5. Other Observations - Healthedata1/OO-on-FHIR-Micro-Profile GitHub Wiki

This Profile on Observation defines any other observations not otherwise listed for a culture.

labs can report a variety of other observations for a micro report. Many of these fall into the generic other category.

Based on DAF-Core/US-Core plus additional USlab (LRI) and US-Core Micro Report constraints (in italics):

Each Other Observation must include:

1. a status
2. a category code of ‘laboratory’

• micro category code as translation

1. a LOINC code, if available, which tells you what is being measured
2. performing organization
3. a patient
4. a result value and, if the result value is a numeric quantity, a standard UCUM unit

Each AOE must include: must support:

(stuff from LRI OBX and OBR)

1. an identifier (Filler/Placer) - Discuss whether this is a must support - not an LRI requirement
2. a time indicating when the specimen was collected
3. a time indicating when the measurement was reported1.
4. the specimen
5. a specimen rejection reason This is really a data absent reason and should go there instead of an extension on Obs - consider a DAR profile

Terminology considerations ( note need help from community to work these out)
