Consolidated CDA (C-CDA)
4.0.0-ballot - STU4 United States of America flag

Consolidated CDA (C-CDA), published by Health Level Seven. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 4.0.0-ballot built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/HL7/CDA-ccda/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

Logical Model: Indication

Official URL: http://hl7.org/cda/us/ccda/StructureDefinition/Indication Version: 4.0.0-ballot
Draft as of 2024-11-21 Computable Name: Indication
Other Identifiers: urn:ietf:rfc:3986#Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)#urn:hl7ii:2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.22.4.19:2023-05-01

This template represents the rationale for an action such as an encounter, a medication administration, or a procedure. The id element can be used to reference a problem recorded elsewhere in the document, or can be used with a code and value to record the problem. Indications for treatment are not laboratory results; rather the problem associated with the laboratory result should be cited (e.g., hypokalemia instead of a laboratory result of Potassium 2.0 mEq/L). Use the Drug Monitoring Act [templateId 2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.22.4.123] to indicate if a particular drug needs special monitoring (e.g., anticoagulant therapy). Use Precondition for Substance Administration [templateId 2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.22.4.25.2] to represent that a medication is to be administered only when the associated criteria are met.

Many templates in C-CDA R2.1 reference the Indications Template. In the next C-CDA release we will update those templates to reference the Indications template.

The Reason 2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.24.3.88:2023-05-01 should used to represent the justification for an action, or for not performing an action, such as patient, system, or non-problem/diagnosis medical-related reasons Immunization Refusal Reason 2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.22.4.53 should be used to represent the rationale for the patient declining an immunization as the value set is crafted for the immunization use case.
