Patient Telecom

A patient’s “telecom” can be their phone number or email address.

Telecom guidance for V2 and FHIR can be viewed here.

Telecom guidance for CDA and FHIR

CDA telecom	FHIR telecom	Transform Steps
@use	.use	CDA telecom use → FHIR contact point use Note that CDA's @use='PG' is equivalent to FHIR's .system='pager'
@value	.system & .value	CDA telecom value → FHIR contact point system Only include information in FHIR value which comes after the CDA system prefix; other formatting may be preserved. E.g. CDA tel:+1(555)867-5309 becomes +1(555)867-5309 in FHIR.

Handling Multiple Telecoms

Just like with address, multiple telecoms can be included. Each telecom should include a clarifying use attribute.
