| Level 1 | Advance Directives | Quality of Life Priorities | A PACP may contain a person’s quality of life priorities based on their personal values for what is important to them in order to have a good quality of life. They may value such things as being able to take care of themselves without needing physical help from loved ones, or being able to live without depending on machines to keep them alive, or living as long as possible by receiving all the medical care doctors believe will help them. The intent of the quality of life priorities is to provide guidance to the future care team, in a situation where the person is unable to communicate for his or her self, that informs their healthcare agent as to what is important to them and provides guidance to the care team when treatment decisions need to be made on the person’s behalf. |
HL7 CDA® R2 Implementation Guide: Personal Advance Care Plan (PACP) Document, Release 1 - US Realm STU Release 2 The PACP document is a CDA document template designed to share information created by an individual to express his or her care and medical treatment goals, preferences, and priorities for some future point in time, under certain circumstances when the individual cannot make medical treatment decisions or communicate his or her goals, preferences, and priorities with the care team. The purpose of the PACP document is to ensure that the information created by the individual is available and considered in clinical care planning, and the focus of the standard is sharing patient generated information. It should not matter if the source information is documented on a piece of paper, in a video recording, or in a consumer-controlled application that exists for this purpose. The standard provides a means to share this information in a standard way with a system that maintains a clinical record for the person. It is not intended to be a legal document or a digitization of a legal document. However, a PACP can reference a legal document, and it can represent information contained in a legal document such as the appointment of healthcare agents and the identity of witnesses or a notary. |

| Level 1 | Biologically Derived Product | Material substance originating from a biological entity intended to be transplanted or infused into another (possibly the same) biological entity. |
Biologically Derived Product | This resource is defined by HL7 FHIR as "a material substance originating from a biological entity intended to be transplanted or infused into another (possibly the same) biological entity.” See HL7 FHIR R4 specification for additional details (http://hl7.org/fhir/biologicallyderivedproduct.html). The major components of the BiologicallyDerivedProduct data class are comprised of the following components below: 1. Product information 2. Storage information |
ISBT-128 for biologically derived products of human origin (blood components, fluid, cells, tissues, or organs), and NDC/RxNorm for productized biologics such as blood derived products (e.g. IVIGs, clotting factors, and others).

| Level 1 | Biologically Derived Product | Material substance originating from a biological entity intended to be transplanted or infused into another (possibly the same) biological entity. |
Biologically Derived Product information | This set of data elements describes information related to the biologically derived product: a. Product Code (productCode): this is the data element which can store 1 to many codable concepts describing the product. We propose the ability to use the following product codes to identify biologically derived products: a.i. ISBT-128 Product Code: identifies the biologically derived product type, such as blood components, fluids, tissues, organs, or cells. a.ii. ISBT-128 Donation Identification Number: uniquely identifies a biologic product donation, such as blood components, fluids, tissues, organs, or cells. a.iii. NDC or RxNorm codes can be used for biologically derived products that are manufactured and labeled with an NDC, such as blood derived products (e.g. IVIG’s, clotting factors). Vaccines shall use the Immunization Data Class resource. b. Product Type/Category (FHIR R4: productCategory): this element identifies the product type (e.g. organ | tissue | fluid | cells | biologicalAgent). c. Collector (FHIR R4: collector): identifies the collection entity practitioner resource instance, if appropriate. d. Source (FHIR R4: source): linkage to Patient or Organization resource identifying the biologically derived product donation source. e. Collected date/time (FHIR R4: collected): date and time of biologic product collection. f. Quantity (FHIR R4: quantity): quantity of biologic product identified in the resource instance. |

| Level 1 | Medications | Pharmacologic agents used in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease. |

| Level 1 | Advance Directives | Personal Advance Care Plan | Advance care plan is a general term for any documentation or other recordation of a person’s medical treatment goals, preferences, and priorities for some future point in time, under certain circumstances when the individual cannot make medical treatment decisions or communicate his or her goals, preferences, and priorities with the care team. An advance care plan places an emphasis on communication, as opposed to legal formalities. A PACP is a term specifically defined by HL7 as a template to facilitate the sharing of information expressed in advance care plans. A PACP may include the type of information contained in a living will and/or a durable medical power of attorney, and it also may include other medical interventions experience preference and instructions that help a healthcare agent make treatment decisions on the person’s behalf, and can be used by medical professionals to inform their medical interventions and treatment planning for the patient. Within the family of documents that have been defined under Consolidated CDA, the PACP document can be classified as a type of patient-generated document. The PACP document facilitates digital exchange of information previously and currently captured and shared using paper documents. Digital exchange of this type of data has become particularly critical within the context of COVID-19. To reduce the spread of disease, hospitals have disallowed patient family members and/or representatives to be present when the patient is admitted and as medical interventions are rendered, while also prohibiting acceptance of paper documents due to concerns of contagion. A PACP may include information relating to the appointment of a healthcare agent and alternate agents and establishing their authorized powers and limitations. It also may include information relating to any or all of the following: goals, preferences, and priorities for medical interventions (e.g., palliative and/or hospice care), including medical treatment preferences, based on the patient’s individual values, spiritual and religious beliefs, and personal definitions of quality of life; instructions to be followed after death (e.g., organ donation and autopsy); and information about who has signed, witnessed, and notarized the information authored by the individual, if available and appropriate. The set of recognized kinds of advance directive documents include concepts from the value set: Advance Directives Categories urn:oid:2.16.840.1.113883.11.20.9.69.4 which is openly available for reference in the National Library of Medicine’s Value Set Authority Center.
