0.5.0 - cibuild US

2026 US Quality Core Implementation Guide, published by Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 0.5.0 built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/FHIR/us-quality-core/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

## Resource Profile: US Quality Core DiagnosticReport Profile for Laboratory Results Reporting

Official URL: http://fhir.org/guides/onc/us-quality-core/StructureDefinition/us-quality-core-diagnosticreport-lab | Version: 0.5.0
Active as of 2026-05-15 | Computable Name: USQualityCoreDiagnosticReportLab

Profile of DiagnosticReport for laboratory results for decision support/quality metrics. Defines the core set of elements and extensions for quality rule and measure authors.

Usage

See the patterns page for implementation and usage patterns.

### Examples

Blood Panel Example

USCDI+ Quality Elements:

- status: (USCDI+ Quality) (USCDI) registered | partial | preliminary | final +
- category: (USCDI+ Quality) (USCDI) Service category
- category:LaboratorySlice: (USCDI+ Quality) (USCDI) Service category
- code: (USCDI+ Quality) (USCDI) US Core Laboratory Report Order Code
- effective[x]: (USCDI+ Quality) (USCDI) Diagnostically relevant time (typically the time of specimen collection)
- result: (USCDI+ Quality) (USCDI) Observations

Usages:

- Examples for this Profile: DiagnosticReport/example
- CapabilityStatements using this Profile: US Quality Core Client CapabilityStatement and US Quality Core Server CapabilityStatement
