Description
FHIR-33080 was a request to support previous names using Patient.name.use=old instead of Patient.name.period.end. However, the "Persuasive with Mod" disposition used "and" an "if known" language, which implies that the end date option is still required.
Propose changing the guidance to align with the Certification Companion Guide: Standardized API for patient and population services:
Either the US Core IG Profile “StructureDefinition-us-core-patient” element “name.period” or “name.use” is required for testing and certification in the ONC Certification Program to meet the USCDI requirement to support the “Patient Demographics” Data Class: “Previous Name” Data Element.
1) Change:
- Note that Date of Death Previous Name, Suffix,and Previous address are listed in the U.S. Core Data for Interoperability.
- Date of Death is communicated using the Patient.deceasedDateTime element.
- Suffix is represented using the Patient.name.suffix element.
- Previous name is represented by setting Patient.name.use to “old” and providing an end date in Patient.name.period element if known
- Previous address is represented by setting Patient.address.use to “old” and providing an end date in Patient.address.period element if known.
- The Patient example demonstrates how these elements are represented.
