Contact information includes a person's telephone numbers and email addresses. This datatype defines a common basis for expressing all contact information around the world, but adds extensions to express Dutch contacts specifically, according to the HCIM ContactInformation (v1.0, 2017). A Dutch ContactPoint still is a proper FHIR ContactPoint, which means that systems that cannot interpret the extensions will still be able to render and work with this datatype. The table below explains how the HCIM concepts are mapped to the various FHIR elements. The HCIM code itself should also be included using the TelecomType extension.

An Extension

Defines a more specific coded value for the concept TelecomType used in HCIM ContactInformation, to be able to use the required HCIM value set.

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.

Value of extension - may be a resource or one of a constrained set of the data types (see Extensibility in the spec for list).

TelecomTypeCodelijst

Telecommunications form for contact point - what communications system is required to make use of the contact.

The actual contact point details, in a form that is meaningful to the designated communication system (i.e. phone number or email address).

Additional text data such as phone extension numbers, or notes about use of the contact are sometimes included in the value.

Need to support legacy numbers that are not in a tightly controlled format.

Purpose of this contact point

This is labeled as "Is Modifier" because applications should not mistake a temporary or old contact etc.for a current/permanent one. Applications can assume that a contact is current unless it explicitly says that it is temporary or old.

Need to track the way a person uses this contact, so a user can choose which is appropriate for their purpose.

unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. In order 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.

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.

Specifies a preferred order in which to use a set of contacts. Contacts are ranked with lower values coming before higher values.

Note that rank does not necessarily follow the order in which the contacts are represented in the instance.

Time period when the contact point was/is in use.
