The purpose of this profile is to represent an observation of patient’s visual acuity, for the electronic exchange of health information between individuals, healthcare providers, and the My Health Record system infrastructure in Australia.

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:

  • TBD

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

This content will be taken for discussion with HL7 Australia and may be removed or changed.

Profile specific guidance

Whether the measured vision is corrected or uncorrected should be recorded in the observation code.

The use of a pinhole occluder should be recorded as an additional coding in observation code.

The eye or eyes whose vision is measured should be recorded as a body site.

The type of chart used should be recorded as a device type.

Results in Snellen notation should be recorded as ratios, see example Distance visual acuity, both eyes, as a ratio.

Results in N-point notation should be recorded as quantities, see example Near visual acuity, right eye, in N-point notation.

Results of low vision should be recorded as coded terms, see example Distance visual acuity, left eye, as a code.

Undefined terminology resources include:

  • for category, a code for a category of "Vision"
  • for code, a value set containing the SNOMED CT codes for types of visual acuity test
  • for code, SNOMED CT codes for distance visual acuity, corrected; distance visual acuity, uncorrected; near visual acuity, corrected; near visual acuity, uncorrected
  • for valueCodeableConcept, a value set containing the SNOMED CT codes for low vision results
  • for valueQuantity, a code for unit of measurement for LogMAR notation
  • for valueQuantity, a code for unit of measurement for N-point notation
  • for valueQuantity, a code for unit of measurement for M-size notation
  • for bodySite, a value set containing the SNOMED CT codes for left, right and both eyes.
  • for method, a value set containing the SNOMED CT codes for the types of chart commonly used in Australia.
