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.

This profile constrains the Observation resource to represent a laboratory in vitro diagnostic test or panel/study. In case of a panel/study, the results of the panel appear as sub-observations. In this case this top-level Observation acts as a grouper of all the observations belonging to the panel or study. The top-level observation may carry a conclusion in the value element and or a global interpretation by the producer of the study, in the comment element.

This profile offers two options to indicate the Certified Reference Material used for the calibration (in general when the UCUM International Units are used for the results [IU]).

  • The first to be used when the Certified Reference Material is represented by a coded concept
  • The second when the Certified Reference Material is identified with an Identifier.

Adopters are invited to give their feedback about

  1. The most proper way to refer the Certified Reference Material, that is by using an Identifier or a CodeableConcept
  2. If a CodeableReference should be used
  3. If this information should be an extension of the Observation resource, or of other elements (e.g. DeviceMetric.calibration)

Slices

This structure defines the following Slices:

  • The element Observation.category is sliced based on the value of pattern:$this
  • The element Observation.value[x] is sliced based on the value of type:$this (Closed)
  • The element Observation.component.value[x] is sliced based on the value of type:$this (Closed)
