description: This profile contains NHSN-specific Required and Must-Support elements for reporting Patient information on public-health surveillance measures to [NHSN](https://www.cdc.gov/nhsn/index.html).\r\n\r\nThis profile is based on [US Core Patient 3.1.1](https://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/STU3.1.1/StructureDefinition-us-core-patient.html). \r\n\r\nNHSN only recognizes the data element 'sex', with male and female as the only accepted responses. These data are mapped from either the patient.extension (birthsex), or patient.gender FHIR standard data elements. These two FHIR standard data elements provide male/female options, per US Core 3.1.1. \r\n\r\nFor data submitted for patient.gender, and/or patient.extension (birthsex) that do not align with male or female, NHSN will label those responses as not reported. As national standards update, this resource will also be updated. package_name: gov.cdc.nhsn.dqm derivation: constraint name: CrossMeasurePatient type: Patient elements: address: elements: use: {mustSupport: true, index: 17} type: {mustSupport: true, index: 18} text: {mustSupport: true, index: 19} district: {mustSupport: true, index: 20} country: {mustSupport: true, index: 21} meta: extensions: link-received-date-extension: {url: 'http://www.cdc.gov/nhsn/fhirportal/dqm/ig/StructureDefinition/link-received-date-extension', min: 0, max: 1, type: Extension, index: 1} elements: extension: type: Extension url: http://www.cdc.gov/nhsn/fhirportal/dqm/ig/StructureDefinition/link-received-date-extension index: 1 slicing: slices: link-received-date-extension: match: {} schema: {type: Extension, url: 'http://www.cdc.gov/nhsn/fhirportal/dqm/ig/StructureDefinition/link-received-date-extension', index: 1} min: 0 max: 1 name: elements: use: {mustSupport: true, index: 7} text: {mustSupport: true, index: 8} prefix: {mustSupport: true, index: 9} suffix: {mustSupport: true, index: 10} period: {mustSupport: true, index: 11} birthDate: {index: 14} deceased: mustSupport: true choices: [] index: 16 extension: short: US Core Race Extension (If present, must include at least one of the required codes.
