FamilyMemberHistory

This topic describes information for the FamilyMemberHistory resource.

To interact with the REST endpoints in the FamilyMemberHistory resource, see FamilyMemberHistory.

Overview

The FamilyMemberHistory resource represents family history for a given patient. The resource may provide a list of conditions associated with a patient's family member or the absence of a condition on a given individual. In other cases, the resource may indicate that no relevant family history exists, no significant history for a given relative exists, or the patient's family history is unknown or unobtainable.

The resource should be used as a snapshot in time and new information should be consistently retrieved through the API rather than stored in an application. In some instances, a relative could have an associated condition removed from the patient's chart, which would then no longer be exposed on a subsequent transaction. Information must be refreshed with every interaction.

Oracle Cerner recommends that an update to FamilyMemberHistory contains all relevant information that previously existed on the resource to ensure that information remains populated in the patient's chart (for example, FamilyMemberHistory.sex, FamilyMemberHistory.bornDate, FamilyMemberHistory.condition.onsetDate, and so on). The absence of this optional information may remove the existing information from the patient's chart.
