Identifier
The Identifier FHIR resource maps to the Identifier object in Salesforce.
FHIR V4.0 - Clinical Data Model Mapping
Here’s how the fields defined by FHIR for Identifier map to the fields in Salesforce.
| Identifier Resource | Salesforce Field | Type | Salesforce Cardinality | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| use | Identifier.IdUsageType | Picklist | 0.1 | FHIR defines identifier.use as a code set. However, the Salesforce implementation of Identifier.IdUsageType is a dynamic picklist because of the limited list of possible values. |
| type | Identifier.IdTypeId | Polymorphic Lookup: CodeSet, CodeSetBundle | 0.1 | N/A |
| system | Identifier.SourceSystem | String | 0.1 | FHIR defines identifier.system as a URI. However, the Salesforce implementation of Identifier.SourceSystem is a string because Salesforce doesn’t support the URI data type. |
| value | Identifier.IdValue | String | 0.1 | N/A |
| period | Identifier.EffectiveDate | DateTime | 0.1 | In Salesforce’s implementation, identifier.period is split into two fields, Identifier.EffectiveDate and Identifier.EndDate. |
| Identifier.EndDate | DateTime | 0.1 | ||
| assigner | Identifier.IssuingAuthorityId | Lookup: Account | 0.1 | N/A |
