I have few questions related to Add Patient (Create Patient) in Cerner.

1. Where do i get "system" in communication object ?

"communication": [
    {
      "language": {
        "coding": [
          {
            "system": "urn:ietf:bcp:47",
            "code": "en",
            "display": "English"
          }
        ],
        "text": "English"
      },
      "preferred": true
    }
  ]

2. Where do i get Practitioners Id in CareProvider?

      "reference": "Practitioner/4646007"
    }
  ]

3.Where do i get "system" in maritalStatus?

"maritalStatus": {
    "coding": [

Any help would be appreciated....

Hi Vinod,

I'm not sure I'm completely following what you're asking. However, the specification defines the systems that each code field is bound to. In addition, each implementer defines terminology bindings in our own implementation when the specification left it as example (or not required). 

For HL7 definitions: http://hl7.org/fhir/dstu2/patient.html (EG: Marital status linked from that site: https://fhir.cerner.com/millennium/dstu2/individuals/practitioner/)

Our additional bindings: https://fhir.cerner.com/millennium/dstu2/individuals/patient/#terminology-bindings

Information on the specification about terminology bindings: http://hl7.org/fhir/dstu2/terminologies.html

The id field of any resource is the unique identifier for it in FHIR: http://hl7.org/fhir/dstu2/resource.html#id

So, you get Practitioner ids from the Practitioner resource, or you look up the practitioner linked from CareTeam in the Practitioner resource: https://fhir.cerner.com/millennium/dstu2/individuals/practitioner/ 

Regards,

Jenni
