Definition of the Intersection of Action Type and Action Participant Type
Intersection of action-type and action-participant-type - Sundhed.dk
Summary
A ValueSet is defined in FHIR that simultaneously considers a specific action (action-type) and the role involved in that action (action-participant-type). This provides a structural foundation for integrating code groups containing both concepts.

This page serves as part of an HL7 FHIR technical reference, defining a new ValueSet representing the common codes (intersection) between two independent ValueSets: 'ActionType' and 'ActionParticipantType'. Specifically, it generates a single ValueSet that handles codes present in both `http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/action-type` and `http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/action-participant-type`. This structure provides a technical foundation for modeling two aspects simultaneously—'what kind of operation (action)' is performed, and 'who is the subject or object of that operation (participant)'—thereby enabling more complex and accurate workflow definitions in healthcare information exchange. In Japan's healthcare IT sector, advanced information linkage based on business processes and roles, beyond mere data exchange, is increasingly required. Concepts like this intersection are crucial technical insights for expressing complex business logic using the FHIR standard, such as improving interoperability between electronic health record systems or identifying participants in telemedicine.
