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:
- a status
- a category code of ‘laboratory’
- micro category code as translation
- a LOINC code, if available, which tells you what is being measured
- performing organization
- a patient
- 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)
- an identifier (Filler/Placer) - Discuss whether this is a must support - not an LRI requirement
- a time indicating when the specimen was collected
- a time indicating when the measurement was reported1.
- the specimen
- 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)
