As we are not aware of anybody populating multiples in HL7 v2, we did not provide further mapping guidance. If you need to support multiples, please submit a gForge to OO for the HL7 v2 to FHIR mapping Implementation Guide. |
| OBX-21 (Observation Instance Identifier) | is equivalent to | identifier | |
| OBX-21 (Observation Instance Identifier) | is equivalent to | identifier.type.coding.code | |
| OBX-23 (Performing Organization Name) | is equivalent to | performer[2](Organization) | |
| OBX-23 (Performing Organization Name) | is equivalent to | performer[2](PractitionerRole[1].organization(Organization)) | |
| OBX-24 (Performing Organization Address) | is equivalent to | performer[2](Organization.address) | |
| OBX-24 (Performing Organization Address) | is equivalent to | performer[2](PractitionerRole[1].organization(Organization.address)) | |
| OBX-25 (Performing Organization Medical Director) | is equivalent to | performer[2](PractitionerRole[1].practitioner) | |
| OBX-25 (Performing Organization Medical Director) | is equivalent to | performer[2](PractitionerRole[1].code.coding.code) | |
| OBX-25 (Performing Organization Medical Director) | is equivalent to | performer[2](PractitionerRole[1].code.coding.system) | |
| OBX-29 (Observation Type) | is equivalent to | category[1].coding.code | |
| OBX-29 (Observation Type) | is equivalent to | category[1].coding.system | |
| OBX-30 (Observation Sub-Type) | is equivalent to | extension[2].url | The sub type was necessary in v2 to distinguish purpose of the observation when it appears in a message in the same group (e.g., answers to ask at order entry questions with actual results ). Within FHIR flagging the observation may not be necessary, but that is not yet clear. Until then, we will keep the thought of needing an extension, but not create it yet. |
| OBX-30 (Observation Sub-Type) | is equivalent to | extension[2].valueCodeableConcept.coding.code | |
| OBX-30 (Observation Sub-Type) | is equivalent to | extension[2].valueCodeableConcept.coding.system | |
| OBX-33 (Observation Related Specimen Identifier) | is equivalent to | extension[1].uri | Note that in v2 messages the observations that a calculated observation is derived from on and involve multiple specimens are typically not included with the message. To enable relating the calculated observation to the correct specimens it relates to, the v2 message should include the originating observations that in turn use OBX-33 to link to the correct specimens. Without that, and if there are multiple specimens in OBX-33, there is no standard method to correctly associate the observation with the correct specimens. The implementer will have to devise an appropriate method for that in their context. |
| OBX-33 (Observation Related Specimen Identifier) | is equivalent to | extension[1].valueReference(Group.member.entity(Specimen.identifier[1]) | |
| OBX-33 (Observation Related Specimen Identifier) | is equivalent to | extension[2].uri | |
| OBX-33 (Observation Related Specimen Identifier) | is equivalent to | extension[2].valueReference(Group.member.entity(Specimen.identifier[2])) | |
| OBX-33 (Observation Related Specimen Identifier) | is equivalent to | specimen(Specimen.identifier[1]) | |
| OBX-33 (Observation Related Specimen Identifier) | is equivalent to | specimen(Specimen.identifier[2]) |
