Topic: Representing Patient emergency contact in IPS

Hi all :wave: I am looking at storing the emergency contact in an IPS-conformant Patient instance. For R4 in general, there is a standard way to do this (see this thread): add a contact and set contact.relationship.coding.code equal to "C" in http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v2-0131 (part of the extensibly bound ValueSet).
However, the IPS patient profile explicitly overwrites the extensible binding in the base spec with a required binding on contact.relationship to the value set http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ips/ValueSet/personal-relationship-uv-ips. This, in turn, only contains terms designating family/social relations (roommate, mother etc.), but no code for emergency contact. Is there another way to represent an emergency contact? - it seems an important concept to capture (certainly is for us).

Hi @Morten Ernebjerg , I think we need to fix the voc binding. Could you add a jira item ?
Giorgio Cangioli (Dec 11 2020 at 11:50):
looking at the CDA IPS specs the kind of contact (e.g. emergency contact) and the relationship are two sperate concepts (captured by associatedEntity@classCode and associatedEntity.code).
While they seem to be merged into the Patient.contact.relationship element in FHIR
Giorgio Cangioli (Dec 11 2020 at 11:52):
I wonder if we need to have both or not ..
Morten Ernebjerg (Dec 11 2020 at 12:34):
@Giorgio Cangioli Yup, will do - here it is: FHIR-29963. Maybe I can try to join the relevant call - when will the next one be?
Giorgio Cangioli (Dec 11 2020 at 13:51):
the next IPS call is scheduled for Dec 23rd ( :oh_no: ) 11 am ET / 17 CET
Morten Ernebjerg (Dec 13 2020 at 12:32):
Ah, I doubt I can make it then, but I'll see - is the call schedule on the web somewhere?
Rob Hausam (Dec 14 2020 at 02:34):
Here are the details for the call on the 23rd.
