Actors and Obligations

Actors and Obligations used to describe the Laboratory Report functional requirements for the specified data elements.

Actor Laboratory Report Consumer

Laboratory Report Report Consumer: a system receiving/querying and using a Laboratory Report.

Actor Laboratory Report Creator

Laboratory Report Creator: a system generating and sending/providing a Laboratory Report to a Consumer or to a Repository for the report storage and sharing.

Actor Laboratory Report Repository

Laboratory Report Report Repository: a system maintaining a copy of the received Laboratory Report, to store and make it availaìble for the consumers.

Human Name Obligations

Specify the functional capabilities that the defined actors may, should or shall applied to the Human Name profile elements.

Patient Obligations

Specify the functional capabilities that the defined actors may, should or shall applied to the Patient EU Lab profile elements.

Structures: Resource Profiles

These define constraints on FHIR resources for systems conforming to this implementation guide.

Bundle: Laboratory Report

Clinical document used to represent a Laboratory Report for the scope of the HL7 Europe project.

Composition: Laboratory Report

Clinical document used to represent a Laboratory Report for the scope of the HL7 Europe project.

DiagnosticReport: Laboratory Report

DiagnosticReport used to represent an entry of a Laboratory Report, including its context, for the scope of the HL7 Europe project.

Observation Results: laboratory

This profile constrains the Observation resource to represent results produced by laboratory tests or panels/studies for the HL7 Europe project. This observation may represent the result of a simple laboratory test such as hematocrit or it may group the set of results produced by a multi-test study or panel such as a complete blood count, a dynamic function test, a urine specimen study. In the latter case, the observation carries the overall conclusion of the study and or a global interpretation by the producer of the study, in the comment element; and references the atomic results of the study as “has-member” child observations.

Patient: Animal

This profile defines how to represent an Animal as subject of care in FHIR for the purpose of this guide. This is used to identify the species when a specimen is collected from an animal

Patient: Person

This profile defines how to represent a human Patient in FHIR for the purpose of this guide. When the ips-pat-1 invariant is satified (Patient.name.given, Patient.name.family or Patient.name.text SHALL be present) then this proifle complies with the IPS patient profile.

Practitioner: Laboratory Report

This profile defines how to represent Practitioners in FHIR for the purpose of the HL7 Europe project.

PractitionerRole: Laboratory Report

This profile defines how to represent Practitioners (with their roles) in FHIR for the purpose of the HL7 Europe project.

ServiceRequest: Laboratory Order

This profile defines how to represent an laboratory orders using the HL7 FHIR ServiceRequest for the purpose of this guide.

Specimen: Laboratory

This profile defines how to represent Specimens in HL7 FHIR for the purpose of this guide.

Substance: Specimen Additive Substance

This profile defines how to represent Specimen Additive Substances in HL7 FHIR for the purpose of this guide.

Structures: Data Type Profiles

These define constraints on FHIR data types for systems conforming to this implementation guide.

Address (EU)

European profile on Address. It includes extensions to support seperate streetname, housenumber and postal box It is RECOMMENDED to give these elements seperately.

HumanName (Eu)

European profile on HumanName data type. It includes extensions to support multiple family names.

Quantity (Eu) for lab observations

Data type Quantity constrained to use UCUM as the code system for units and optionally share measurement uncertainty

Ratio (Eu) for lab observations

Data type Ratio constrained to use UCUM as the code system for units and optionally share measurement uncertainty

Structures: Extension Definitions

These define constraints on FHIR data types for systems conforming to this implementation guide.

Laboratory Specialty

Laboratory Specialties. Notes: Note 1: This value set is based on analysis of national coding practices in 8 european countries (AT, CZ, DE, FR, IE, IT, PT, SE) and agreed by involved lab experts as a common lab specialty value set. Note 2: Many european countries are usign additional laboratory specialty types, which should be mapped towards this value set. Note 3: In case of documented need, this value set could be extended.

Laboratory Specimen Types

Laboratory Specimen Types

Laboratory Study Types

Laboratory Study Types Notes: Note 1:26436-6 (Laboratory studies) enables issuing a report putting together observations from multiple specialties (disciplines) in the same text block, allowing delivery of a global interpretation comment at the end of the text block that will be rendered at the end of the report. Note 2:Mycology and parasitology, as well as bacteriology, are part of the 18725-2 (Microbiology studies (set)) studies. Note 3:Virology MAY be included in 18725-2 (MICROBIOLOGY STUDIES) or 18727-8 (SEROLOGY STUDIES) or split between both study types, depending upon the Content Creator Actor’s choice.
