The US Core Condition Problems and Health Concerns Profile inherits from the FHIR Condition resource; refer to it for scope and usage definitions. US Core version 5.0.0 split the US Core Condition Profile into this profile and the US Core Condition Encounter Diagnosis Profile. This profile meets the requirements of the U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) Problems, Health Concerns, and SDOH Problems/Health Concerns Data Elements. It sets minimum expectations for the Condition resource to record, search, and fetch information about a condition, diagnosis, or another event, situation, issue, or clinical concept documented and categorized as a problem or health concern, including information about a Social Determinants of Health related condition. It specifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets SHALL be present in the resource and constrains how the elements are used. Providing the floor for standards development for specific use cases promotes interoperability and adoption.

Example Usage Scenarios:

The following are example usage scenarios for this profile:

  • Query for a Patient’s current or historical problems and health concerns
  • Record or update a Patient’s problems and health concerns

Mandatory and Must Support Data Elements

The following data elements must always be present (Mandatory definition) or must be supported if the data is present in the sending system (Must Support definition). They are presented below in a simple human-readable explanation. Profile specific guidance and examples are provided as well. The Formal Views below provides the formal summary, definitions, and terminology requirements.

Each Condition Must Have:

  1. a category code of “problem-list-item” or “health-concern”
  2. a code that identifies the condition*
  3. a patient

Each Condition Must Support:

  1. a timestamp when the resource last changed*
  2. a clinical status of the condition (e.g., active or resolved)
  3. a verification status
  4. additional health status/assessment categories
  5. a date of diagnosis*
  6. abatement date (in other words, date of resolution or remission)
  7. a date when recorded*

*see guidance below

Profile Specific Implementation Guidance:

  • For Encounter Diagnosis, use the US Core Condition Encounter Diagnosis Profile.
  • *The Condition.code has an additional binding of “current” and a base “preferred” binding.
    • For the conformance rules on the current binding for coded data, review this section in the General Requirements page.
    • USCDI’s applicable vocabulary standards for Problems/Health Concerns are SNOMED CT and ICD-10-CM.
      • The US Core Condition Codes only supports ICD-9-CM for historical purposes. ICD-10-CM is available and SHOULD be used as the primary code for current encounter diagnoses.
  • See the Screening and Assessments guidance page for more information when exchanging Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Problems/Health Concerns.
  • If Condition.category contains a Problem List item category (problem-list-item), Condition.clinicalStatus SHOULD be present.
  • *There is no single element in Condition that represents the date of diagnosis. It may be the assertedDate Extension, Condition.onsetDateTime, or Condition.recordedDate.
    • Although all three are marked as Must Support, the server is not required to support all.
    • A server SHALL support Condition.recordedDate.
      • A server SHALL support at least one of assertedDate Extension and Condition.onsetDateTime. A server may support both, which means they support all 3 locations.
      • The client application SHALL support all three elements.
  • * See the US Core General Guidance page for Searching Using lastUpdated. Updates to Meta.lastUpdated SHOULD reflect:
    • New problems and health concerns
    • Changes in the clinical status or verifications status of problems or health concerns

Based upon additional testing, we intend to to upgrade the Meta.lastUpdated guidance (SHOULD) to requirements (SHALL) in the next version of US Core

Quick Start

Below is an overview of the required Server RESTful FHIR interactions for this profile - for example, search and read operations - when supporting the US Core interactions to access this profile’s information (Profile Support + Interaction Support). Note that systems that support only US Core Profiles (Profile Only Support) are not required to support these interactions. See the US Core Server CapabilityStatement for a complete list of supported RESTful interactions for this IG.

  • See the Scopes Format section for a description of the SMART scopes syntax.
  • See the Search Syntax section for a description of the US Core search syntax.
  • See the General Requirements section for additional rules and expectations when a server requires status parameters.
  • See the General Guidance section for additional guidance on searching for multiple patients.

US Core Scopes

Servers providing access to problems and health concern data SHALL support these US Core SMART Scopes:

  • resource level scopes: <patient|user|system>/Condition.rs

  • granular scopes: <patient|user|system>.Condition.rs?category=http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/condition-category|problem-list-item

  • granular scopes: <patient|user|system>.Condition.rs?category=http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/CodeSystem/condition-category|health-concern

Mandatory Search Parameters:

The following search parameters and search parameter combinations SHALL be supported:

  1. SHALL support searching for all conditions including problems, health concerns, and encounter diagnosis for a patient using the patient search parameter:

    GET [base]/Condition?patient={Type/}[id]

    Example:

    1. GET [base]/Condition?patient=1137192

    Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Condition resources for the specified patient (how to search by reference)

  2. SHALL support searching using the combination of the patient and category search parameters:

    GET [base]/Condition?patient={Type/}[id]&category={system|}[code]

    Example:

    1. GET [base]/Condition?patient=1032702&category=http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/condition-category|problem-list-item
    2. GET [base]/Condition?patient=1032702&category=http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/CodeSystem/condition-category|health-concern
    3. GET [base]/Condition?patient=1032702&category=http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/condition-category|encounter-diagnosis

    Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Condition resources for the specified patient and category. (how to search by reference and how to search by token)

Optional Search Parameters:

The following search parameter combinations SHOULD be supported:

  1. SHOULD support searching using the combination of the patient and clinical-status search parameters:

    GET [base]/Condition?patient={Type/}[id]&clinical-status=http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/condition-clinical|active,http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/condition-clinical|recurrance,http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/condition-clinical|remission

    Example:

    1. GET [base/Condition?patient=1032702&clinical-status=http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/condition-clinical|active,http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/condition-clinical|recurrance,http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/condition-clinical|remission

    Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Condition resources for the specified patient and all "active" statuses (active,relapse,remission). This will exclude diagnoses and health concerns without a clinicalStatus specified. (how to search by reference and how to search by token)

  2. SHOULD support searching using the combination of the patient and category and clinical-status search parameters:

    GET [base]/Condition?patient={Type/}[id]&category={system|}[code]&clinical-status=http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/condition-clinical|active,http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/condition-clinical|recurrance,http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/condition-clinical|remission

    Example:

    1. GET [base]/Condition?patient=1032702&category=http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/condition-category|problem-list-item&clinical-status=http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/condition-clinical|active,http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/condition-clinical|recurrance,http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/condition-clinical|remission

    Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Condition resources for the specified patient and category for all "active" statuses (active,relapse,remission). This will exclude diagnoses and health concerns without a clinicalStatus specified. (how to search by reference and how to search by token)

  3. SHOULD support searching using the combination of the patient and category and encounter search parameters:

    GET [base]/Condition?patient={Type/}[id]&category={system|}[code]&encounter={Type/}[id]

    Example:

    1. GET [base]/Condition?patient=1032702&category=http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/condition-category|encounter-diagnosis&encounter=1036

    Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Condition resources for the specified patient and category and encounter. When category = "encounter-diagnosis" will return the encounter diagnosis for the encounter. (how to search by reference and how to search by token)

  4. SHOULD support searching using the combination of the patient and code search parameters:

    GET [base]/Condition?patient={Type/}[id]&code={system|}[code]

    Example:

    1. GET [base]/Condition?patient=1032702&code=[http://snomed.info/sct|442311008]

    Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Condition resources for the specified patient and code. (how to search by reference and how to search by token)
