Administrative Gender Other Description #42

Closed StefanBeyer closed 2 years ago

StefanBeyer commented 2 years ago

In the PCSP platform for the administrative gender other it is possible to enter a description of the gender. How can such a description be encoded in the patient FHIR resource? I cannot find a respective element in the Patient PCSP resource.

the gender is a code and not a CodeableConcept, so there is no text attribute.

The only option I see if actually needed is to use the http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/originalText extension; but there were no actual requirements for doing this...

Should we add it ?

@StefanBeyer @davisart : suggestions ?

StefanBeyer commented 2 years ago

I don't think we really need to send this data from our point of view. However, the field is currently marked as required in the PCSP UI (if the gender other is selected), so I'm not really sure.

If we should send it, I guess the extension would be fine.

davisart commented 2 years ago

we confirm we cannot add "other" specification in FHIR Patient resource, we agree with Stefan to add it in a specific extension
