Cancer Pathology Data Sharing
1.0.1 - STU 1.0.1 United States of America flag

Cancer Pathology Data Sharing, published by HL7 International / Orders and Observations. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 1.0.1 built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/HL7/cancer-reporting/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

Artifacts Summary

This page provides a list of the FHIR artifacts defined as part of this implementation guide.

Registry Reporting Profiles

US Pathology MessageHeader

MessageHeader profile representing MSH segment (V2.5.1) information as defined in NAACCR volume 5, version 5

US Pathology Cancer Registry Reporting Bundle

This is an example of a US Pathology Reporting Bundle, which will wrap the US Pathology Message Header and US Pathology Registry Bundle for the purposes of reporting.

US Pathology Cancer Registry Content Bundle

Message Bundle profile representing HL7 Version 2.5.1 (V2.5.1) Messaging standard segment information as defined in NAACCR volume 5, version 5

EHR Exchange Profile

US Pathology ExchangeBundle

This collection bundle profile defines the structure for reporting to central cancer registry reporting from a pathology environment and/or from an EHR enviroment.

In order to properly process this transaction bundle, post to the root endpoint of the server (rather than the Bundle endpoint).

Note - US Core profiles are expected for Encounter, Organization, Patient, Practitioner, and Procedure, when such information is known to the source LIS.

Shared Profiles

US Pathology Specimen

Specimen profile representing SPM segment (V2.5.1) information as defined in NAACCR volume 5, version 5

US Pathology Service Request

ServiceRequest profile for the request for the analysis of a pathological sample.

US Pathology Related PractitionerRoles

PractitionerRole profile representing PV1 and OBR segment information (V2.5.1) as defined in NAACCR volume 5, version 5

US Pathology Diagnostic Report

DiagnosticReport profile representing OBR/OBX (V2.5.1) segment information as defined in NAACCR volume 5, version 5

Terminology

US Pathology Provider Types

Pathology-related Provider types

Pathology Laboratory Information System

This profile defines the expected capabilities of the ‘‘LIS’’ actor when conforming to the Cancer Pathology Data Sharing Guide. This role is responsible for allowing creation, modification and deletion of DiagnosticReports and allows searching and retrieval of resources using US Core APIs.

Central Cancer Registry Reporting Pathology EHR Capability Statement

This profile defines the expected capabilities of the ‘‘EHR’’ actor when conforming to the Cancer Pathology Data Sharing IG. This role is responsible for allowing creation, modification and deletion of ServiceRequests that represent the request for Pathological analysis (and associated reports), and allows searching and retrieval of resources using US Core APIs.
