               value="This is primarily the administrative gender. The gender might not match the biological sex as determined by genetics or the individual's preferred identification. Note that for both humans and particularly animals, there are other legitimate possibilities than male and female, though the vast majority of systems and contexts only support male and female.  Systems providing decision support or enforcing business rules should ideally do this on the basis of Observations dealing with the specific sex or gender aspect of interest (anatomical, chromosomal, social, etc.)  However, because these observations are infrequently recorded, defaulting to the administrative gender is common practice.  Where such defaulting occurs, rule enforcement should allow for the variation between administrative and biological, chromosomal and other gender aspects.  For example, an alert about a hysterectomy on a male should be handled as a warning or overridable error, not a &quot;hard&quot; error.  See the Patient Gender and Sex section for additional information about communicating patient gender and sex.

Special remarks for KMEHR users: 

Please note gender in KMEHR is typically expressed using CD-SEX. The two values that do not map directly to the HL7 dataset are 'undefined' (use 'other') and 'changed' (use the actual gender)"/>

Special remarks for KMEHR users:

Note when .use and .type are used they SHALL use the FHIR defined valuesets as per their required binding level in the FHIR specification. In a KMEHR address, the use was defined by CD-ADDRESS but those values can be found in the FHIR valueset.
KMEHR values 'careadress', 'other' and 'vacation' are not directly present in the FHIR address-use table but can be mapped to the value 'temp' in FHIR. In those cases, it is RECOMMENDED to also add a .period.
In KMEHR, an address might be expressed using free text or a totally structured approach where the streetname and housenumber are put in separate fields. FHIR prefers a more pragmatic approach where the ‘text’ element is used to print on labels. Also, streetname and number are not separate fields as in KMEHR but in a structural approach are given as one or moren ‘line’ elements. It is however RECOMMENDED to use the Streetname, Housenumber and Postbox extensions to express them seperately.
Note the FHIR address also allows to optionally define whether the address is a physical, postal or ‘both’ address using the .type field."/>

Special remarks for KMEHR users:

A contact person for the patient is not part of the 'patient' element itself in KMEHR. As such, the base resource of this is considered sufficient here. The KMEHR standard defines a contact as a separate element using a value from the KMEHR CD-ITEM table and an appropriate value from CD-CONTACT-PERSON to describe the relation to the patient in the KMEHR message. When needed, using FHIR, the contactperson is included in the FHIR resource Patient. Use cases implementing this contact SHALL be aware not all information of CD-CONTACT-PERSON is covered by the base valueset. The codesystem ‘https://www.ehealth.fgov.be/standards/fhir/core/CodeSystem/CD-CONTACT-PERSON’ SHALL be used to refer to any codes previously used in a KMEHR context that cannot be covered by the base HL7 valueset."/>

Special remarks for KMEHR users:

The 'usuallanguage' element in a KMEHR message only refers to the use of W3C language codes. As such, the language codes as proposed in the FHIR standard should not present any interoperability issue. Note the KMEHR element implies it is the language usally used by the patient. As such, when this element from KMEHR would be mapped to a FHIR resource, the communication.preferred Boolean SHOULD be used."/>

Multiple GPs may be recorded against the patient for various reasons, such as a student that has his home GP listed along with the GP at university during the school semesters, or a &quot;fly-in/fly-out&quot; worker that has the onsite GP also included with his home GP to remain aware of medical issues.

Jurisdictions may decide that they can profile this down to 1 if desired, or 1 per type.

Special remarks for KMEHR users:

The general practioner is in many KMEHR use cases known by being the author or sender of the message. This is however a functionally different concept from the generalPractioner as it is defined in the FHIR resource. (Consult the published definition on the HL7 webpage) It is also possible in KMEHR to add a general practioner via an item and using the correct value from CD-ITEM. That way is functionally closer to the general practioner referenced here. Note in the FHIR base definition of this element that the scope of this element might be wider then just the general practicioner."/>

This SHOULD be included when available.Please note this is an element of the Reference datatype.

Alternatively, there is only an internal reference and the Organization is included as a ‘contained resource’ (cfr. the HL7 FHIR specifications in what cases this applies)."/>

Special remarks for KMEHR users:

The reference to the managing organization is the organization that is the custodian of the patient record. As there is no explicit ‘author of this record’ – like in a KMEHR message – this element functionally refers to the organization in charge. (Which might also be a GP practice of an individual.)"/>

               value="This is primarily the administrative gender. The gender might not match the biological sex as determined by genetics or the individual's preferred identification. Note that for both humans and particularly animals, there are other legitimate possibilities than male and female, though the vast majority of systems and contexts only support male and female.  Systems providing decision support or enforcing business rules should ideally do this on the basis of Observations dealing with the specific sex or gender aspect of interest (anatomical, chromosomal, social, etc.)  However, because these observations are infrequently recorded, defaulting to the administrative gender is common practice.  Where such defaulting occurs, rule enforcement should allow for the variation between administrative and biological, chromosomal and other gender aspects.  For example, an alert about a hysterectomy on a male should be handled as a warning or overridable error, not a &quot;hard&quot; error.  See the Patient Gender and Sex section for additional information about communicating patient gender and sex.

Special remarks for KMEHR users: 

Please note gender in KMEHR is typically expressed using CD-SEX. The two values that do not map directly to the HL7 dataset are 'undefined' (use 'other') and 'changed' (use the actual gender)"/>

Special remarks for KMEHR users:

A contact person for the patient is not part of the 'patient' element itself in KMEHR. As such, the base resource of this is considered sufficient here. The KMEHR standard defines a contact as a separate element using a value from the KMEHR CD-ITEM table and an appropriate value from CD-CONTACT-PERSON to describe the relation to the patient in the KMEHR message. When needed, using FHIR, the contactperson is included in the FHIR resource Patient. Use cases implementing this contact SHALL be aware not all information of CD-CONTACT-PERSON is covered by the base valueset. The codesystem ‘https://www.ehealth.fgov.be/standards/fhir/core/CodeSystem/CD-CONTACT-PERSON’ SHALL be used to refer to any codes previously used in a KMEHR context that cannot be covered by the base HL7 valueset."/>

If the Patient does not speak the default local language, then the Interpreter Required Standard can be used to explicitly declare that an interpreter is required.

Special remarks for KMEHR users:

The 'usuallanguage' element in a KMEHR message only refers to the use of W3C language codes. As such, the language codes as proposed in the FHIR standard should not present any interoperability issue. Note the KMEHR element implies it is the language usally used by the patient. As such, when this element from KMEHR would be mapped to a FHIR resource, the communication.preferred Boolean SHOULD be used."/>

Multiple GPs may be recorded against the patient for various reasons, such as a student that has his home GP listed along with the GP at university during the school semesters, or a &quot;fly-in/fly-out&quot; worker that has the onsite GP also included with his home GP to remain aware of medical issues.

Jurisdictions may decide that they can profile this down to 1 if desired, or 1 per type.

Special remarks for KMEHR users:

The general practioner is in many KMEHR use cases known by being the author or sender of the message. This is however a functionally different concept from the generalPractioner as it is defined in the FHIR resource. (Consult the published definition on the HL7 webpage) It is also possible in KMEHR to add a general practioner via an item and using the correct value from CD-ITEM. That way is functionally closer to the general practioner referenced here. Note in the FHIR base definition of this element that the scope of this element might be wider then just the general practicioner."/>

Special remarks for KMEHR users:

The reference to the managing organization is the organization that is the custodian of the patient record.
