Definitions for the ActiveSurveillance logical model.
Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be foundhere
| 0. ActiveSurveillance | |
| Definition | Logical model representing an active surveillance strategy in which the patient is monitored over time without active treatment, prior to disease progression. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet ActiveSurveillance). |
| Short | Active Surveillance |
| Control | 0..* |
| Is Modifier | false |
| Logical Model | Instances of this logical model are not marked to be the target of a Reference |
| Invariants | as-1: If endDate is present, it must be greater than or equal to startDate. (endDate.empty() or endDate >= startDate) |
| 2. ActiveSurveillance.subject | |
| Definition | Reference to the patient (subject) under active surveillance. |
| Short | Subject |
| Control | 1..1 |
| Type | http://hl7.eu/fhir/cancer-common/StructureDefinition/CancerPatient |
| 4. ActiveSurveillance.cancerConditionAtDiagnosisReference | |
| Definition | Reference to the cancer condition at diagnosis for which surveillance is applied. |
| Short | CancerCondition AtDiagnosis Reference |
| Comments | The reference to CancerCondition is limited to the CancerConditionAtDiagnosis because ActiveSurveillance is discontinued if a ClinicalCancerProgression occurs, at which point a different treatment strategy is initiated. |
| Control | 1..1 |
| Type | Reference(CancerConditionAtDiagnosis) |
| 6. ActiveSurveillance.startDate | |
| Definition | Start date of the active surveillance period. |
| Short | StartDate |
| Control | 1..1 |
| Type | dateTime |
| Primitive Value | This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension |
| 8. ActiveSurveillance.endDate | |
| Definition | End date of the active surveillance period (if concluded). |
| Short | EndDate |
| Comments | It might not be available while the active surveillanceis still ongoing; however, an end date must eventually be recorded. |
| Control | 0..1 |
| Type | dateTime |
| Primitive Value | This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension |
