Thank you Alan for letting me know about this issue. I have rectified this issue in the updated template on the RFC page.

Here is the completed template for this requested change: https://ic.infoway-inforoute.ca/en/resources/docs/hl7/646-hl7-proposed-change-voc-xsd-xls

There seems to be a problem with the "Link(s) to Forum" column in the spreadsheet: It should allow me to put a URL but instead it forces me to select "Domain"?

Happy New Year too Wendy. Thanks for looking into this. While we can make a change to the voc.xsd that we will use, will this change be seen in voc.xsd files produced by Infoway in future releases?

Hi Alan,

Happy new year. Upon reviewing of this issue, this appears to be an error in the voc.xsd. The list fully enumerated in x_BasicPersonNameUse value set should be supported in the "use" property of the PN.BASIC data type for validation of allowable values in the XSD.

Let me know if I can provide further assistance to proceed forward.

Wendy

The XSD files included with the pCS R02.04.03 release constrains the EntityNameUse to 'C' whereas the standard for PN.BASIC (https://infocentral.infoway-inforoute.ca/extra/ab/r020403-html/html/datatype.html?PN.BASIC) states:

"The “use” property is mandatory and is constrained to the list of values found in the Terminology Worksheet, x_BasicPersonNameUse value set."

x_BasicPersonNameUse values are:

L legal Known as/conventional/the one you use
P pseudonym or alias A self asserted name that the person is using or has used.
C License or professional name As recorded on a license, record, certificate, etc (only if different from legal name)
OR Official registry The formal name as registered in an official (government) registry, but which name might not be commonly used. Particularly used in countries with a law system based on Napoleonic law.
ASGN assigned A name assigned to a person. Reasons some organization assign alternate names may include not knowing the person's name, or to maintain anonymity. Some, but not neceessarily all, of the name types that people call "alias" may fit into this category.

At this time, the R02.04.03 voc.xsd will flag //healthCarePrincipalPerson/name/@use value of 'L' as erroneous. Why the discrepancy between the standard and the XSDs?
