A straightforward and accurate mapping of zib TreatmentDirective2 to FHIR is not possible. The main consideration is to choose between the Consent and CarePlan resource. Unfortunately, the Consent resource does not have full support for treatment directives yet as its main focus is to model Patient's privacy consents. Regardless, it seems to be the best match to represent the intention of the zib, as both the resource and the zib cover a mutual agreement about treatments and not per se the resulting actions or policy for treatments, which would better be handled using the CarePlan resource. Future migration to a later version of FHIR or the zib will result in the reevaluation of the mapping.

Broadly, there are 3 key areas of consent for patients: Consent around sharing information (aka Privacy Consent Directive - Authorization to Collect, Use, or Disclose information), consent for specific treatment, or kinds of treatment, and general advance care directives.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

Optional Extension Element - found in all resources.

Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.

The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.

A (written) statement in which a person indicates wishes concerning future medical action, in the event that this person is at that point no longer (deemed) capable of taking decisions on the matter.

Value of extension - must be one of a constrained set of the data types (see Extensibility for a list).

Consent.source:sourceReference is the primary target for referencing zib AdvanceDirective (zib concept NL-CM:2.2.8). However, the cardinality of Consent.source[x] is restricted to 0..1. If more than one AdvanceDirective needs to be referenced, the additional references can be communicated using this extension. If this extension is used, Consent.source:sourceReference SHALL be populated and it SHALL not contain the same reference as this extension.

An Extension

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

An Extension

Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.

The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.

Indicates the current state of this consent.

This element is implicitly mapped to the zib concepts NL-CM:2.2.5 (MostRecentReviewDate) and NL-CM:2.2.6 (DateExpired). Unless the status is explicitly recorded, the following guidance applies:

• When MostRecentReviewDate is in the past and DateExpired is absent or in the future, .status will usually be set to active.
• When DateExpired is in the past, .status will usually be set to inactive.
• When MostRecentReviewDate is absent or in the future, which is not possible following the zib, .status will usually be set to draft.

This element is labeled as a modifier because the status contains the codes rejected and entered-in-error that mark the Consent as not currently valid.

Indicates the state of the consent.

The Consent Directive that is pointed to might be in various lifecycle states, e.g., a revoked Consent Directive.

A selector of the type of consent being presented: ADR, Privacy, Treatment, Research. This list is now extensible.

The four anticipated uses for the Consent Resource.

A classification of the type of consents found in the statement. This element supports indexing and retrieval of consent statements.

A classification of the type of consents found in a consent statement.

The patient/healthcare consumer to whom this consent applies.

Commonly, the patient the consent pertains to is the author, but for young and old people, it may be some other person.

The source on which this consent statement is based. The source might be a scanned original paper form, or a reference to a consent that links back to such a source, a reference to a document repository (e.g. XDS) that stores the original consent document.

The source can be contained inline (Attachment), referenced directly (Consent), referenced in a consent repository (DocumentReference), or simply by an identifier (Identifier), e.g. a CDA document id.

The source on which this consent statement is based. The source might be a scanned original paper form, or a reference to a consent that links back to such a source, a reference to a document repository (e.g. XDS) that stores the original consent document.

The cardinality of this Consent.source[x] element is restricted to 0..1, which is narrower than the AdvanceDirective concept (NL-CM:2.2.8) specified in the HCIM TreatmentDirective2. If additional AdvanceDirective references are needed, the additionalAdvanceDirective extension can be used in addition to this element. If the additionalAdvanceDirective extension is used, this element SHALL be populated and it SHALL not contain a reference that is also present in the extension.

The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.

The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term.

Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

The base language in which the resource is written.

Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).

A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later.

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags In their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels.

A security label, comprised of 0..* security label fields (Privacy tags), which define which resources are controlled by this exception.

If the consent specifies a security label of "R" then it applies to all resources that are labeled "R" or lower. E.g. for Confidentiality, it's a high water mark. For other kinds of security labels, subsumption logic applies. When the purpose of use tag is on the data, access request purpose of use shall not conflict.

The context of the activities a user is taking - why the user is accessing the data - that are controlled by this rule.

When the purpose of use tag is on the data, access request purpose of use shall not conflict.

The class of information covered by this rule. The type can be a FHIR resource type, a profile on a type, or a CDA document, or some other type that indicates what sort of information the consent relates to.

Multiple types are or'ed together. The intention of the contentType element is that the codes refer to profiles or document types defined in a standard or an implementation guide somewhere.

The medical treatment to which the treatment instruction applies.

Typical use of this is a Document code with class = CDA.

Clinical or Operational Relevant period of time that bounds the data controlled by this rule.
