Information | StructureDefinition.comment | Values for comment differ: 'Not all terminology uses fit this general pattern. In some cases, models should not use CodeableConcept and use Coding directly and provide their own structure for managing text, codings, translations and the relationship between elements and pre- and post-coordination.' vs 'Historically used for laboratory results (known as 'abnormal flag' ), its use extends to other use cases where coded interpretations are relevant. Often reported as one or more simple compact codes this element is often placed adjacent to the result value in reports and flow sheets to signal the meaning/normalcy status of the result.'

description | This profile constrains the Observation resource to represent results produced by laboratory (including pathology) tests or panels/studies in a patient summary. This observation may represent the result of a simple laboratory test such as hematocrit or it may group the set of results produced by a multi-test study or panel such as a complete blood count, a dynamic function test, a urine specimen study. In the latter case, the observation carries the overall conclusion of the study and or a global interpretation by the producer of the study, in the comment element; and references the atomic results of the study as "has-member" child observations. | This profile constrains the Observation resource to represent results produced by laboratory (including pathology) tests or panels/studies in a patient summary.

purpose | This profile constrains the Observation resource to represent a laboratory or pathology in vitro diagnostic test or panel/study. In case of a panel or multiple-observation study, the results of the panel or study appear as sub-observations. In this case this top-level Observation acts as a grouper of all the observations belonging to the panel or study. The top-level observation may carry a conclusion in the value element and or a global interpretation by the producer of the study, in the comment element. |
