Details

This document is an excerpt from a technical specification, defining a ValueSet called 'Authorization purposes for delegation access valueset' (AuthPurposesVS). This ValueSet is designed to specify the purpose of information access when a RelatedPerson receives delegated authority from a patient. Specifically, it utilizes codes such as 'FAMRQT (family requested)' found in the HL7 v3-ActReason Code Display Definition. It provides the basis for justifying operations performed on medical information by family members. Based on FHIR 4.3.0, this specification plays a crucial role in standardizing privacy protection and access control mechanisms within electronic health record systems. In Japanese healthcare IT, where patient-centered data sharing and family coordination are increasingly required, such clear definitions of delegated authority provide the foundation for achieving secure and legally compliant information exchange. This ValueSet functions as part of a RelatedPerson Consent profile, allowing systems to explicitly define not just who (which family member) can access the data, but also why (e.g., FAMRQT), thereby incorporating a sophisticated concept of 'authority' into FHIR resources.
