Active as of 2022-11-23 | Computable Name: SHCInfectiousDiseaseLaboratoryResultObservationAD |
Profile for reporting laboratory results indicating current or previous infection status for a disease without a specified laboratory result profile.
Description:
For representing laboratory test results related to infection with or immunity to an infectious disease.
Primary profile (DM) | Fallback profile (AD) | Scope of profile pair |
---|---|---|
Lab results - COVID-19 | Fallback | COVID-19 only |
Lab results - Generic | Fallback | Other infectious diseases |
Note! This is a fallback “allowable data” (AD) profile. Implementers should validate against the primary “data minimization” (DM) profile if possible.
Usage:
Description of Profiles, Differentials, Snapshots and how the different presentations work.
