Resource Profile: ADHA Imaging Result Observation

The purpose of this profile is to represent a diagnostic imaging observation issued by the diagnostic service provider for the electronic exchange of imaging examination observations between healthcare providers, and between healthcare providers and the My Health Record system infrastructure in Australia. The observation may represent the result of a simple examination or study series.

This profile identifies the additional constraints, extensions, and value sets that build on and extend Observation that are supported.

This profile is designed to set an Observation standard for:

  • Query for diagnostic imaging related tests results for a patient
  • Record or update diagnostic imaging results belonging to a patient

This profile may be referred to by APIs, which will be listed here when available.

Profile specific guidance

  • Observation.category provides an efficient way of supporting system interactions, e.g. restricting searches to “imaging” observations. Implementers need to understand that data categorisation is somewhat subjective. The categorisation applied by the source may not align with a receiver’s expectations.
  • The Observation resource can represent a result using one or both of a single value with Observation.value, or set of results using either Observation.component.value or Observation.hasMember.
    • Although all are marked as must support, sending systems are not required to support all choices, but they SHALL support at least one of these elements.
    • A receiving or persisting system SHALL support both elements.
  • Observation.identifier may contain the same identifier as in the order or report connecting the resources that are related to a single request fulfilment workflow.

Notes:

Below is an overview of the mandatory and optional search parameters. FHIR search operations and the syntax used to describe the interactions is described here.

Name Type Conformance Description Path
category token SHALL SHALL The classification of the type of observation Observation.category
subject:identifier token SHALL The subject that the observation is about Observation.subject.identifier
code token SHALL The code of the observation type Observation.code
date date SHALL Obtained date/time. If the obtained element is a period, a date that falls in the period Observation.effective
status date SHOULD The status of the observation Observation.status

Mandatory Search Parameters

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

  1. SHALL support searching for all observations for a patient using the subject:identifier search parameter:

    GET [base]/Observation?subject:identifier={system|}[code]

    Example:

     GET [base]/Observation?subject:identifier=http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/id/hi/ihi/1.0|8003608000228437
    

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

  2. SHALL support searching using the combination subject:identifier and category search parameter:

    GET [base]/Observation?subject:identifier={system|}[code]&category[code]

    Example:

     GET [base]/Observation?subject:identifier=http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/id/hi/ihi/1.0|8003608000228437&category=http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/observation-category|imaging
    

    Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Observation resources with the category of "imaging" for the specified patient (how to search by :identifier and how to search by token)

  3. SHALL support searching using the combination subject:identifier and code search parameter:

    GET [base]/Observation?subject:identifier={system|}[code]&code={system|}[code]

    Example:

     GET [base]/Observation?subject:identifier=http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/id/hi/ihi/1.0|8003608000228437&code=http://snomed.info/sct|427407003
    

    Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Observation resources with the code of an 427407003 (X-ray of right knee) for the specified patient (how to search by :identifier and how to search by token)

  4. SHALL support searching using the combination of the subject:identifier and date search parameters:

    GET [base]/Observation?subject:identifier={system|}[code]&date=[date]

    Example:

     GET [base]/Observation?subject:identifier=http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/id/hi/ihi/1.0|8003608000228437&date=ge2013-03-14
    

    Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Observation resources for the specified patient that have a date greater than or equal to 21st Jan 2013. (how to search by :identifier and how to search by date)
