are found in Technical and Business Versions. In some cases, the resource can no longer be found at the stated url, but the url itself cannot change. Implementations can use the meta.source element to indicate where the current master source of the resource can be found.
    • Requirements: Allows the plan definition to be referenced by a single globally unique identifier.
    • FHIR Type: uri
    • Cardinality: 0..1
    • isModifier: false
    • isSummary: true
    identifier?: Identifier[]

    PlanDefinition.identifier Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Additional identifier for the plan definition
    • Definition: A formal identifier that is used to identify this plan definition when it is represented in other formats, or referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance.
    • Comment: Typically, this is used for identifiers that can go in an HL7 V3 II (instance identifier) data type, and can then identify this plan definition outside of FHIR, where it is not possible to use the logical URI.
    • Requirements: Allows externally provided and/or usable business identifiers to be easily associated with the module.
    • FHIR Type: Identifier
    • Cardinality: 0..*
    • isModifier: false
    • isSummary: true
    version?: StringType

    PlanDefinition.version Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Business version of the plan definition
    • Definition: The identifier that is used to identify this version of the plan definition when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the plan definition author and is not expected to be globally unique. For example, it might be a timestamp (e.g. yyyymmdd) if a managed version is not available. There is also no expectation that versions can be placed in a lexicographical sequence. To provide a version consistent with the Decision Support Service specification, use the format Major.Minor.Revision (e.g. 1.0.0). For more information on versioning knowledge assets, refer to the Decision Support Service specification. Note that a version is required for non-experimental active artifacts.
    • Comment: There may be different plan definition instances that have the same identifier but different versions. The version can be appended to the url in a reference to allow a reference to a particular business version of the plan definition with the format [url]|[version].

Canonical references are allowed to support the definition of protocols for drug and substance quality specifications, and is allowed to reference a MedicinalProductDefinition, SubstanceDefinition, AdministrableProductDefinition, ManufacturedItemDefinition, or PackagedProductDefinition resource.
    • Comment: Note that the choice of canonical for the subject element was introduced in R4B to support pharmaceutical quality use cases. To ensure as much backwards-compatibility as possible, it is recommended to only use the new canonical type with these use cases.

    • Comment: Note that this is not the same as the resource last-modified-date, since the resource may be a secondary representation of the plan definition. Additional specific dates may be added as extensions or be found by consulting Provenances associated with past versions of the resource.
