An example of an SDC QuestionnaireResponse that represents questions and selected answers from the LOINC Hunger Vital Sign [HVS] questionnaire (LOINC code 88121-9). The example is generated using the LHC-Forms SDC Questionnaire App.

SDOHCCHungerVitalSignMap

A StructureMap instance that represents the resource that transforms a specific question and answer from the LOINC Hunger Vital Sign [HVS] questionnaire (LOINC code 88121-9) into a corresponding Observation (SDOHCC Observation response Hunger Vital Sign Q3 Example) and derived Condition (SDOHCC Condition Food Insecurity Example)

SDOHCC Observation Response Hunger Vital Sign Question 3 Example

An example of a screening response Observation that represents Food insecurity risk [HVS] (LOINC code 88124-3) from the Hunger Vital Sign [HVS] questionnaire (LOINC code 88121-9). The Food insecurity risk [HVS] Observation is not answered directly. Rather, it is determined by the responses to the 2 questions on the Hunger Vital Sign [HVS] questionnaire. For this reason, this Observation does not have an Observation.performer. Additionally, this Observation demonstrates the use of “Observation.interpretation: POS” to indicate a possible Health-Related Social Need or risk in the Food Insecurity domain.

Social Connection and Isolation Panel (NHANES) Examples

For the NHANES assessment instrument, these are examples of Observations that were not created from a QuestionnaireResponse and, therefore, do not reference QuestionnaireResponse (via derivedFrom). Instead, the Observation grouping (via hasMember) links the NHANES assessment instrument to the Observations that resulted from it.

SDOHCC Observation Response NHANES Grouping Example

An example of an Observation grouping that uses hasMember to group 6 Observations from the LOINC Social connection and isolation panel (LOINC code 76506-5) because QuestionnaireResponse is not referenced by the 6 individual Observations created from the panel. In the absence of the references to QuestionnaireResponse, this example illustrates how the 6 Observations from the panel can be linked in an Observation grouping.

SDOHCC Observation Response NHANES Question 1 Example

An example of a screening response Observation that represents the first question from the NHANES assessment instrument represented in LOINC.

SDOHCC Observation Response NHANES Question 2 Example

An example of a screening response Observation that represents the second question from the NHANES assessment instrument represented in LOINC.
