Topic: Add Mappings to Spreadsheets

Is it possible to add mappings for specific elements in the spreadsheets, e.g. for Patient.name.family and Patient.name.given, instead of adding a mapping only for Patient.name?

Which spreadsheets?

Lloyd McKenzie (May 22 2020 at 15:46):

If you're creating profiles, then yes, you can drill down into data types solely for the purpose of declaring mappings

I was thinking about the spreadsheets for each resource.
For example: https://github.com/HL7/fhir/blob/master/source/device/device-spreadsheet.xml

Lloyd McKenzie (May 26 2020 at 15:26):

For resources, no. Mappings can't drill down into data type components. If you want mappings on data types, those have to be done on the data type StructureDefinitions - outside the context of what resource the data type is used in. If you think a resource or data type would benefit from additional mappings, submit a change request.

So what would be the best way to enter the mappings in the spreadshet in this case?

You can create a profile for each relevant resource and define mappings to whatever depth you desire there. That would be the typical way we'd publish mappings in FHIR

(And try not to use just 'SDC' as it has multiple meanings)

I created a Patient and a Practitioner Profile to add relevant mappings. Now I get the error that the profile cannot be empty. How can this be solved and why does this error only occur with the practitioner and not with the patient profile?
