Resource Profile: Standard Lab Obs Ordinal

Draft as of 2023-08-02 Computable Name: StandardLabObsOrdinal

The base profile for all LOINC lab tests that have ordinal results.

Scope

The Standard Lab Ordinal profile is intended to be used for laboratory tests where the results could be described as terms in a coding system, with displays and identifiers. This is similar to the Standard Lab Coded profile but is constrained to ordinal lab tests only.

Observation.code

This element is constrained to a set of LOINC codes that have a LOINC scale of Ordinal (Ord).

Observaiton.value

This element is constrained to the CodeableConcept data type.

Example

The following example is provided to illustrate conformant resource content to this profile

-Standard Lab Coded Observation

Value Sets

Value Set Purpose
Standard Lab Obs Ordinal value set This is a subset of lab LOINC where the scale is Ord.
Coded ordinal Lab Result value set This value set contains coded terms that are used specifically for ordinal type lab tests. These are values such as 1+, 2+, Trace, Moderate, Large, etc. This value set is not complete and will be augmented when new or missing values are identified.
Abnormal Interpretation value set This value set contains coded terms that are used to identify the level of abnormality of a lab test.
