Resource Profile: Cross-Measure Patient Profile

This profile contains NHSN-specific Required and Must-Support elements for reporting Patient information on public-health surveillance measures to NHSN.

This profile is based on US Core Patient 3.1.1.

NHSN only recognizes the data element 'sex', with male and female as the only accepted responses. These data are mapped from either the patient.extension (birthsex), or patient.gender FHIR standard data elements. These two FHIR standard data elements provide male/female options, per US Core 3.1.1.

For data submitted for patient.gender, and/or patient.extension (birthsex) that do not align with male or female, NHSN will label those responses as not reported. As national standards update, this resource will also be updated.

Usages:

• Use this Profile: NHSN MeasureReport Bundle and NHSN Subject Bundle
• Examples for this Profile: Patient/patient-example-ach-daily-influenzatherapeutic, Patient/patient-example-ach-daily-initialpopulationpass, Patient/patient-example-ach-daily-negativepcr, Patient/patient-example-ach-daily-rsvlabbtg... Show 3 more, Patient/patient-example-ach-monthly-pass1, Patient/patient-example-ach-monthly-pass2 and Patient/patient-example-ach-monthly-pass3
