Correction Task Profile

Canonical	../StructureDefinition/nexus-correction-task
Status	draft · 1.26.0
Base	Task Profile (constraint)
Source	FSH · JSON

A patient's request to correct their own record, or to log a disagreement where a correction was refused, carried as an ordinary clinical task with the statutory correction vocabulary. Same worklist, same shape, narrower status set. AN ACCESS REQUEST IS NOT HELD TO THIS PROFILE. Every code in this vocabulary describes a correction or a disagreement, so a request to be given a copy of the record has no terminal state here it could truthfully reach. It shares the privacy-request worklist bin and stays on the base clinical task, which binds the wider set.

Examples

Clinical task correction request denied

Patient requests correction of LDL result of 8 April 2026; states sample was non-fasting.

The <code>privacy-request</code> code is the worklist bin; the second coding carries HL7's international correction vocabulary for a reader outside this estate.</p><p><strong>Status is <code>completed</code>, not <code>failed</code>.</strong> Somebody reviewed the request and decided.
