Stream: Death on FHIR
Topic: Birth Place (BirthState value)

Hi Team
If Birth record state is null, when decedent birth place is out of "United States" then what should be shown in FHIR. Our database have country name and few list has state name with country, how to define FHIR code?
Thanks

Hi @Velan ,
The birthstate component of BirthRecordIdentifier indicates that the state is represented by a code from ISO 3166-2 which encodes both country and state in a single concept. So, for example, the Canadian provinces are encoded as CA-XX, where XX is the two letter province code. Similarly US states are encoded as US-XX where XX is the two letter state code.

Hi @velan
See the link to ISO 3166-2 above. You will find detail pages for other countries.

Hi @Velan,
Good questions.
I think the requirement for 3166-2 for all addresses is quite challenging for foreign births outside of US and CA. (I've opened a jira issue about this
I suggest that you use US-<state> and CA-<province> for US and CA births, and just the 3166-1 2 character country code for all other births.
