Draft as of 2026-11-03 Computable Name: RelatedPerson

Patient Administration - a carer, relative or other person involved in the patient's care. Copied from the NW GMSA FHIR IG.

FDP Canonical Data Model

Equivalent FDP Canonical Data Model (CDM) v1.0.0 objects: Patient Relationship History.

Differences:

  • Good fit: relationship type, name, contact details; the Patient also has next of kin fields.

The CDM is a downstream persistence model, used here as evidence of what NHS operations record, not as a design source. Mapping by property name - To confirm. See FDP Canonical Data Model Mapping for the full mapping.

Usages:

  • This Profile is not used by any profiles in this Specification
